If you said Baseball you are correct. Although it may be argued that Baseball is similar to games played in 1344 the first known reference was in a 1744 British publication. Although the Quaife/Archer ballgames are not referenced in any publications (that we are aware of) they have become an integral part of the reunion.
So, the question for everyone reading is "How important is a baseball diamond?" We would like to understand the importance of a ball diamond so we can make an informed decision on location.
So please, post your comments and let us know your thoughts. Please remember to share this link with family that may have been missed, with a request to provide an email address for further follow-up.
Until next week - The Reunion Committee

Where has the time gone!
FAMILY: Those who descend from one common progenitor; a tribe, clan, or race; kindred; house; as, the human family; the family of Abraham; the father of a family.
REUNION: the act or process of coming together again; the state or condition of having been brought together again; a gathering of relatives, friends, or former associates
It is amazing how time passes so quickly. I was thinking about the reunion last year and all of a sudden there is less than six months to do some major thinking and creative planning for a fun-filled weekend.
I have tentatively booked Antler Hill again for the July long weekend this year. This year July 1 falls on a Friday so some people may be able to add a Thursday or Monday onto the already celebrated long weekend. Although my preference is to go to Saunders Creek there are some challenges that accompany that decision. With that being said I have not abandoned the idea and will keep everyone posted.
I have started the blog in an attempt to keep everyone informed about what is happening and provide a forum for some suggestions about what people want to see, what they like or dislike so that everyone can have an enjoyable weekend.
I will commit to updating the blog regularly with some of the great ideas and planning that is taking place. I have quite a few email addresses but know I don't have them all, so please pass along the blog address to anyone I may have missed and please cc me on the email (scresort@telusplanet.net) so that there is a comprehensive list for the next reunion planners.
I look forward to planning the reunion and seeing all those able to make it in 2011.
