Patrick Kelly</font></ --20cf303347d3889555051a73f51d Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable hi folks, For anyone wanting to meet in the Kingston area instead, you can meet the crew at Clairmont Provincial Park between 9:45 am and 10:00 am. If coming from the Wolfville area, take HWY 101 exit 16 (Aylesford, Auburn, Morden) turn left off the exit, then right onto HWY 1 and continue until you reach the park entrance.
