      Note that this year's Kingston Open event is at the same time as Kingston's big comic and games convention! That is a popular event which attracts many to the city.

                      Hello there Ottawa participants in the Kingston Open, could anyone give me a drive there for Round 1 on Friday? I would not need any other rides, and I would happily cover all of our drive-thru expenses from the Ottawa area to Kingston. I would not need any more rides, either at the end of Round 1, nor at the end of the tournament on Sunday.

                      If you're interested, please email me at arismarghetis at rogers dot com, thank you.

                          Hi folks, thanks for the offers, and I already have a ride now. See you there.

                          Now, if by some wild chance, anyone is driving to Bath after Round 1 ?!
