hi all - stumbled upon the forum after shopping in a local games store and someone mentioned i should check it out - glad i did!

was close to buying some chips as i am hoping to be able to host some home games soon but glad i held off to see what i might be able to pick up here.

curious to see if there are any other canadians on the board here..cheers

Chilliwack here. Last time I counted, there were over 25 members in LM/FV (if you include Whistler). There is talk about getting a meetup together once Covid goes away.

Welcome! I'm not from Cananada though, I live in your basement about an hour south of the peace arch crossing.

I hear you all's fine country might let me come to Whistler this winter....a winter meet up in the Whistler area wouldn't suck. I'll bring some dead money.

 

[JTBass]

Burlington ontario lots of great people on this site willing to help out and answer questions.

 

[allforcharity]

There's a sample set full of higher end samples available to Canadians for free evaluation.

Nice!.

I would like to do this with my current table build. I've done the same with a cheap piece of velveteen, so it's good to know speed cloth does the same, as I'd like to use speed cloth instead.

I was thinking about attaching snap fasteners to the cloth and the table instead of using a draw string. Do you think it would work with the speed cloth? Or is drawstring the way to go?


also - how do you attach your rails?

Welcome and get ready to empty your wallet!

I remember the NBI. Anyone old enough to remember the Coach House in North Van?

Wow lots of people in the lower mainland. We should have a chipaholic support group meeting in Thursdays or something

I always remember it being referred to as the "Roach House".

 

[SteveEH]

The Roach it was haha!

Well if this thread is going to devolve into a discussion of defunct peeler bars (NBI, CH so far), how about the Wild Duck Inn (near the Pitt Meadows Bridge,) the Fraser Arms (Marine Drive near Granville) , the Blue Boy (Marine at Fraser), the Biltmore (Kingsway at 12th), the Ivanhoe/Cobalt/American (Main near Georgia Viaduct), and probably a few others. And yes, I am old enough to remember them all with varying degrees of fondness
