I just called their host hotel: Delta Armouries in London and booked my reservation.

http://www.deltahotels.com/en/hotels...don-armouries/

I received the festival room rate of 89 dollars (this is a NICE hotel!) per night.

I had also joined (didn't remember that I did this!) and therefore receive FREE wireless access for the nights you stay if you join the Delta Privilege Club prior to booking. I don't know about anyone else, but free wireless is huge for me! So, if interested, you can book for a really great hotel and join the hotel club membership first before you book.

There is no code that you can input directly into the hotel website, so I would just call the hotel directly.

I just asked for the rate for the London Lesbian Film Festival and they have a block of rooms available for the really good rate of 89.00 (tax not included) for a sweet hotel.

This is really good considering I stayed recently at a highway hotel for more than that and this is a historic hotel in the heart of downtown London!

(no, I am not affiliated with this festival!)

Oh Ms Chancie, I would like it if you could go too.

HSIN - I don't think that Team Sarnia will be staying overnight, unfortunately.

I'd be all over that but I KNOW that particular battle is one that I won't be able to win. (However - that totally is a good price on that hotel.)

Wryly · 03-07-2011, 07:20 PM

Damn - I don't think I'll be able to make this. But it does sound like a lot of fun. I'll try to see what I can do.

Hey Salty! How are you doing? I love Port Credit - but it has been a while since I've done anything more than a drive along Lakeshore Road.

Sure you can make it!

If you bring a carload of people it'll cost less to travel -and- I'll be your bff.

C'mon, I used to drive from Toronto to London -all- the time just to go to a bar for a couple of hours and then go home.

(I forget where you are from though, Wryly. I'm bad like that.)

ETA - oh yeah, Niagara area. Duh. YOU CAN DO IT.

Wryly · 03-07-2011, 07:30 PM

Betenoire - I'll see if I can switch what I have planned that day (sporting event in Toronto) but I'm not sure if I will be able to. *sigh*
I don't have a problem with the drive - - I used to do Toronto to Windsor all the time.....when I lived in Toronto. Now I live near the Falls - the drive to London isn't bad at all.
But, like I said, I have something else scheduled already. If I can switch and make it to the festival then perhaps I'll get a hotel.

Bumping an old-ish thread, but have any of you been to Sparta, Ontario? I am researching my roots, and found that several ancestors are buried in the Friends (Quaker) cemetery there. My g-g grandfather surely had a hand in building the Quaker meeting hall in the 1860's. I suspect that if I went there, I'd find my kin. In fact, I'll probably have to come up at some point for research

As a matter of fact, I have been to Sparta and it's really quite lovely. I think you'd be pleased to know that you have/had family there.

Also, I'm in Windsor so if you'd like a get together, I'd be up for that. I'm supposed to be going to Cedars this weekend. Apparently there's some sort of party going on this coming weekend. Let me know if any of you will be there!

I am new to the site and asked one of the moderator's if there is a Canadian thread. So... I for one am very happy that folks are posting in here.

Actually I think we should have a Canadian gathering of members, has this been done recently does anyone know?

Morice Diesel · 05-17-2013, 12:40 AM

I don't believe there has ever been a Canadian gathering, however those in the GTA I do believe use to get together.
