Great idea Ian - a winter get together could be a good way to get every together again (or for the first time for some/many). And for many it is a less busy time.
Not belonging to a club is not a problem - I am sure that someone else could host you or play at a public course.
Hopefully we get a few more responses on here. The Hamilton area could be a good central meeting place if we have folks coming from Toronto, Niagara, London, etc.
