Moncton Breakfast Discussion
There’s been a discussion about the Moncton breakfasts and I thought it was better suited here than the Scribbles. Here’s the thread that kicked it off. It starts with the last comments I made which I moved from there to here.

I will however say that me personally, or Cache Up NB itself, won’t host monthly breakfasts. We do a monthly podcast and that’s hard to commit to sometimes so something like a monthly event would be off the table. But there are plenty of folks out there I know who would love to take it on. Pa said he would and I know there are others as well

I think what TNJ said though is part of it though. Most folks in our area tend to not want to invade someone else’s “turf” so to speak. The MGA’s been doing it awhile so folks tend to want to be appreciative and not critical. To me, it’s not a criticism. The events are great for those who like them but people’s lives changes and priorities change and sometimes people just can’t get to things like they did before. Health, job, family, whatever. That’s the way it goes. It does not do harm to anyone to say, “Hey, I noticed you’re really busy or have stuff going on. I’d be more than willing to take this on for you to help you out”.

The Moncton breakfasts need to be taken on by someone else. The MGA have been hosting them for almost two years and the last year has seen virtually no sign of Dragoon. Health issues or not, if you can’t meet your commitments then it’s time to hand them on to someone else. It’s an event a lot of people enjoy and I don’t think there’s any harm in passing the torch. Zonker and Georard did it.

We love the event at Moosers. We didn’t go today because we thought nobody else would be there. I wrote to Dragooon a while ago about taking it over but got no response, but I don’t care who hosts it. I would rather keep it at Moosers because the food is good and the service is great. We are always well received

Same for most other people appearently other wise it would have happened a while ago.

There are many other people who could host it and many other places to do it. Variety would be nice, explore, move it around. Just my opinion.

I don’t understand the why the MGA is still hosting them if they can’t even show up and need someone else to do it? let it go to someone else who will put some effort into it.

Zonker should take his event back

Lex and I had out own breakfast, at sportsrock. Moosers didn’t even look like it was going to open at 9.

Showed up to Moosers this morning, no one there. Was there not a breakfast today?
Well as I said before, I’d be willing to host or co-host with someone new. I do agree with Pa, Moosers is a great spot to have the breakfast. Good good, service, and atmosphere.
What do others think?
as the saying goes ”if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it …. since I moved here and ‘attended’ many a Mooser’s Brekkie Event …. I couldn’t help but notice how the attendance seems to have it’s ups & downs … there appears to be MORE ups than downs … out of town cachers, all of the regulars and the ‘let’s go and find that cache after brekkie’ …. to say the least ….. it appears that a MISTAKE was made on the latest publication …. NO reason to turn the world upside down …. looking forward to the next brekkie event with fellow cachers and perhaps a bunch of us go for that one that we can’t get !!
When it was at Don Cherry’s we were getting 40 people and the service and food was great and many people would go out after the event to cache together so who host or where it is doesn’t matter. But that being said, moving it to other places and areas can be fun and letting others host it could keep it alive and different. I love change and variety, others detest it so it doesn’t matter too much to me as I don’t go very often anymore. Perhaps if it was closer to home or was different I would go more often. Personally I don’t like the fact that the host doesn’t go but to each their own I guess.
any chance anyone wants to host something a bit more family friendly than a beer pub breakfast perhaps?
there’s loads of family restaurants in town.
Lots of kids and families on Sunday morning at Moosers, not only with the geocachers.
there’s a BIG difference between place with kids in it and a family friendly restaurant.
things like _clean_ changing stations, big bathrooms with enough room for dad to bring the boys to pee, fun kids menus (not just smaller portions cheaper), etc etc etc.
doesn’t much matter anyhow,
we’ll likely never get to one with our busy 3 kid schedule 🙂
they DO have good food.
and i’ve never been served poorly there.
spent MANY a biz lunch there.
