Count me in!!!!! I'm in! 14 days quarantine or not.Hello all. I'm planning to attend the Ron Fellows Driving School this coming Spring (March or April 2021) and I'm wondering if anyone would care to join me. We might be allowed a group of up to 12 people and I'd be pleased to attend with other CCF members in the Edmonton area or anywhere else in Canada. I've now set up a profile with the school and they've agreed to keep me posted when the Spring dates open up. Right now they're booking into the end of February and I'm told that the March, April and May dates in particular are snapped up fast. They should open up March dates in about a month. This will be for the Level 1 course (beginner level).
Keep in mind that COVID will likely still be around by then, so this is not only a commitment for the US$1,000 GM subsidized cost, 2 or 3 days of your time, the flight there/back plus other travel expenses, but also quarantining for 14 days after your return. I'll be planning my vacation time to coincide with this. Even if you're retired, the circumstances these days make this a more onerous endeavour and you have to be willing to accept the risk. My understanding is that there may be no health care travel insurance that will cover you for COVID. You also have to accept wearing a mask for many hours at the airport and during all flight time, which my spouse says isn't a pleasant experience. You only have a year to take advantage of this driving school, from the date you took possession of your C8 and so far, there's no indication that will change due to COVID.

Let me know if seriously interested within the next 3 or so weeks, by PM or posting on this thread. Depending upon the interest, I'll see if the school will book a group together, when the dates open up. If so, everyone will need to set up your individual profiles with the school and provide your VIN. I'll also try and coordinate dates that work for anyone interested, by contacting all.
Note: I tried to see if they'd extend the school into a third day for an extra cost but I was told no. Too bad given the effort to get there and back. Thanks and I look forward to hearing back from those interested.

OK: this is the "last call" for anyone wanting to be part of a CCF group going to the Spring Mountain driving school just outside of Vegas. April 2021 dates just opened up today and I'd prefer to go April 5/6 or April 7/8 if enough people want those dates instead. I've sent a PM to anyone who expressed an interest in going already and I'll see "who's in", but I'm posting this as another invite for any new members or anyone who was previously on the fence. I expect the dates will fill up quickly, so please get back to me in the next day or two if interested. Many thanks.
We attended last September. The quarantine was fairly easy back then. Vegas hotels were $27 night US. SM is first class all the way. My wife took this course and loved every minute. This is something everyone should take advantage of.
If the shitshow we’re living in at present is sorted out , I plan on going spring 22
