CKCA’s regional meeting and golf tournament in Chatham, Ont. featured a tour of RM Classic Cars, shop tours, golf and networking opportunities.

The latest regional meeting and golf tournament hosted by the Canadian Kitchen Cabinet Association - this time to Southwestern Ontario - was a big hit with participants.
Some 75 members attended the two-day event in Chatham, Ont. on Sept. 9-10, which featured a popular mix of networking opportunities, plant tours and mingling with fellow woodworking professionals, followed by an afternoon of golf.
The event kicked off with a tour of world-renowned RM Classic Cars on Monday, Sept. 9, followed by dinner and networking at the Retro Suites Hotel.
Tuesday, Sept. 10, featured three exceptional shop tours at Windmill Cabinets Shop, Mylen Custom Kitchens and Leeds Cabinets Ltd. Following the tours, participants met for lunch and an afternoon of golf at the Deer Run Golf Club.
“We had a great meeting,” CKCA President Jake Wolters said the day after the event.
“I already had a number of calls and emails and people are telling me they really enjoyed this latest get-together.
“We had great turnout and that’s something we have really been focusing on. We are working to get our manufacturer member numbers up and I think this shows it is working.”
Wolters said it is good to see so were able to offer the membership great variety and of course the networking opportunities and meeting with peers is always beneficial for participants.”

The Forum will be held Feb. 6-8 at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas.
