Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

@Doggggboy :
Sacrilege to a nice Stan Rogers song (Ontario Lad by the way that died way to early) ….
I would import a nice keg for the visit. Yes, brew can come from the home but we can draw off 4 sources….. LOL

Not yet. Just getting permits to extend the shop to make room
Never knew it existed (but also outside my immediate hobby solar system). But I'd be down for that. If not a 'machining' meetup, then a tour for those just interested.
My thinking is that the shop has ample space for lots of attendants and individuals can choose whether they want to participate in open house activities or CHMW socializing or a bit of both. I would love to host the meeting myself at my shop, but I simply do not have room for more than 3 ~ 4 people at a time.

That's my problem right now too. We'd have to walk through the shop single file, and each machine only has enough space for one person to work comfortably around it. That space is often shared by multiple machines.
While I'd love host a get together, and meet others that share the same disor...interests, I just don't have the space right now.
We should just get into the back of your truck to hitch a ride with you out to NB for a party, then a ride back as part of your move.Once out in New Brunswick I can set something up. Might need some help moving some things around
I can't even do that right. I burn water trying to boil it.....

Well, how many pp can Black cat Metal accommodate?
Most garages, including mine cannot handle more then say 6 or 8 pp. At least not more if we allocate some personal space to each person.
We could always meet at Tims like before - through I think that also has a limit of say 20?

It is an industrial bay, so at least 15 ~ 20 people I would guess.
So, w/ a keg, 13-18. Good to know.
Duno, I would like to meet up have to make a list or something I could host aswell but I maybe bit far out
