2025 Meetup?

We had a coffee meet organized by djberta in Airdrie back in Dcember. There were only about 6 of us in attendance. I enjoyed it a lot. If anyone is in for a coffee meet for an hour of shop talk name a place and I'll try to be there.
 
Don, I’ve got plans to put another one together in Feb. I’m down with a bad cold right now and not wanting to spread it. If you make one I will see if I can make it. Is there a place in Airdrie or north Calgary that might be better. We basically took over part of the a&w.
 
Other possible locations are food courts at malls. Cross Iron Mills, Sunridge, etc. I didn't mind A&W but if the group got bigger that might be an issue.
