Everyone who doesn't have theirs yet is getting a US Quart in plastic engine oil bottles - $31.50 each. Thestelster has already paid. They are all already bottled so no need to bring an empty container.

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!

Adding you to the PM for details.
Parking is zero problem. Getting to the parking may not be doable. Gotta drive through a ravine to get to the shop. I can't remember it well enough to give advice. I suggest parking on the road out front and walking in. It's not nearly as far as my laneway. See you there!

so, an update on Saturday's event, I have 2 guest speakers attending, 1 is my cousin named Scott, he owns his own full CNC machine shop and does this for a living, used to be an instructor for Fanshawe College in St. Thomas to teach CNC, he'll be bringing his laptop to plug into my big screen to show us some things he does/uses at home and at school, and... I've just heard back from Wise Line Tools in town, they will be attending (2) to bring an info package of their stores(2) and products and services they offer, they sell hand power tools, most popular brands, AND, they have a metal roll form shop in Tillsonburg to sell sheet metal for buildings, inside or outside, my house roof and shop walls inside came from them, prices are really tough to beat! so if you're into power tools, corded or battery, or are in the process or thinking about a shop, and need it covered in metal sheet, these will be the guys to talk to! They're coming bearing gifts and also asked if there might be a draw, I told him we'd figure something out! and the weather looks to be shaping up, so it should be a good day, hope I don't let anybody down with a lackluster performance on my part!! so @Susquatch , I don't know who's doing the head count thing, my cousin is bringing his boys (he's on dad duty for two boys 8ish), and Wise Line will be sending 2 guys out as well. hopefully this doesn't throw a wrench into things, porta-john is here, looks brand new!
