Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • 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!

Dangit! family issue came up I cannot wiggle out of. Lets consider another one a couple months from now?

On a semi-related front, I think some of you have heard of AMEN group in Edmonton. They meet on a Thursday evening of the month & judging by the newsletter some very interesting projects & individuals. I'd love to go to meet some of the guys & see what they are working on but kind of a bugger round trip for that alone. I haven't thought this through but maybe just to kick the idea out - what do you think of a 'part way' meet-up? Maybe we pick a Saturday in Red Deer or maybe we hook it to the Wetaskwin Reynolds museum metalworking weekend in fall? Not a high frequency thing, maybe once to see how it goes? Would there be a Calgary appetite? If so I could bounce if off them to gage interest on their side. If I'm the only model engineering geek, that's fine too. (hey, its familiar territory LOL). Just wondering out loud.
 
Interested in attending tomorrow...always good to see/hear what others are up to.

Would also be interested in a pan-province meet in Ded Reer; I've always assumed the Edmonton folks have an easier time finding quality, used machinery and tooling but interested in their perspective and also see what projects they have/are working on.
