  • 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!

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!

Not sure I'll be quitting my day job

Yep, very cool place, indeed.

I’m going to get these mixed up- Calgary has caves or something underground I’m supposed to check out? It was Calgary or Moose Jaw (I think)

Then there’s a steam train that takes you to an old west period village that’s supposedly a great way to spend part of a weekend, but I don’t remember if that was Moose Jaw or somewhere else

Someone on here will know

Moose Jaw underground

You are studying bread and I am watching your strange slang and jokes. Although I have not read the old aphorisms, I can feel the artistic atmosphere. It is a good opportunity to learn

We are a very eclectic group. That's one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.

There is a steam engine that runs from Stettler to Big Valley. Great fun for kids of all ages. A very good meal awaits you in Big Valley. They were doing some renos on the steam engine a few years back, don't know if they're done yet. I think they ran some early diesel locos in it's stead.

No caves in Calgary that I'm aware of. The steam train and old west village may very well be Heritage Park.

I think the Stettler steam train runs in the summer & diesel in the winter. The "boss" took me n' the grandkids on the diesel ride theme train before X-mas ( Polar Express). A bit pricey but very much a fun evening for the kids. The steam train is an "old west theme" with open car viewing & a wild west train robbery skit. The passenger cars appear to be WW11 vintage but are dressed to look like something our great grandfolks would have boarded to migrate & settle the west
