Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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!

Towards Langley ? A Park parking lot ? If you bring a desiccated driver, adult beverages might be allowed to be consumed. They go good with smokeys . On the other hand, though, something like Fort Langley Farm Museum parking lot, but that might be hard to arrange. Anyway just a thought.
I think you want a designated driver not a dried out one

LOL. My spelling skills strike again. Mind you at my age, I'll rate the dried out and wrinkled up.

It's quite likely that at our age our designated driver has also gone through dry-out.....so...... He likely wasn't wrong in his incorrectness.I think you want a designated driver not a dried out one

I confess that's taking dessication to an all new level!

Sorry Don .It looks like my poor spelling has provided an amusing sidetrack.

That doesn't take much around here..... Take a picture of a rock and post it, and someone is going to reminisce about the Rolling Stones concert they went to in '71, or was it '72?.....
...... Just in case we hadn't derailed this post far enough.
I'm interested, in meeting up with a few other metalworking hobbyists, in the lower mainland. Unfortunately, due to family health reasons, I can't be away from my East Vancouver home for more than 3.5-4 hours, so the closer the better.I was wondering if there is enough interest to organize a meetup for folks in the Lower Mainland this Summer.
BBQ, Swap meet, Bragging Bench, Show & Tell, sometime in July perhaps?
I'm still looking for a venue - so all suggestions are welcome!

I would be interested in doing a meet if something comes about and if my schedule allows. I'll also be in Vancouver area next month for some bridge repair work.

In the lower mainland + in the summer + no beer = desiccated drive.I think you want a designated driver not a dried out one
