Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Alrighty, since the June Mississauga meetup was a complete bust, I am giving up on that and making a new thread for Toronto.

Throwing out the date of Friday 20 October. Hopefully it works.

The standard Scotland Yard.

Who can make it? :drinkwine:

Yup. I'm in!

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Yes probably

JamesM Sep 10th 2017 2:32 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Alright people need to start getting organised and responding!

The Yard is at it's best when there is a good dozen of us!

So start looking at the date in your calendar and locking it down!

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Agreed with James!! Let's get this organized!! We are well overdue for a meetup, so I am looking forward to this!! :)

Sorry - I can't make that date - I return to Canada the following day so after that works for me 😀

We will be in the U.K. sometime in October...don't know the dates yet. Hopefully it won't be the 20th. :fingerscrossed:

She wasn't sure when I mentioned it to her but based on previous meetups, I suspect she'll decide to come last minute

SchnookoLoly Sep 14th 2017 4:50 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Tell her that her attendance has specifically been requested!!!

I'll be in Toronto all next week, & have no plans/can't wing it to go back in October.

Have a great time all :).

Nope, just me visiting Miss Piff and her boyfriend for a weekend, he'll be home playing cars or bathroom :rofl:

Poop was hoping you'd make it down! Next time. Let us know how your plans for December shape up and hopefully we can coordinate something. :)

Yeah, I’d have liked to see you all. Oh well, maybe next time. I’ll keep an eye out for December dates, but as I’ve said before: it’s highly unlikely I’ll make it to a winter meet-up.

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
I'll be there for this.

It so happens that I'm currently living within five minutes walk of the Yard but our sublet ends next week and the next apartment isn't nearly as close.

The Lees Oct 8th 2017 1:41 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Mr. Lee and I should be able to make this one.

SchnookoLoly Oct 10th 2017 2:14 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Excellent! (Just back from holiday so catching up on posts!)

Looking like a decent turnout so far! :)

SchnookoLoly Oct 16th 2017 5:59 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Okay so just taking stock of how things are shaping up for Friday as I want to call tomorrow for a reservation:

Me & Mr Schnooks
JamesM
HGerchikov
Garethr +1 plus maybe the Mrs
Piff Poff + daughter?
Jerseygirl + Jerseyboy?
DeanN
Mr & Mrs Lee

So that's 9 confirmed and 5 maybes.

Anyone else? Excited for this one! :)

I've been keeping out of this thread as I don't know what my timetable is like for Friday. I'm probably at a 50% chance of making it out for this... would be good to catch up with everyone if I can make it!

Looks like I will be able to head out for the evening.

Sorry you're not going to be able to grace us with your presence, Piff, that's a pretty poor excuse on your part, to come all the way to Ontario but not make it the last 30km or so to stagger through the doors of the Yard ;) I'm not sure we could manage Mario Kart, but I reckon we could configure the tables in the Library to make a passable beer pong battleground.

Looking forward to a good session with everyone else.

The more the merrier!

I should be there in my normal 6-630ish kind of window.

JamesM Oct 20th 2017 3:31 am

Re: Toronto Meetup - Friday 20 October
 
Yeah I'm on course for 6. I have to drop something work related at the Apple Store (Eaton Center) and then heading over.

Double boo on both of you.

Next time. :) Hopefully Jan-Feb (though I will not be making that one...!).
