Vancouver area meet and great?

[automizer]

Hello all,
I am just wondering what the interest would be in getting together to meet. I am thinking maybe a nice pub or restaurant, suggestions? Maybe a place with a nice patio enjoy this summer season.

Sounds Good a patio in Kits maybe where the scenery is sure to impress!!!!! If the conversation lags, we can just stare at the passers by!

Well big_mak I like the way you think.
Ah Vancouver; I have yet to find a better place in the world to people watch.

Munich is pretty wicked as the patios just spill out into the streets with no fences and the americans stare at you when you have a half litre of Hefeweizen and some sausage fro breakfast!

Two of the major food groups; cereals and meat. Nothing wrong with that as a breakfast; although not being meat eater I would just stick with the cereal.

How about making your get together a barbeque or something like that at one of the GVRD Regional Parks? I think it is possible to reserve picnic areas for groups.

I'm in.

Let's have some more Vancouverites chime in!!!!

The Fuzz may not appreciate our take on Cereal though!

A kick in the A$$ doesn't really translate on here does it!

Okay, let's tie something down with dates.

I did this for a dinner before WESTEC and it worked, several people turned up and we had a very pleasant evening.

I suggest Campbell Valley Regional Park, September 28, which is a Sunday. It is possible to prebook a group picnic site which I will do. Starting time could be 11:00 am or so and go through into the late afternoon.

I believe that there are facilities for a barbeque at these sites but if necessary I can arrange to bring a barbeque. Alternatively people could just bring some prepared dishes to share.

I can bring at least one 10' by 20' canopy in case the weather is not good.

Family members, 'significant others' (must be politically correct), spouses, wifes, husbands, children, ?, ?, ?, can be included.

The only reason I suggest a date late in September is that I am selfish; I have business commitments in July and August and a vacation starting in August and running into early September.

[big_mak]

I will mark it in my calendar. Are you headed to IMTS Geof? I'll be there hopefully in early september.

Where abouts is that park? Not familiar with it.

If that's too long to wait aut, we could go for a pint or 8 before then as well.

A CNC help group perhaps?
