Most of you guys have jobs, so I am guessing weekdays are out. How about a weekday evening get together or a Saturday/Sunday lunch?
Nov 17 maybe available
Nov 24, 25 ok
Dec 8, 9, 15, 16 ok

almost every weekday is ok too

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

I'm pretty flexible as well.

Saturdays would be better. But a Friday evening could work out just fine.

 

[bearberry]

Does this Saturday work?

OK, looks like no more responses are going to come in.
How does this Saturday at 11:45 work?
Location tbd.

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Move it to one thirty and I can make it.

 

[multisync]

sounds good. Mark can join us for dessert.

John

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Desert !

No problem there.

 

[bearberry]

Just avoiding lunch hour...

...so it's easier to get seated.
Does 1:15 work for everyone? (What do you want to drink, Mark? 😉

 

[PierreQuiRoule]

Hi guys. I will stop by. Since I am parenting that day, I will have eaten and therefore will join you for desert - satisfying my sweet tooth. See you around 13:15. At Mario's I presume.
Cheers - Pierre

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Great!

I sent out a few direct heads up notices.

I think sometimes the email notifier thingy does not work out so well.

 

[DDF]

I'll be daddy taxi for basketball but I should be able to drop in for a liquid bite to eat as well

Saturday at Marios?

Thanks,

Dave

East Side Mario's on Hunt Club is the "OFFICIAL" restaurant for the annual diy ottawa user group planning meeting location.

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Yep.

Hi Guys,

My apologies... it turns out we had a trip to Cornwall planned for tomorrow so I won't be able to make it to the lunch.

Please do let me know what you all decide to do for the next meet, and I'll be sure to set the date aside!

Cheers,
Owen

Hi, guys

Unfortunately, I didn't notice this thread until Mark sent me the link with his PM today. Most of my Saturday 24th is already planned out... at least until about 4 p.m., when I'll be at the opposite end of the city... so I will not be able to make it.

I can mention that I/we don't have any trips (or other significant commitments) planned for 2013, so I'm flexible about when our next meeting gets scheduled. I'm thinking I have to add a table saw from Kijiji to my Christmas list, so that I can get around to building some speaker cabinets... but right now, I don't have any DIY builds to show off. But I'd still love to see what others have done.

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Well we has a good meeting, and came up with a few possible ideas as to when we could do a 2013 meeting. Pierre is looking into a few possible dates.

 

[multisync]

Ron I just moved my saw to the back of the garage so we could get another car into the garage. Swept the floor of sawdust and crap and moved a lot of junk into the basement for the winter. It's on wheels so if you want to cut some wood, you can come over and cut to your hearts content.

 

[DDF]

Hi guys,

Sorry I couldn't make it but an emergency came up that had me buried in sawdust all day (not speakers unfortunately).

Hello I am a new member and live about 4 hours north of Ottawa. I am building my first pair of speakers Small Thors from used Thor drivers. I would be interested in possibly attending the ottawa DIY fest if you are going to do it again. I dont know if my speakers will be finished and I dont have a warm place to paint them. but we get to Ottawa from time to time and I would like to see what other DIYers are doing. It would be nice to here the Ariels. I have read so much about them.
