Anyone interested in a meetup ?
Possibly. Did you have a day/time in mind? And place? We can see how many are interested here or I can send out an email blast.
I would like to go to a PLUG Mug. We could meet inside the Tim Hortons on the Monaghan road plaza this Thursday at 2 pm?
Forecast shows rain that day but we would be inside.
I would be interested, and I am presently free on Thursday afternoon.
Thursday July13 at 2 is good for me!
Hi Folks:
Long time since I checked in. Glad to see my login still works. Is this typically the time and place where you have meet-ups? Do you still have monthly meetings?
Paul
Hi Paul, nice to hear from you.
We don't have a typical time/day or place for a PLUG Mug meetup, anymore. A meetup occurs when one of us gets around to posting on the Forums, about possibly, having a meetup.
We no longer have monthly meetings, since COVID kept the retirement residence meeting room closed to the public. I don't think we have enough PLUG members to be able to pay for a monthly meeting room.
regards
Bill
So are we on for tomorrow?
Thanks for the Information.
Laurie and I will aim to be there at 2:00 PM on Thursday.
Paul
Ok, looks like there will be 5 people for the PLUG Mug meetup.
See you at the Tim Hortons on Monaghan at 2 pm tomorrow (Thursday). :-) I will be bringing my 13" Dell XPS notebook computer.
see you there!!

Sorry I'll miss you Paul, but Marilyn and I have appointments that will take us into the afternoon. And then after that I have to rake two neighbours lawns - they're littered with Mint system backups.
Don't worry it's not a serious problem. I put them in one of our compost bins and in this warm weather they shrink down quickly.
No guarantees as my wife has medical needs so I sometimes have to cancel plans but I'll try to get there. I think Lansdowne Place would be less crowded but I'll see what it's like tomorrow (Thursday). I'm still trying to avoid crowded places especially those where I won't be wearing a mask.
I am inside Tim Hortons, now.

If you get this soon enough say hi to everyone. Just got home.
We had a very nice meetup yesterday afternoon, inside the Tim Horton's on Monaghan road.
There was Brian P, Mike, Paul and Laurie and myself.
I believe it was after 4 pm when we finished. It was great seeing and talking with PLUG members, in person, again.
We agreed we should meet up again in about a months time.
Did many show up? Was the restaurant busy at that time of day?
Btw, hi Paul. It's good to see/read you again. I generally don't delete user accounts unless they're bot or spam registrations. The accounts that have disappeared are because the user cancelled their accounts.
Regarding regular meetings... I have no idea if Applewood has its meeting room open to the public. I stepped down from being President right around the time the pandemic rolled in and we haven't had a regular meeting since.
Bill usually posts about MUGs either online or in-person and I take care of the website. Occasionally, our online meetings have had short presentations. There might be enough interest for regular in-person meetings but someone would have to step up to organize them. After 20+ years of doing it, punctuated by a couple of short-term temporary presidents, I'm pretty much done. :)
We have taken up collections to cover hosting fees and last time around, we received enough donations to host us up until the end of this year. But it's pretty much just the forum. I haven't gotten around to posting the homepage of the website yet after having gone through a major server OS and forum software upgrade a few months back.
