YOW mini-do July 30

With all the discussions surrounding mini-dos, we seem to never get any love in YOW. Therefore, I thought that this would be an opportune time to see if there is any interest to have one here on a Monday or Tuesday after work either Tuesday, July 24, Monday, July 30, Tuesday, July 31 or Tuesday, August 7.

Any of those dates would work for me. Somewhere in the downtown (Ottawa) core would be good - I work on the other side of the river, but live in YOW.

About time for a YOW Do. I will be hanging out in YOW all of July so the dates are fine. I think there was a previous Do held at Milestones but I am OK with ideas

Thanks for organizing this!

I am good with all of those dates and expect to be in town then...

I am in!

All those dates are also good for me (except July 30th). I also work across the river, but Ottawa (free street meter after 17h30...) is good for me too.

That's great news - so let us meet at Side door restaurant (happy hour 4:30pm until 6:30pm) on Tuesday, July 31 at 5:15pm. I will attempt to arrive for 5pm to ensure we get a spot on the patio (weather permitting) or would you prefer to sit inside? YUL, if you park your car on the street around 5pm, it will only cost $1.25 since as you already mentioned the street parking is free after 5pm.

Might be in YOW from YYC around then. I'll watch this space.

Btw - silly question... I'm assuming a "DO" is a meetup of FFers?

It is probably more accurate to say that a do, in the context of this forum, is a gathering of FTers and their guests. Depending on your definition of FFer, there will likely be a mix of FFers and non-FFers. Most (not necessarily the guests) will have a fascination with flying and a curiosity or knowledge about the inner workings of AC.

It is safe to say that, at every do I have attended, there have been folks who, by anyone's definition, would be considered FFers.

I am OK for July 24, or the 30th, but not the 31st nor Aug 7. Can you reconsider the date you picked? If so, I will be there!

It looks like the YOW mini-do is "picking up some steam", with 2 more interested FTers, so to accommodate Antonio and any new interest in the future, let us tentatively set the date for the mini-do for either July 24 & 30. Date will be confirmed a couple of weeks prior.
