I propose we meet here in Ottawa to look at starting a LUG.
The agenda will be simple, first we introduce ourselves, then we talk, eat some
food, talk some more, show off a few MOC's, decide if we want to meet again. We
can begin the process of picking a name too.
OK, the next thing we need is a time and a place. I propose a Friday evening
and the location to be a restaurant (so nobody has to cleanup, at least those
not getting paid :-)
Me, I live in the Eastend near Blair and Ogilvie. I figure we can meet either
east or west of Downtown in the former City of Ottawa (After all it is easier
to park than Downtown itself). We should also keep it close to the Queensway in
case we wanna go shopping. :-)
The restaurant should have a wide selection of food to accomodate varying
tastes and should not be too expensive i.e. about $7.00 or $8.00 for a
hamburger platter or club platter. Also I prefer if they don't have a
drive-thru. :-)
How about something near Playvalue? What restaurants are out there?

G'day Jude,
This might be of help to Ottawa folks in general..., On Slater
just East of Bank there is a large multilevel parking complex.
I think it also has an entrance off Albert as well. Anyhow, anytime
after peak business time the lot is open for free parking. I
have always used this lot whenever I've gone downtown. It puts
you within walking distance of anything in the downtown core, plus
the Market, etc. And it's right on the Transitway.

I don't know a lot of restaurants outside of the west end, but isn't there
a Swiss Chalet like a block from Playvalue. My memory is vague, but I think
it's in the shopping plaza immediately north of the 417 right at the corner
of Carling and Kirkwood. I'll check if I get time in the next day or two.

I Just phoned Playvalue and the the first restaurant they named was also the
Swiss Chalet. Your memory may be vague but it is correct. :-)
I also asked if they had any objections on bringing a group to the store and
they were very receptive. :-) (Maybe in the future we could do a display or
something, ok, I am getting ahead of myself :-)
So how does this Friday sound? Supper at the Swiss Chalet followed by a visit
to Playvalue...

This Friday would be fine with me, but the other people who've responded
here seem to be reading the newsgroup days after our posts, so should we
wait for their responses, or maybe email them directly?

Email directly, I know Sean and Alicia do not always follow this group daily.
So how about 6 pm that sounds safe what do you think?

I can't commit on the dinner at 6 yet, but I certainly can show-up in PlayValue
after 7:30. They close at 8 or 9 on Friday, right?

I got the OK that my wife would be back in time from work to look after
our son, so I'll be there for 6pm.
Are you emailing the Sean and Alicia? I hope so, because I didn't yet.
Anyways, we'll see you at Swiss Chalet then, and Kay-On at Playvalue.
TTYL. Play well.
