Default Calgary/Southern Alberta POTN meet?
Hello all:

How many Southern Albertains would be intersted in meeting up in the Calgary area for a POTN meet? Hell, one day we could hit town then drive out to Banff and shoot around there? I have proposed (if I remember) the idea to Sheldon, but how about anybody else?

Not a bad idea. I think that closer to spring would be better. I think I'm going to be travelling pretty much until then.

Alright! Any other takers? Sheldon - If you're traveling into the city, give me a heads-up, we could always meet up!

This is coming from the man that had to go out and chip the ice off his vehicle last week.

That would be our summer. I missed it last year while taking a nap after shoveling the snow in the driveway.

Maybe we should expand this to any of the members in Alberta

Banff is a great spot for taking photos, I'm in.

PS. Steve last week in Calgary it was 13C or 55F, not bad for mid January!

I would be game to get together. Life is real busy for me, my company does home building and renovations and we are going full out right now, but as I am the boss (shhh... don't tell my wife) I can easily get away with a bit of notice. Send me a note once you all find a time that works for you.

Hi,

A date between 16th and 24th March in Banff, would be great, as I am flying over from the UK to throw myself down a mountain on a snowboard (badly)...

Will be the fifth time I've been in ten years, kinda like the place!!!

Would it be wrong to post a couple (And I mean only a couple) of pics, I took last year from Sulphur Mountain?


Mike
