2012 DT SC meets...opinions please!

I've been wondering what we can do to make the planning of our downtown meets more streamlined, and it occurred to me that we could pick a date for each month, e.g. the 15th (to give us a bit of time to use up in-month expiries), and just stick to that.

Then, everyone would know ahead of time and can plan accordingly in order to be able to attend (or send their stuff with a buddy, if they want to but can't).

It would work around the "I can't make it on Thursdays" or whatever by being day-of-the-week agnostic, and people wouldn't have to vote (or at least not as often - I'm sure the 15th/18th/20th/whatever would get picked would fall on a weekend occasionally, and I doubt that would work for anyone...plus we probably wouldn't be able to get to the RBC food court then either, although I suppose we could pick an alternate venue...maybe Chimmi's! *heehee*).

Thoughts?

I like this idea and I think mid-month is good - it gives ppl a few weeks to use up end of month expiries. I also agree weekends will probably be tricky for ppl as most ppl don't live downtown and more than likely wouldn't want to travel into the city if they didn't have to.

So I guess the question is, do we decide on a numerical date (for example the 15th) or do we just decide on a constant date (like the second tuesday of every month)?

Oh - and can we start a new wishlist for 2012?
:cheesygrin:

And yes, if we can't access RBC we can always use my place.

We can pick 15th of the month and then if it falls on the weekend we push it to the next Monday?

Mid-Month is good for me too!

If we have a new wishlist 2012, who's gonna start it? I nominate Chimmi! :lolsign:

I think we still need to announce when our SC meetups will be. There will some newbies that would be interested to join us!

I'm okay with saying the 15th of every month, and hope that it doesn't fall too often on a Wednesday. ;)

I haven't been coupon hunting, so I have no idea what's out there. So perhaps I shouldn't be the one starting the wishlist thread. :)

Yay!

Yes, I agree - we should still announce it and definitely make a new wishlist thread for 2012 too (maybe put that in the title so people don't bump the wrong one?).

Pix, it makes me sad that you don't love me enough to come in on a Monday...but I guess you love your Burlington couponers more!!

I don't see the Burlington couponers either (or the Hamilton ones) I am busy these days, it would be 2hrs+ in travel time out of my day

15 /16 th work for me.

I think the 16th might work better than the 15th (less days fall on the weekend - only 3)

Anyone else like 16th?

I can start the Wishlist thread once we have all decided upon a date if you would like.

Sure, no problem with it being the 16th for me. I hadn't actually looked at the various dates, just picked one arbitrarily. But mid-month-ish makes sense to me.

Looks like the 16th makes more sense to me.

Actually, when we had the Friday meet, it seemed to me that it worked out quite well - I don't remember anyone needing to rush off to get to something, most people can leave a little early from the office, if they need to, on a Friday...

I have a standing bi-weekly appointment for a massage (as a public service, so I'm not totally snarky all the time, LOL!) but it's easy enough for me to change that as required.

Let's do it!!

I think this looks great - I say this should be the schedule. Who else is in? We should decide asap so that we can prepare for the upcoming meet up :)

All in favour????
