Hi Mandy!

If the time/date you choose fits in with my shift work, I'd love to come!

Janet (from Sidney)

I'd love to meet folks from this forum! Like Janet I work shifts but would certainly give it a try. Let's see how many responses we can get!

Lynn in Victoria

You'll likely get more responses if you pick a place, date and time to start with...

Or you can try the
http://atkinsdiet.meetup.com/
where I'm signed up (and there are 3 others though I don't know their names yet)...

The basic 'meetup' sign-on is free and it provides a central location place to leave comments on a board, automatically tries to set up a meet (by email) about monthly, and keeps track of suggested local locations...

The meetupPlus has a cost but it's not necessary to take advantage of this handy little service.

You are probably tight Lynn..maybe if you and Janet could let em know what your shifts are, we can find a mutual time? I'm on maternity leave still, so my time may be a bit more flexible.

And I'm one of those other three ppl in the atkins meetup for this area!

Mandy

How does August 27th at Milestones at the harbour for lunch sound?

I have a couple of other low carbers form another board interested too

let me know asap.. wehavemail~shaw.ca

Mandy

Sorry, working all day Friday. Maybe next time.

Lynn

Working Day. Doesn't work for me either.

Why not use either a POLL here (easy to set up on a thread like this one) OR use the Atkins Meetup if you're already a member, get those other interested people to sign up too, either here or there?

Hiya VancouverIsland'ers
Weekday lunches aren't too doable for me either, but while I have ya'll here, just wanted to mention (in case no-one posted this - just been open about 6 weeks or so) that I found a new low carb store in Sidney. It's right on Beacon Avenue, I guess you call that building the Cannery? just before you hit the fish wharf thingie - store faces north. He's got some nice products there. It's called the Sugar-Free Depot.
IslandGirl, remember I was asking you about where one could find Jones' sugar free sodas? He's got some - I've got the ginger-ale and black cherry.. verrrry nice!

Greetings, all VIslanders!

There are 6 of "us" now set up at the (free version) of the Atkins Diet Meetup organizer online! (and we know who we are).

I've set up a POLL to see if anyone has some possibilities for Saturday the 18th of September through to Friday the 24th. Just to try and scope out the different scheduling needs.

I've also set up a "default" meeting of the first Saturday of every month, at 1 pm. This allows an easy RSVP to an email reminder the online organizer will send out. Also get the option to vote on a list of possible meeting places.

Couldn't be easier...hope to see a few more of you Low Carbers come out of the woodwork and say hi.

http://atkinsdiet.meetup.com/7/ <--- this is the place!

No pressure!

Hi there,

I'm one of the six already signed up for atkinsmeetup...Saturdays won't work for me...think I sent you an email to that effect...I have three kids, so busy on weekends with their activities for the most part. Of the times listed in your poll, only Thursday or Friday evenings works for me.

Sue hope we can make something work.

Mandy

Group, I've had some massive failure on the meetup.com website and technical support still hasn't got me reconnected.


Please do Email/contact me there at meetup.com or PM me here if there's anything happening...

I'd sure like to get together and actually say hi somewhere between October 22nd and 31st, preferably for an informal lunch.

I'm in Victoria too! Did you ever manage to get together? If not, count me in when you do. I work 8-4:30 weekdays downtown.

Julie

Nope. Doesn't seem to be enough interest to actually find a good time for a 'majority'.

Hi All,
I too am on Vancouver Island .... Campbell River and would love to meet up.
I have been doing LC since January and Loving it.
If you set a date I will love to join you. Victoria is so nice .
