New date this coming Monday March 12th

All this discussion around town hall meetings mods and admin maybe important but in TPMG the rubber hits the road when we have the real life events. These events are what started TPMG and to my mind the heart of TPMG. Yet we have been neglecting the health of the heart.

I think it would be useful for photographers to get together and brainstorm around holding events. Consider it as a photographers event support meeting {PESM for short) 8)

You might have a great idea for a event but you might need advise or help putting it on. Just think what events we could do if we supported each other in our efforts.

I know this is short notice for most people but I thought it was important to counter balance all these discussions around the structure of TPMG, don't worry if you can't make it if there is interest I hope there will be more PESMs.

The meeting will be from 6:30 to 7:45 at the java house 537 Queen St. W small block west of spadina. For that many people they only take cash and sorry no separate bills.

I'll be house hunting.
Sadly, that has priority.

There is still a ghost in the machine that has made the registration list vanish. Patience until Tim figures it out and I can repost.

I hope people can make it.

The meeting if I can figure out the sign up list will be from 6:30 to 7:45 at some local downtown coffee shop TBD

You mean March don't you?

Do you think we could push it to 7 or 7:30 to allow some members some time after work. It might be a bit of a hustle to make it down if someone works outside of downtown.

I was thinking the other way - people working in town and living in the burbs wanting to get home for dinner. Before changing maybe we should wait and see if others prefer later?

Hey Ryan
Could we please get a location for this sometime today as I don't have access to the internet during the day at work.
Thanks.
Maureen

Ryan,
Thanks for putting this together.
It was good to talk about putting actual things together with folks and hearing other feedback and ideas, something that I've never seen done in my time here.
Thanks to everyone who made it out and contributed their time, effort and patience, I think lots of good can come from this and further action.

Thank you for hosting it Ryan! A very good meeting indeed. The passion and enthusiasm for the board & photography was great to see. Cockle warming. It was very productive and we're already working on things to be phased in and/or fleshed out and implementing many of the juicy ideas.
