Sounds like a fun idea, and I'd love to join, but I'm in the UK till the 8th of July visiting my parents.

It will be great to have some suggestion to go and see which weekend is good for you.

I second that as I organised that before mainly with members of dpreview. I still have around 20 Pentaxians contact email addresses.

See this link Toronto Feb 11 meetup and Orchid Flower show: Pentax SLR Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review

If I am correct dpreview Pentax forum still has more Torontonians incl GTA . If one of us feel like organising this event let me know so we can pool the email addresses together.

how about a group blog, or face book group, or any other type of those online group creation networks, we can start that and customize it and keep a members list going.

I second that. Just to remind all members that there is a parking fee $10 in addition to the admission ($20)
I would suggest we all meet at say Tim Horton in Scar Town Centre which is TTC accessible . Those who want to join just for the chic chat can come . And the destination , for those who have time to go, could be say the zoo or Guild Inn. For the zoo we should car pool

If I am not mistaken, groups can be created within Pentaxforums.com? Should Adam do that, or any user can create a group? (Any one ever tried that feature?)

Around noon time Sunday I should be ok. But that is a long weekend where a lot of people will take Monday off.

I'm in for the 29th noon. Meet at the Scarbourough Center Tim's? I'll be on the road till thursday and unable to get email/PM's till then. You uy's finalize the plans if you can and get anyone else who's up for this. If you have to change the date to the 5/6 th of July due to the long weekend. Just post the plans here.
