The problem with weekends there (especially afternoons) is that the place is *packed*. I mean one can literally have to wait well over an hour just to get inside...

ve2vfd · 03-05-2009, 04:20 AM

Is it really that bad on weekends?

I haven't been there in years so I don't know.... I guess I could always make this friday March 13th. It's my next day off work, but I figures more people would be free on a weekend?

What do you guys think?

**ManuH** · 03-05-2009, 07:03 AM

I had the same idea as you to go there, have a small meeting and go shooting.

RBellavance is right, on week-end it can be a bit packed, that's why I was thinking to go there early in the morning. They open at 9am. A sunday at 9am should be OK with not too many people. Of course there is no guarantee that it won't be packed but we have more chances that way I think.

ve2vfd · 03-05-2009, 08:33 AM

Sunday morning 9am sounds good to me!

If the place packs up too much, we can always move on to the bibitte-arium (insectarium) as the admission ticket includes it...

Sunday march 15th at 9:00 sounds good to me. And good idea for the "plan B".

Not for me... cannot attend on those dates! :-(

Sounds good to me too. I would bring also my father-in-law a newly converted pentaxian (bought my K10D).

Do you have any other suggestion? For sure it's difficult to get everybody at the same place same time, but we can try.
