Dinner at McCabe's Kitchener

Meeting Date

2022-12-19T19:00:00

Some KWLUG members are enthusiastic about getting together in person, and so have organized a dinner meeting at McCabe's Irish Pub and Grill in Kitchener, starting at 7pm. This is a supplementary informal meeting; we will still hold virtual meetings for technical topics.

The address is 352 King Street West, Kitchener, ON, near King and Francis streets.

You can probably just show up, but the organizers would find it helpful if you RSVPed to dinner@kwlug.org .

Important Update: We recently underwent a somewhat involuntary server upgrade for our BigBlueButton instance. For now the meeting link for Monday's meeting remains https://webconference.kwlug.org/room/kwlug . However, there is some chance that things will blow up with the upgraded platform, in which case we will make other plans and publish them here. If you cannot get into the meeting on Monday via the usual link then please check this page.
