TRIUMF Field Trip - Thursday, June 25, 1:30pm

Sorry for the delay in posting this… but I did arrange for a tour date with my friend that works at TRIUMF.

SO… I’ll edit this list with people that are planning to go… here;

  1. AndrewTilston
  2. mirong
  3. Rob_MacKenzie
  4. RedCardOP
  5. RedCardOP’s friend *
  6. Shane
  7. Shane’s friend *
  8. RandyNW
  9. hectorh
  10. open

*Anyone have an issue with friends-of-VHS-members joining? I don’t. We might be able to run 2 groups on Thursday, in the event we have a lot more interest in the next couple days. I can also likely arrange another date to go (for those that can’t make this date), plus we have @climber in our midst as well who has offered to help with tours. So we have options for overflow!!

Carpooling… looks like I don’t have to plan for each car, but if everyone with cars can make it to VHS at around 1 we’ll easily be able to bring anyone who is sans-wheels :slight_smile:

There are 10 spots with one guide… more and apparently it gets hard for people to hear and see what is being discussed. My friend is a nuclear physicist employed at TRIUMF, so bring out whatever questions you want… it should be an awesome tour. If there are more than 10, I’ll discuss that with him as he mentioned he could likely get another person to help with a second group if one forms.

I am open to picking some people up at VHS… I have a few seats open in my car. Any others that can car pool should indicate that too.

I’ve been looking forward to a tour there for some time! See y’all on Thursday.

Is there a chance they’d be willing to do another later in the summer as well?

Thanks,

Yeah I can’t make the Jun 25 date, but would really like to attend.

Count me in! :slight_smile:
I’d like to carpool; if a 2nd car is needed, I’m offering.

I’ll make it work. I’ll be leaving from Burnaby, can return somebody back to Burnaby

Definitely would love to come. Do you mind putting me down for your carpool @AndrewTilston . If not I can get there by bus but would appreciate it!

I’d like to go too! I’m also interested in carpooling from VHS, but can bus if there isn’t room.

I have another friend (non-VHS member) who is interested? Do you think we can make this open to non-members or will it fill up soon with interested members?

You can add me to the list too, if there’s space. I also have a car and can get people to/from VHS. Should be a great tour - thanks for organizing this, Andrew.

Count me in!! I will be driving from VHS as well. I can take 4 others.

Trying to get the time cleared - any idea how long the tour is expected to be?

The trip should be 1.5 hours, 2 hours tops.

Cost on the tour: Zero moneys.

I’m sure we can arrange something like that!

Please add my name to the list!

Over the summer, there are regular public tours every weekday at 1:00 PM. See:
http://www.triumf.ca/home/for-public/tours-triumf

Regrettably, I will have to miss the TRIUMF tour, as I have been
scheduled to work today.

I also have to miss out tomorrow, I have meetings all afternoon :cry:

Sorry to hear you guys can’t come! I guess that means there are 2 open spots for the tour now. See you guys at 1pm (or earlier) at VHS. :slight_smile:

I’m coming on the tour and I have room in my car for 1 person who is not allergic to dogs/cats (my car is normally used to transport pets).
