Lunch location ideas for our team (cluster) lunches.

Default rendezvous times and locations

If meeting downtown: We normally meet at 11:45AM at the Goldwin Smith/ Lincoln Hall TCAT bus stop.

  • Being on time is good, since there are 2 buses that come by shortly after 11:45

If meeting so a car is required: Bez arranges the Astro van!
