Meet ups are around 9:30pm.
Normally after I finish work, I go home, feed the dogs and go about getting dinner (cooking at home or eating out). By the time I'm finished it's about 8:30pm, so I head out soon after.
It also gives people time that finish retail jobs around 8:30pm-9:00pm.
Winter months have always had reduced numbers because of the temperature. Would be nice if we could find a warm place to meet up.
Another thing is if the "regulars" stop showing up, the meet normally dies until they come back.
