Unfortunately, once again, due to COVID-19 restrictions, it was not feasible to have a meeting in person at TRIUMF this year. We were able to connect virtually (via ZOOM) with some 42 members to renew our friendships, keep in touch with recent developments at the lab, select our executive members for the next year, and address other issues of interest to TARA members.
Below follows two screenshots of many of those present. I hope they include most of the attendees and apologize for any that were missed.

TARA Nov 3rd 2011 AGM
23 Members attended the Annual General Meeting. Both the formal (see AGM minutes) and informal parts were held in the TRIUMF (Hot Spot) cafeteria. Snacks and drinks were provided gratis by TRIUMF. A free copy of the 1970-1974 video about the construction of the 500 MeV Cyclotron was distributed to the TARA members (and will be mailed to the remaining members - on request- that were not in attendance). The full (~55min) video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1Orq4zBFLI while a shortened version ( ~15min) is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aLFafTU3SY and for those who may someday want to see the 2 hr raw version at http://youtu.be/M4sMxpoJ5dk or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4sMxpoJ5dk&feature=youtu.be
July 28/2011 TRIUMF Summer Barbecue
Approximately 20 TARA members (including their partners)were in attendance. There was no charge for the barbecue which includes 2 alcoholic drinks. The event was held in the cafeteria courtyard and on a blocked off area in front of the main office building. Watching our youth (almost everyone else these days!) tossing/catching water balloons at ever increasing distances; who was quickest at eating/swallowing a donut hanging on a string; who was fastest at running with a raw egg at end of a spoon in ones mouth; were all fun to watch. Photos and Video clips of some of the events are shown below. Video clips at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvglNGzSNmQ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bgDmkfL3dw
July 6/2011 TARA/TUG Meeting
The Annual General Meeting of the TRIUMF Users Group (TUG) was held on Wednesday, July 6, 2011 (9:00 to 17:00) in the TRIUMF Auditorium. This meeting was followed by a BBQ Social in the TRIUMF Hot Spot Cafe& Courtyard. To encourage TARA members to take advantage of the opportunity to meet old friends and to learn more about TRIUMF as it is now and its exciting prospects for the future, TRIUMF Management subsidized the cost of TARA members' registration for this event - charging only $10 for the BBQ Social.
