Hey there - I should be able to make time that week. 

I work out in Westhill, so mid/late afternooon would be good  - 3/4 pm. 
Alternatively, if you wanted you could come to the hacklab on a Tuesday night, which is typically our social night, and engage with the various regular faces that show up!

Cheers,
DH
