SYD Meetup - Wednesday 20th November 2024 @ Long Chim

[DejaBrew]

Voting for dates and suggestions for venues appears to have slowed again, so I'm going to make an executive call (in my capacity as the person who started this thread ) that the date of choice is November 20th. I'm also going to suggest that Thai has been getting a bit more love in the responses thus far, so I propose that we do Long Chim (given it's the most CBD-centric of the Thai options and that appears to be preferred by the group).

So let's try for 7pm, Wednesday November 20th @ Long Chim.

Please reply in thread re: your attendance status:

• Platinum, Confirmed
• Gold, Likely
• Silver, Considering
• Bronze, Can't make it

Thread 'SYD Meetup - Wednesday 20th November 2024 @ Long Chim'

Oct 21, 2024

During last weekend's AFF Gathering #17, it came up in discussion that there isn't often much in the way of meetups in SYD (as opposed to the regular get-togethers that we see in some other locations). Looking back through the recent history of meetings & social events, it seems like there have only been 2 or 3 meetups dating back to 2022!

So... is anyone else interested in helping to remedy this situation via a November meetup for dinner? I've set up a poll to take votes on potential dates, but if you want to propose any others, please vote and comment accordingly. Happy to take...

To all those who can go on the 20th enjoy.

Im bronze (aka a definite no) as I play pub trivia on Wednesdays. I will keep an eye out for future meets which are hopefully on a different night.

I’d like to try and make this a more regular thing and aim more for Fridays or Saturdays in the future. But hey, we’ve gotta start somewhere.

Color me Silverish Gold for now! I used to (about 7-10 years ago) organise a few Sydney dinners but then got lazy....

I'm Golden (depending on work that day). It will be my first AFF meeting, I assume that fine?

Organising dinners is very organic. Generally, organise one and they will come.

Is that like "build it and they will come?"

Absolutely!! You're most welcome to come along

Platinum. Perfectly timed for my return from BNE to HBA.

 

[tdimdad]

A strong silver - pale gold. Somewhere in between. Just like my VA status.

I'm not sure whether ill be going yet, but for location perhaps one of the korean BBQ joints? Those tend to do pretty well for sizeable groups and solid food.

Long Chim was already chosen as the location

Thanks for the suggestion. Could certainly consider that for a subsequent meetup

I am a solid bronze as I am in Spain for most of November. Interested in future meetings.
