I can at least initiate something for Sydney's North Shore. For convenience, how about somewhere in Chatswood? Preference for lunch time or evening? Looking for expressions of interest and suggestions. Anything else?

      CBD or inner west.

    • scotty on 20/11/2017 - 11:24

      Just in case others have missed it, Sydney CBD meetup is now in its own thread.

  • Findo on 04/11/2017 - 15:35

    Yes! Let’s have a discounted fast food feast!

  • Peck on 04/11/2017 - 17:07

    Groupon?

  • bargainswarrior03 on 04/11/2017 - 17:54

    lolll

    What freebies do we get for turning up?

    • ihbh on 05/11/2017 - 14:26

      Don't you get enough from OZB already?

      There might be a small subsidy from OZB towards the celebrations, depending on numbers.

      • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2017 - 13:52

        From OzB or from the deals posted by the OzB community? I get free ads from OzB because I’m kind enough to let them be there, for Scotty’s sake, costs him a fortune to keep me sinbinned >.<

  • SydneySwan on 05/11/2017 - 21:33

    Chatswood sounds fine to me. Prefer lunch on the 27th. Not a great fast food fan but happy to put my preferences aside for a day.

  • cola2002 on 08/11/2017 - 17:55

    Chatswood sounds good, are babies allowed?

    • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2017 - 13:54

      Nurse Nancy no like cry babies, unless they real babies.

      • cola2002 on 27/11/2017 - 13:24

        What's nurse Nancy?
        Lol
        Oh well baby's sick anyway :( can't make it
        Shame she loves ramen noodles too

    Edit: Oops, I meant to post in the announcement thread, not this North Shore thread. Sorry guys.

    Does it have to be held on the 27th? Microsoft is having its free "Tech Summit" from 16th to 17th November at ICC Sydney. https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/techsummit/sydney

    No need for OzBargain sponsorship as a continental breakfast, lunch and coffee breaks will be provided, and snacks with beer and wine will be available at the "Ask the Experts Reception" on Thursday. Simply register for the event, show up in your OzBargain T-shirt, eat and drink, party outside the hall, and wait for the grog to come out.

  • JoelGibbo on 15/11/2017 - 12:08

    What's the latest on date and time for this meet-up? Looking forward to it

  • pennypincher98 on 16/11/2017 - 20:46

    Chatswood lunch time sounds great!

    Where are we going to find a spot in Chatswood that isn't already going to be full though?

  • tysm on 17/11/2017 - 09:45

    I'd be interesting in meeting up dependent on date/time chosen. Also love the idea of something interactive like a treasure hunt as mentioned above.

  • ckcc44 on 17/11/2017 - 13:38

    Prefer in Chatswood and will be better if it is in the evening

  • Jabberwocky on 17/11/2017 - 15:53

    any chances of holding it in the city or Chatswood finalised already ?

    • SydneySwan on 17/11/2017 - 15:59

      This is the North Shore Meetup. You are in the wrong forum.

      • Jabberwocky on 17/11/2017 - 16:08

        I could see only one thread for Sydney catchup and it was this.

  • Tuttorix on 17/11/2017 - 20:15

    27th of November sounds good to me for Chatswood. Any specific cuisine chosen yet?

  • snapper on 17/11/2017 - 22:41

    I work in Chatswood Tue-Fri so I won't be able to make it. Happy Bday OzB

  • DauntingEarth on 18/11/2017 - 10:26

    Chatswood has nice foodcourt i think that would make a good place

    • johhny on 19/11/2017 - 14:59

    why are we having it in North Shore :-(… all tight-arses are in western Sydney.

    • scotty on 20/11/2017 - 11:27

      Around Parramatta area? Feel free to create a western Sydney meetup thread.

    I've done some research and found that for many of the eating places, Monday is the least busy day of the week for them (some restaurants close on Monday), so Nov 27 is a good day to hold it. However, to fit 25+ people together won't be easy. Perhaps we can have a small table and then have people who turn up later sitting where there is space.

    The alternative is that we hire a function room say in Chatswood RSL which costs in the hundreds of dollars and that's before the food and drink.

    1. How does say catching up at, say, Ippudo in Chatswood Interchange at around 1-3pm sound? It's easy for people to hop off the train and they are a small shop place in November.

    2. Another alternative is to catch up in the Chatswood Westfield or Chase food court as suggested above. Not very upmarket but hey, this is an OZB get together after all.

    • iChopstick on 20/11/2017 - 23:10

      Maybe add a poll to assist with head count?

    • MathNerd on 27/11/2017 - 17:41

      they are a shop small place

      This is music to my ears whenever I go to a place to eat at / meet people :)

  • iChopstick on 20/11/2017 - 23:08

    Mon 27th sounds good. I have 1 hours to pop over from North Ryde and back, so somewhere quick would be good :)

  • johhny on 21/11/2017 - 07:37

    Can it go for like an hour longer? Cause I want to come but I won't be able to.

  • ihbh on 23/11/2017 - 13:04

    Poll added to determine numbers.

    PS: I've been informed that Scotty will be making an appearance.

    • scotty on 24/11/2017 - 07:27
      +4

      I will be there. Depending on the number of people coming I might just pick up the bill? I am just afraid that if I advertise it as free meal the place is going to be ozbargained.

      Must RSVP (vote on the poll above & comment below) to be part of it, ie cannot just turn up on the day.

      • SydneySwan on 24/11/2017 - 08:51

        Have voted above and confirming attendance here.

        Given that it is 6.30 Sunday evening and there are only 4 confirmed acceptances, can you confirm whether it is still going ahead tomorrow?

      • johhny on 26/11/2017 - 18:49

        Will I be able to get a shirt, like maybe buy one? But I will be late like around 3:35

  • Hogg on 26/11/2017 - 11:20

    I like Chatswood as the location but date and time is out of the question for me because of work.

  • iChopstick on 26/11/2017 - 22:45

    Can Scotty or ihbh confirm this is still happening tomorrow? What time is everyone turning up?

    • scotty on 26/11/2017 - 23:05

      According to ihbh's PM, yes it is still going ahead. I will try to be on time at 1PM.

      • iChopstick on 26/11/2017 - 23:49

        Awesome, I'll try pop in around that time too

  • lyl on 26/11/2017 - 23:54

  • AHUANG on 27/11/2017 - 00:11

    Thanks to all the members who attended OZB's 11th Birthday Sydney North Shore Meetup in Chatswood today and Scotty for shouting us to lunch and providing tshirts.

    Here's a pic (https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/22732/54251/img_3156.j…) of some of the attendees. That's Scrooge McDuck's legs if you're wondering (good to meet you mate, and looking forward to your comments when you get back into it).

    Any help but wonder which is Scotty and who is the gentlemen on the left who is of a slightly different demographic to the rest haha

    • ihbh on 27/11/2017 - 19:36

      Scotty's one of the guys wearing the OZB tshirt - you have to guess the colour. The bloke on the left is Sydney Swan.

      • cola2002 on 28/11/2017 - 08:10

        Black shirt one?
        Looks like he's got a bag to put the goodies (ozbargain shirts) in

        • JuryWheel on 28/11/2017 - 09:07

          agree

        • ihbh on 28/11/2017 - 23:16

          @cjb: Correct. Scotty's in the black OZB tshirt with his arms folded.
