Update: Facebook Event Page:

  • Date: 9 December
  • Time: 6PM
  • Venue: Adelaide Botanic Park

We have tried it before but couldn't get it organised.

We have to do it now for the 11th Birthday with $500 to spend.

Ideas are well, I'd say we make it all ages as we have previously had trouble getting people to come.

2 Ideas at the moment

Picnic in the Park with Dominoes and maybe backyard cricket

X-site Gaming Mount Barker

Any suggestions appreciated.

We have $500 to spend.

That can buy us

100 Pizzas from dominoes if we can organise some sort of deal.

If we could get 25 people that would be ideal.

      I personally wouldn't be a fan of Mcdonalds.

      Not sure how others feel.

    • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:32

      We'd have to wear hats at a Maccas party. If you can get free coffee vouchers (is there any such thing tho?), could do drive through on the way to our get together and bring coffees. I'm sure they'd taste great if they were free

    Will we have to disclose our Ozbargain ID?

      I'm going to tell everyone I'm Scotty and then ban them on the spot.

      Just show a few Eneloops or a set of noise cancelling headphones and you're in!

      • pennypincher98 on 19/11/2017 - 15:02

        Everyone just wear your #tietheknot shoelaces and you'll be part of the gang :)
        No one can miss you in bright yellow shoelaces lol

  • alz on 16/11/2017 - 12:10

    Do people live in Adelaide?

    • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 12:10

      There are a few.

    • ChrisLevo on 16/11/2017 - 12:22

      Only discerning people of taste.

    • Scab on 16/11/2017 - 12:25

      Not anymore, not after they ran out of electricity.

      • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:33
        +4

        We've got electricity. We're just saving it for a rainy day

      Didn't you know that you need a special invitation to live in Adelaide. We're special… In a good way 😊

      • Scab on 16/11/2017 - 14:36

        I think you're special, Mishy.

        • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:37

          Aaawww, thanks Scab

        • Scab on 16/11/2017 - 14:38

          @MishyMoo:

          @Scab: Get a room you two!

        • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:51

          @alz:
          So many NSW people in this Adelaide room.

          We're 'close', here in Adelaide.

          Maybe you guys are jealous cos you don't live here… Never mind… Can't top Port Stephens. That's like heaven compared to most places

    i live down south, happy to get something done down here!

    • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 13:23

      Same, what suburb?

      • Unrvl on 16/11/2017 - 13:35

        port noarlunga, you?

        • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 13:41
          +1

          Seaford Meadows.

          Would be happy to have it anywhere south of the city or the City. If it is down North due to demand though I'd still go I think especially if I get this up and running.

          @treeman: lol you guys are basically my neighbours…..party at colonnades….

    • Cleremy on 27/11/2017 - 18:38

      Western suburbs could be an equitable choice. Plenty of Surf Lifesaving Clubs and Hotels to choose from.

    4 pizzas per person, nice.

    • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:34

      Are you going to find your socks for our get together, or are you over it by now? 😊

  • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:28

    Pizza picnic down south sounds good to me, unless Hamza wants us to go to his place 😊

    How about Sunday 3rd Dec, around midday? Weather forecast says sunshine on that day (go figure)

    • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 16:53

      I'm happy with that.

      • Scab on 17/11/2017 - 10:12

        You just want to hit on Mishy.

    • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 14:53

      This time I did click. It's expired. Get it to keep the seagulls away. Do they eat pigs?

      • MishyMoo on 18/11/2017 - 11:47

        Thai would make pigs fly, right!?

  • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 15:29

    I checked with Scotty on the main Celebration page to see if we could get a Concession if we don't get 25 people (as there are only a handful of tightarses in Adelaide (apparently, and so far) .

    We can still have the party of course, but we still need 25 peeps for the $500.
    How many kids and grandkids are you bringing!? 😊

    • Cheap Charlie on 16/11/2017 - 15:39
      +2

      Just organise for 24 of your mates to meet you at the pub, $500 on the bar courtesy of Scotty.
      $20 each to spend on Passion Pop.

      Best deal on OZB all year

      • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 18:20

        Any reason why you can't fly down for that weekend, CC? 😊

          Just sent Scotty a message, maybe I can hitch a ride on his private jet 🤪

        • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 22:03

          @Cheap Charlie:
          I don't think that Scotty is the private jet type. He's much more 'grounded' 😊😊.
          He may know of some electronic gadget than can just transport you here tho.

    In! There'll be beers… Right? :)

    • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 21:48

      We don't have that much money!

      • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 22:04

        We won't have any money if we can't scrape up 25 OzBargainers

        • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 22:09

          Not true we just won't get $500

        • MishyMoo on 16/11/2017 - 22:20

          @treeman:
          OK, good… Do you have some inside info from Scotty?

        • treeman on 16/11/2017 - 22:59

          @MishyMoo:

          Scotty said it in the other thread:

          If you can get 10 it's still a party. Sorry I should emphasis that 25 people is only a requirement to get the maximum funding ($500) from OzBargain.

  • Matt P on 16/11/2017 - 22:54

    Friday 7th of December. $5 espresso martinis at the republic. $500 will cover the first 100!

    I'm down. Are millennials invited? I swear I've never paid for avocado on toast.

    I'm in Modbury and as all true Adelaideian people know that means I've never been South of the city because that's so far away 😋😋.
    I do work in the city, wondering if a meet-up one night after work might work for people? Domino's in Vic Square followed by free tastings at the Central Market?

    • treeman on 17/11/2017 - 09:39
      +1

      Would be happy with that on a warm night could work quite well and at least it's central to everyone so they can get there with public transport if need be.

      I might get a poll going.

  • irenew on 17/11/2017 - 10:04

    Marion Outdoor Swimming Pool weekend pool party … for the publicity they will cater for adults … it on a bus route from the City and a great place for a PARTY.

    • Scab on 17/11/2017 - 10:13

      Nude pool party?

  • Orgazmo on 17/11/2017 - 10:10

    Anything in the CBD or south would be good.

    Thanks Scotty!

    • treeman on 17/11/2017 - 11:02

      Unsolved Mysteries night? ;)

      City would be good

  • Orgazmo on 17/11/2017 - 10:14

    Just a thought…although it's at Craigmore, Gameroom Essentials do parties and unlimited games and also pizza nights.

    http://www.gameroom.com.au/ and also on Facebook (more updated)

    • treeman on 17/11/2017 - 11:02

      I had that thought too, even though it's the other side of town. Being that area it may be hard to get people to go though.

      There is also one in Mount Barker which I suggested but also hard to get to.

  • Birchy on 17/11/2017 - 10:43

    I am in depending on time and location as I live 2 hours north of Adelaide.

      Wonder if they can do it in the timeframe given? Sounds interesting especially if Scotty could throw in $100 for a drink each.

      (lol at this: "The gorgeous Art Deco Sebastyan's Bar enjoys full floor-to-ceiling views of bustling Hindley Street")

      Would be keen if it was on a Friday night. What would we do with the remaining cash?

          You're a stirrer, that's what you are 😊

    • MishyMoo on 18/11/2017 - 11:43

      Great deal!
      I wonder if there's a way to check if we can have a date that we want for this?

      I'm dizzy…. So many things are could do…
      playing cricket, watching Hindley St happenings from some curious glass window at night, eating pizza, drinking beer, going to a park….. 😊

        Thanks!

  • gazza the great on 17/11/2017 - 20:20

    Victoria square on a Sunday sounds good to me. I've got a seniors card, so I get free public transport from Burton. (forever the tight arse!)

  • marcozmitch on 18/11/2017 - 10:51

    It has to be a central location. So Adelaide CBD is likely to be best. Though there could be the option for 2 parties? One CBD and one South?

    • treeman on 18/11/2017 - 11:06

      We can barely see 10 people willing to go.

      • MishyMoo on 18/11/2017 - 11:30
        +3 
          :(

        Suggestion: just decide on the time, date and place, whether peeps need to being anything or not and let the momentum begin. The democratic process may end up all process and no party….

        Perhaps there is a way to find more Ozb people who haven't seen Scotty's offer, or our ideas.

        It took me a few yrs to figure out there were other pages than bargains here
        (yes, I'm a s l o w learner ☺️, Maybe I'm not the only one..?)

        From the poll, the location seems to be the important condition for 8 /10 potential attendees….
        It might be good to remember that you can't please all of the people all of the time…

          Absolutely agree.

  • Wystri Warrick on 18/11/2017 - 11:44

    If it's a cool day (I get heat rash) I'm 100% going.

    I voted for "I will most likely attend depending on location", was a late night vote, at the time I should of voted for the next one down.

    If it's a cool day I'm 120% in :).

      Could be a fungal infection, is it around the pubis area?

  • MishyMoo on 18/11/2017 - 13:05

    If it's a booze party, I'll be bored.
    Now if it's a gadget party… And everyone brought their fave gadget…that would be fun… I could bring my Note 4X with a smashed screen for show and tell, and brag about how I didn't even cry when it happened when the 4X was a baby at 1 week old

    What about Ozbargain Lawn Bowls -

    Very relaxed, fairly good location 1 sausages plus 2 drinks per person. Raffles for fun.
    Plus 3 hours of Lawn Bowls fun.

    https://www.groupon.com.au/deals/payneham-bowling-club-1

    402 Payneham Rd, Glynde SA 5070

    That's less than $5 per person including 2 drinks (Can be beer, wine or soft drink and 1 sausage)
    You can also order extra food from the bar on Saturday nights.

    If it's Sunday afternoon which they also do you can't order hot food but they have chips, chocolates and a few other nibblies available.

    I went twice last year and it was a lot of fun.

    Only issue is the location. I'd be happy to carpool some people from the South as I don't drink.

    This is my decision as it looks like I'm organising. Question is Friday night or Sunday afternoon.

    I'll give you 24 hours to reply with a huge no otherwise I'm starting an event.

    • treeman on 19/11/2017 - 10:40

      They also have $11 meals only Friday if we wanted to do that.

      Hey ozbargaineers

      I can get along to something in the CBD if you choose a time and a date.

      The Hindley Street Party sounds centrally
      awesome and near the train.

      Pencil me in as attending.

    That's a great idea treeman!

    I'm in!

    Have never tried lawn bowls.

    Day may be too hot for Wystri Warwick, so I'm ok for day or night.

    Now we just need a date, some Groupons, and a booking 😊

    • Wystri Warrick on 19/11/2017 - 14:21

      Now we just need a date

      Can I take Scab =) ?

    Balls out on the green with a banga and a beer? Hmmmm, O.K. Haven't done that before , I will come if you can set a date and time.

  • treeman on 20/11/2017 - 15:00

    I've realised the vouchers have expired. Last year they were pretty much up for the whole of Summer so hopefully I can still arrange something.
    I've just sent the venue an email hopefully to get a response soon.

    I'm looking at the 1st or 8th of December.

    • treeman on 20/11/2017 - 15:31

      Nevermind they are still available. But will be checking with host anyway.

  • ntt on 20/11/2017 - 17:26

    I'd love to come, if I don't worry about expose my ass

    • Wystri Warrick on 20/11/2017 - 19:20

      Yeah I feel the same but you don't have to show your Ozbargain badge to anyone, also it'll just be 1 or 2 dozen people there so it's not like the whole Ozbargain community will know your an Ozbargainer :)
