Hi OzBargain, it's time to show this community that you are not a bot by attending a meet up because who doesn't love free food, drink and hopefully new OzBargain t-shirts!

Details below:
Date and time: 6pm 28 November 2019
Location: Lee's Malaysian (1 Hunter St Sydney)

Some pictures from previous birthday meet-ups to wet your appetite: 11th birthday, 12th birthday, Shopback, Cashrewards

Edit: I've made a booking with the restaurant for 30 people. Will update numbers a few days before if it looks like it'll be drastically different to that. I've also asked for a copy of the menu so will upload that here when I receive it.

You will need to PM me with your order to confirm your spot. We will be taking the first ~60-70 to respond with their order. (I will be visiting Lee's Malaysian to confirm exact capacity.) Thanks!

Edit 3: Hi all, the menu is below. If you have voted attending on this event, please PM me your order to reserve your spot. Thanks! (Any other questions or dietary requirements, please also feel free to PM me.)

      Or at lunch

  • TheMindsetTraveller on 07/11/2019 - 15:29

  • Serathis on 08/11/2019 - 21:04

    Well this event is definitely very popular looks like we'll fill up Lee's Malaysian!

  • sickburn on 08/11/2019 - 22:38

  • sticky8anana on 11/11/2019 - 13:19

    do I need to register or I can just turn up on the day? and can I bring along a fellow bargain hunter?

    • CyberMurning on 11/11/2019 - 13:39

      not too many dude please

  • Reginald7711 on 11/11/2019 - 14:03

    Awesome!

  • Serathis on 11/11/2019 - 17:06

    60 people and counting ! Yikes ! I think we need a larger venue guys?

    • dust on 11/11/2019 - 17:10
      +3

      I'll work with the venue. If we get a lot more signing up we will close registration.

      • Serathis on 11/11/2019 - 17:40

        Thanks for organising !

  • jiayijames on 12/11/2019 - 17:00

  • Resonance on 12/11/2019 - 21:38

    Unless another meetup pops up on the 27th or 29th these are the prizes to be won. If 60 show you'll have a 10% chance of winning ;)

  • Archi on 14/11/2019 - 09:04

      OP said he'll be able to work it out with venue. It's not a very large venue from memory.

      • Archi on 14/11/2019 - 09:40

        hope so.. I don't want someone to miss out.. especially me.. LOL

  • alz on 14/11/2019 - 17:57

    I'll come for the OZB t-shirt. Is it free food?

    • scotty on 14/11/2019 - 22:08
      +2

      t-shirt

      Would be limited supply. I might be able to bring 20-30 shirts to the city.

      free food

      Yup. That's the whole point.

      • alz on 15/11/2019 - 05:51

        OK make sure you bring XXL :)

      • Archi on 15/11/2019 - 09:06

        Would be limited supply. I might be able to bring 20-30 shirts to the city.

        would you able to tell who voted first to attend to get the shirts?

        can offer a pair of hands for extra shirts if needed

  • CyberMurning on 14/11/2019 - 23:40

    Doubt the place can accommodate 79 people…

    Also, I think budget is way bigger than just a bowl of laksa… What else? Something in the middle to share?

  • Chewie on 17/11/2019 - 21:31

    arrgghh! damn it! I'm be presenting at a conference in Melb for the week where almost all the Sydney events are happening…!!

  • Serathis on 18/11/2019 - 10:14

    86 and counting ! yikes!

    • Clear on 18/11/2019 - 13:18

      How many of those will show I wonder?

      • Archi on 18/11/2019 - 15:46

        weeknight after work…i'm guessing a lot..

        • tempura on 26/11/2019 - 20:46

          it's too far; it's in Wynyard …

            @tempura: Meanwhile I'm crossing half the country to attend…

  • jiayijames on 18/11/2019 - 16:27

    So do you do a random draw of say 30 people, out of the 88 so far ??

  • djprima on 19/11/2019 - 16:16

    just saw this thread, too late to join in?

  • phillip-fromoz on 20/11/2019 - 12:24

    Is this session still available? Thanks.

    Hi all, I've updated the original post with the menu. If you have voted attending on this event, please PM me your order to reserve your spot. Thanks! (Any other questions or dietary requirements, please also feel free to PM me.)

    • tajid on 22/11/2019 - 06:30

      My friend and I voted to attend but we will most likely work late that day and now can’t make it.

      We don’t need to do anything right (ie by not sending you pm we are assumed not attending?) As I can’t un-vote myself now.

      • dust on 22/11/2019 - 09:00

        Nope all good. Cheers!

    • phatbirb on 25/11/2019 - 13:14

      Hi Dust, I'm interested in going to the meetup, and I've pmed you. Just wanted to know if it's too late to order thanks.

      • dust on 26/11/2019 - 23:06

        (Send me a PM with your order if you still wanted to come!)

    • blighst on 25/11/2019 - 19:54

      Is there a way to confirm if we have a spot haha?

      • Serathis on 26/11/2019 - 17:17
        +1

        If you dont get a reply message from OP, means you didn't make the cut.

        • blighst on 26/11/2019 - 20:55

          All good - got one ☺

  • dust on 25/11/2019 - 22:12

    Okay I've gone through and read/replied to all the PMs! Thanks all. Will be sending the order to the restaurant tonight!

    • Cronium on 25/11/2019 - 22:56

      Hey mate, did I make the cut?

      • jiayijames on 26/11/2019 - 17:07

        So if no PM from organiser, do not go. If PM received, it's been confirmed.

        • Cronium on 26/11/2019 - 18:05

          Sigh, seems like unless you checked this post over the weekend you probably didn't make it.

            @Cronium: do you want to go on a date with me instead?

              +2

              @tempura: I'll probably lead a group for drinks somewhere in the city afterwards. If you're sociable, you're welcome to tag along. Everyone will be paying for themselves though, unless we stumble upon a deal…

                @Scrooge McDuck: I'm down for that. Or we could hang out at the bus stop again :)

      • dust on 26/11/2019 - 23:05

        Sorry missed your message! Just replied!

  • Bignudge on 26/11/2019 - 20:38

    I just saw this post, no more spots for me and my girlfriend? :(

    Just to confirm, I'm able to create an event, post about it and get it sponsored if 20+ people are interested?

    How does the sponsorship work? Do I pay out of hand first and then get it reinbursed by someone given the final invoice?

    I'm new here and hope to be accepted ahaha.

      If you can get 20+ people to show up to your OzBargain13 event what with four days remaining in November, that is …

    • scotty on 26/11/2019 - 20:46
      +3

      I'm new here

      Maybe you should try to attend some of the meetups first, or at least getting yourself familiar with the community. As your account is new, we probably won't sponsor your parties. Thanks for asking though.

      • Bignudge on 26/11/2019 - 20:48

        Thank you for the reply :)

  • Your Friend on 26/11/2019 - 22:51

    Can we still come if we pay for our own meal..?

    • dust on 26/11/2019 - 23:05

      (Send me a PM with your order if you still wanted to come!)

      • Your Friend on 26/11/2019 - 23:10

        Done! Thanks heaps :)

  • leeboy168 on 27/11/2019 - 12:15

      The call to register was made on 21 Nov. PM on the morning of 27 Nov is unlikely to make the cut.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2019 - 17:17

        Voted on Mon, 18/11/2019 - 10:01.

        • kerfuffle on 27/11/2019 - 17:19

          If you read the OP's edits, you had to be one of the first 70 people to PM him with your meal request, hence alvian's comment.

          What dust wrote, kerfuffle said and summarised here.

          • 19 November: You will need to PM me with your menu order to confirm your spot. We will be taking the first ~60-70 to respond with their menu order.
          • 21 November: If you have voted to attend this event, please PM me your menu order to reserve your spot. Thanks!
          • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2019 - 18:01

            @alvian: dust: All good you're in. T-shirts will be brought by Scotty and will be first come first serve.

    I've added the people who commented in the draw as well as those who voted so no one should miss out. Though we'll probably draw a lot of no shows.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2019 - 21:34

      Only 2 no shows out of 25 RSVP's on the Ozbargains 13th Birthday Meetup ALL Welcome Small Lemongrass CBD last time. At that rate probably 5-6 no shows sounds right.

      • Clear on 27/11/2019 - 21:49

        In this case I originally cut up 90 names

    • muchodinero on 27/11/2019 - 22:09

      @Clear Can I join the raffle too? I will definitely be there tomorrow. :)

      • Clear on 27/11/2019 - 22:10

        Yeah I'll add you. Close to 100 now 😅

  • V003 on 28/11/2019 - 05:55

    I dont know is missed this thread. I check ozbargain every single day. I am amazed at my own inattention to details.
    I might as well show up in area pretend like oh what a surprice meeting u all fellow ozbargainer. For most of us this meetup should be socializing not for food or drinks so i think

  • AdamFury on 28/11/2019 - 15:38

    Anyone going to be down there a little early? I'm on track for a ~5pm arrival. Too keen perhaps.

    • kerfuffle on 28/11/2019 - 15:39

      Probably get there about 15 minutes to 6

    • djprima on 28/11/2019 - 15:40

      Set aside a shirt for me please…

    • sickburn on 28/11/2019 - 15:51

      I'll try and get there a bit before 6; don't want to miss out on a shirt!

  • OzJD on 28/11/2019 - 17:37

    Of course I see this post now - On the day of the last Sydney meet @ 5:30PM. I must be a bot. (do we have a tag for that?)
