[OzBargain 13th Birthday] Brisbane Meetup Saturday 23rd of November 12pm, Big Roddy's Ribs West End

Hello all.

We had a great day catching up last year!. Super fun, sharing stories and having a laugh, free food and drinks.

I thought I'd put the offer on the table to organise another Brisbane meetup! If you're keen to come, please RSVP in the poll below. If we can get critical mass, it'll be another great day!

Here is a photo from last year at the Hula Bar and Grill!

Legend has it… if we get 15+ people, scotty will fly past in his private jet to throw down Ozbargain T-shirts for all in attendance.

EDIT:

We have now reached the magic number of 15!! The event is happening!

Some have suggested changing the date and/or time, while I like the idea, I think this wouldn't be best… as people have committed to this time.

Others have suggested changing the date to a non-central location (such as Sunnybank) I love Sunnybank and it's close to me… but again, I think it's best to keep it central. Somewhere open, spacious, with a big table where everyone can gather around really worked well last year.

I also want to try and sort out a deal. The Fork can take 50% off the bill for 14+ people at two restaurants. I've looked at both options however and I'm not sure they will have the atmosphere we are after

Another suggestion was Felon's. I might give Felon's a call to see if they can offer us a deal. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

UPDATE!

Finalised! 12pm at Big Roddy's Ribs see you there!

It tried so hard with Felons and other places offering discounts, but none were right - thanks to those who suggested it!

    Okay, I've reported usernames of all the members who attended to the mods so you can qualify for the 'Not A Bot' badge. Check your profile in a day or so to verify it's there. If it doesn't show up, or if I failed to speak to you at the meet and record your username, please let me know and I'll chase the mods.

    • Thanks so much for this!

    • My badge appeared today, thanks Chazzozz.

    • Hey mate, sorry for being so late onto this but I haven't received my badge.

      • No problem, I'll make contact with the Mods.

      • Check your badges now! I've just received word back from the Mods you've been awarded it already. :)

        • All good, cheers!

    Damn - didn't know this was on…
    Was looking forward to catching up from last year's meet!
    That's what happens when I don't read Forums, just the Deals!

    Saw this in Melbourne Birthday meet Deal.
    Set up alert for next year!

      I was surprised that we didn't see you, infidel! Was hoping you'd come along this year!

      • Thanks👍 Had a great time last year. Would have been nice to catch up.

        My Father recently died, so was preoccupied with family matters… to keep up with posts.

        See you next year🎉

          Really sorry to hear this mate… :( Hope to see you next year.

  • Missed it again…. so sad :(

  • Looking forward to this year's celebrations🎉
    That's if it's happening - with Covid.

      At the moment I don't think it is happening. Not sure about restrictions in each state but looking at the sizes of past events in Sydney & Melbourne — definitely not happening this year.

      I am really hoping to travel up to Queensland soon though — dad sick in the hospital on GC :(

      • Sorry to hear. Hope he gets better soon.

        Hope your Dad gets well & you can visit soon! Best wishes.


        Thanks. As for the Birthday, there's always next year, maybe…

        Brisbane meets have been around 15 people in past. 2018 meet - there were no or few other patrons & was outside.

        Restrictions in QLD at moment:
        up to 1 person per 2 square metres and no more than 50 patrons at a time
