Happy Birthday ozb… one more year until 18 and we can all drink (right Scotty?)

This is an alternative dinner for those who can't make a Wednesday night as organised by @twilsoncrow here : https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/805110

Update: Lock it in Eddie. 630pm at The Flipside Barcade. I've spoken to the owner and we have a food, drink and gaming deal. Alcohol is not included in the ozb budget. See you there!

Final numbers will be given to the boss on Wednesday 8th November, so please vote / let me know if you're bringing anyone not on ozb

Hoping that Friday will work well with most as an after-work wind down after a long week on the tools.

Date : Friday 10th November
Location : I'm brainstorming some cool ideas, and feel free to add suggestions, but I have a few in mind …

Will suss out with Scotty whether the $35 could cover a custom meal/arcade package (that I will haggle) if it's at Flipside.

    Hi all, the time is near … going to book in the Flipside Barcade. This place is also kid friendly and I am thinking some of us would prefer a kid-friendly venue… but also, the adults can play like kids too here.

    Any objections before I commit with Scotty?

      No issues at all, thank you for organizing again!

      I have added this post as an event. @twilsoncrow who will be coming to this event, will bring some T-shirts to be given away.

      • kickling on 25/10/2023 - 16:41

        Legend.

        If possible, can we request more mediums than other other sizes? Most of the attendees were M or L. Last year we only had XL and bigger!

        @twilsoncrow I've made you co organiser in the event since you'll have the shirts

  • kickling on 25/10/2023 - 19:48

    Also update… Final numbers will be counted on Wednesday 8th of November. Please let me know if you're bringing extras not registered on ozb, like partners and kids.

    Cheers!

        Fair question.

        Prior years kids have been fine. And partners.

        @Scotty can clarify further.

        Just let me know please how many additional by Wednesday 8th Nov so I can tell the venue and also bump the tally.

      • Spootage on 27/10/2023 - 18:28

    Hi Kickling, how do I register to attend?

    • kickling on 07/11/2023 - 17:36

      Hi there, I've added you to the guest list. All good

  • treeman on 07/11/2023 - 18:49

    Okay I have just register my place.
    Can I add a plus 1 brother in law?

    Thanks

    • kickling on 07/11/2023 - 22:35

      Get him to try create an ozb account first. If can't, then let me know. I'll manually tally.

        Done

  • talktome on 08/11/2023 - 09:53

    I’ve pulled out my name as not feeling well so make sure not socialise until fully recovered. Good luck with event.

    • kickling on 08/11/2023 - 10:53

      Ok cheers. Feel better soon

  • treeman on 08/11/2023 - 19:37

    I've created 2 extra accounts which have been banned for ghost accounts or whatever as I wanted to confirm that 3 of us could go.

    Hopefully all 3 are still on the list.

    That's myself
    Haydenk
    And
    Malikai (13 year old)

    Thanks

    Looking forward to it

    • kickling on 08/11/2023 - 22:50

      No worries - thanks for doing the right thing. This is what I tried to address and suggest in terms of those who don't have an account, but that's all good. I will manually tally up.

      • treeman on 09/11/2023 - 14:21

        Okay so now it is only going to be myself and Malikai (13 years old)
        Haydenk can't come anymore.

        Sorry to muck you around!

        • treeman on 09/11/2023 - 14:24

          I've now removed him from the attendence registration.

    Thanks everyone for attending, we had a pretty good turnout at 26 total head count. Great fun.

    Thanks to @jason101 for supplying the party favours and @twilsoncrow for bringing a good number of tshirts.

    Thanks @Scotty for funding and giving back to the community.

    Apologies for the minor menu misunderstanding, but great to see the venue come to the party and just goes to show that it's worth supporting a good local.

    Will upload some photos shortly.

    Til next year…
