    Is there one for Northerners?

    • angywoo on 14/10/2023 - 16:03

      How far north?

      Good to hear Perth hasn’t changed in the 5 years since I lived there.

      It’s like north and south are different states. Ahhhh, good times.

    • Michael15286 on 25/10/2023 - 00:02

      I'm planning to organize one in Mount Lawley, need a few more numbers before it goes ahead though.

  • Almost Banned on 14/10/2023 - 16:23

    Put me down as a maybe.
    It will heavily depend on the giving of free merch.

    • angywoo on 14/10/2023 - 21:23

      Let's hope scotty hears our plea.

  • Kawaii on 14/10/2023 - 17:50

    😭yes pls

    • angywoo on 14/10/2023 - 21:21

      That's great!

  • cerealsmok3r on 14/10/2023 - 18:18

    thanks for organising!

    • angywoo on 14/10/2023 - 21:23

      Well I don't know what I am in for yet…HA!

    Wooo 🥳 go @angywoo for getting this going.

    I heard the Perth meetup back in 2018 and it was a blast. There are many more OzBargainers lurking around Perth than one might think.

    Excited to see and hear about it! Feel free to message me if you have any questions OP.

    Party time, Perth 🎉

    Nice work angywoo, look forward to it

  • Ozbargainasaurus on 15/10/2023 - 21:46

    Can't wait!!

    Unfortunately, after attending the last 2 and having a great time, I won't be able to attend this year, as I have something else on, on the 4th November, that I can't change.

    I hope it all goes well.

    I'll keep an eye out incase there is another event on a different date.

    • angywoo on 17/10/2023 - 12:21

      Oh no!

    • Michael15286 on 25/10/2023 - 00:04

      I'm planning one for the 15th of November, if you're interested.

      • cevad on 25/10/2023 - 00:10

        Bugger, have been meaning to go to Mack Daddy's for some time, but I have a Scotch Malt Whisky Society tasting event that night, but I'd be happy for another night.

        • Michael15286 on 25/10/2023 - 00:11

          There are only two confirmations as of yet, so I may be able to change the date. PM me a day that works and I'll see if we can find something that works

  • mandelbrot on 16/10/2023 - 23:17

    I'm in if it's not too far south

    • angywoo on 17/10/2023 - 12:22

      inner south

      • mandelbrot on 17/10/2023 - 12:23

        Like South Perth or Vic Park?

        • angywoo on 21/10/2023 - 12:49
          +2

          Balmoral is up there as an option

      • yewman on 17/10/2023 - 22:07

        like Mandurah?

        • angywoo on 21/10/2023 - 12:50
          +1

          The gate is up there but it is in Success.

  • yewman on 17/10/2023 - 22:04

    South better not mean Fremantle. Something more like Rockingham Chicken Treat is South.

    Hoping this can get some traction so the shirts arrive in time.

      Coincidentally, wearing last year's right now😛

  • cristobaljames on 20/10/2023 - 02:11

    Any chance we could hold the gathering at Planet Royale?

    • angywoo on 21/10/2023 - 12:48

      They do not like big groups. I was there when they received the ozbargain call for the booking (pretty sure it was last year and they) The bloke was speaking to us about it…

      Happy to add it to the list but Northbridge has the word North in it and this is south. :)

  • angywoo on 21/10/2023 - 21:14

    45 minutes and then it is being called Perth People

  • MeesusEff on 23/10/2023 - 22:18

    Just saw this, any of you ladies attending? Not sure how my husband will feel if I pop off to a bar with a bunch of men ahaha

    • angywoo on 23/10/2023 - 22:19
      +1

      He might be happy to have a night off

      You will not be the only lady

      • MeesusEff on 23/10/2023 - 22:31
        +1

        as the one that has to look after 2 toddlers, hes not the one that will be happy haha!

    • AnKu on 24/10/2023 - 00:16

      I'm going to bring my missus. I have yet to ask her, but she is probably keen.

  • angywoo on 23/10/2023 - 22:32

    You deserve a night off

  • Liheng on 25/10/2023 - 15:51

    Thank you for organising this!

  • Liheng on 25/10/2023 - 16:21

    May I bring my father?

    • angywoo on 25/10/2023 - 22:01

      Yes you can however, as per Scotty's request, we will strictly be following the budget of $35 per Ozbargain registered user. So whilst we would love to see him, he will need to cover his own expenses.

      • Liheng on 26/10/2023 - 18:29

        Cool Thanks

  • Ozbargainasaurus on 25/10/2023 - 23:50

    Good work on the shirts @angywoo

    If by any chance you are not able to come on Saturday please cancel your registration and let me know. All it takes is a press of a button.

    If you have registered and do not attend on the day I have been informed that there will be consequences. Don't be that person.

    If anyone would like to bring along any prizes to give out please let me know. Maybe we can do a small raffle.

    Let me know your thought.

      • angywoo on 04/11/2023 - 12:16

        Should be a great night!

        Yes, Thanks for offering.

    • mandelbrot on 04/11/2023 - 17:23

      I managed to shuffle some stuff around, so can now attend

    • wandfy on 04/11/2023 - 19:00

      Will be there. Looking forward to it.

    • MeesusEff on 04/11/2023 - 19:15

      I'm coming, but I'm extremely sleep deprived and running on caffeine, so my conversational skills will be pretty derp 😂

      • MeesusEff on 04/11/2023 - 21:02

        Oops sorry will be about 10 mins late!

  • Ramrunner on 04/11/2023 - 15:45

    Already messaged you before but confirming Callum and I will be there.

  • angywoo on 04/11/2023 - 16:32

    Thank you

  • mandelbrot on 04/11/2023 - 17:35

    Menu fyi:
    https://www.thegatebarandbistro.com.au/wp-content/uploads/20…

    Can we pay the difference if we order something more than $35? (E.g. porterhouse steak)

    • MeesusEff on 04/11/2023 - 17:43

      Wondering that too! Not too keen on anything else haha

  • angywoo on 04/11/2023 - 18:17

    Great question.

    Unless Scotty contacts me to say he has changed his rules, we will be sticking to the rules below.

    Scotty's rules state:

    "First of all, budget, and I'm keeping it to strictly $35pp this year, which should cover food, venue and/or activities."

    I have confidence you will find other options on the menu.

    Believe it or not but the venue contacted me a few hours ago wanting me to pay $250 up front to cover their losses if you don't all turn up. Going by the rules above, that amount should be coming out of the $35pp…

    I will be placing one order for everyone's food and soft drinks. Otherwise, it will start to get really messy chasing money and I don't want to be that person. I would actually like to spend time enjoying the evening.

    It should be a great night.

    • mandelbrot on 04/11/2023 - 18:35

      I'm happy to give you cash for any difference when we place the order. Is that an option?

  • sasq on 04/11/2023 - 21:27

    I have just arrived at the gate. Where exactly cane we find the group.

  • LlamaKarma on 04/11/2023 - 21:29

    Hey mate where are you at? Canttell which is the ozbargain event

    • sasq on 04/11/2023 - 21:31

      Still looking, we're in orange shirts and pants

    @angywoo great event . Thanks so much for organising. Had a great time chatting to you all! Until next year, who knows I might organise next one!

    • angywoo on 05/11/2023 - 14:48

      It was a great night. Thanks for your help.

    Great night Perth. It was really great to see you all having a good chinwag and getting to know each other. Sorry I didn't live up to your stereotype. Must say, that was certainly one of my highlights of the night watching the majority of you look shocked. Surprise!

    Thank you to Ozbargainasaurus for helping me get the box out of my car. It was really kind of you. Yes you should arrange next years one.

    Thanks also to mmd for ensuring I was fed, watered and made it to the car safely at the end.

    Kawaii, cristobaljames, ChronoSphinx, Boghead and 404 Not Found, we missed meeting you last night. Hope you are all ok.

    Someone may have to let me know how to put photos up on here and I have no idea.

    • mandelbrot on 05/11/2023 - 19:44

      Thanks for organising. Did the final bill come under Scotty's budget? If not, please let us know how much we can contribute to make up the difference.

    • HamBoi69 on 06/11/2023 - 10:12

      Someone may have to let me know how to put photos up on here and I have no idea.

      Go to your account. Press "Files" and upload accordingly.

      • angywoo on 10/11/2023 - 00:07

        I managed to upload them to files now how do I ad them to the post?

          if you click the photo, it'll open a new web page of the photo. Then you copy and paste the whole 'web address' bit

  • angywoo on 05/11/2023 - 20:17

    Yes it did. Very kind of you to ask. I hope you had a great night.
