Rules from @scotty - thank you @scotty for sponsoring :

Attend one, or at most two events that you are not organising. If you have already attended one or two meetup events this year, let someone else have a chance, especially as some of the events are capped.

Please do not create new accounts just for the meetups. Organiser should be able to set rules to block accounts that are too new.

Make sure you are attending the events that you have registered for! You can see the list of events under settings → events page. Do not leave the events registered "just in case". If you do not think you are able to come, click on Cancel Registration on those events so those on the waitlist can have a chance. There will actually be a new black badge this year — No Show for those who did not turn up to events that they have registered for, which might impact their ability to register for events in coming years.

If you are bringing kids to the event, make sure the organiser knows so we can make adjustment needed. Kids will not be covered by ozb

Checkin at the event! Find either (1) the organiser/co-organisers, or (2) QR code printout, and mark yourself off. Here's more info.

    I think it's best to let everyone know this is the third Brisbane meetup running this month.

    The meetup at Sunnybank has already hit its cap: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/804964
    The meetup at Woolloongabba is still open, but has an eligibility requirement: "a minimum ~100 comments to be eligible": https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/804754

    This is the third, I'd go if I wasn't already committed to one of the other meetups.

    Shabuhouse has been used previously for meetups, sounds like a good choice. As your cap is 15, Big Roddy's Ribs at South Brisbane could be an alternative location, we had 20 people there at the meetup in 2019.

    • incorporated your feedback abt naming it 3rd meetup.

      Saturday lunch buffet used to be around $35 but they changed the price. Maybe that's why op chose a weekday.

      I was hoping Brisbane annual meetup would happen at Shabu house again this year again but i already chose to attend the other 2 meetups 🥲 I am more than happy to attend 3 times but need to let other members have a chance 😉

      thank you for your feedback,
      do you have any suggestions for a buffet with 35 dollars around brisbane cbd ?

      • Is there a reason you're limiting your options to buffet?
