I'm not so sure about the double meeting - we don't want to split the group after all... but then again, if people are happy to turn up then that's great!
As it stands there are currently 4 dates proposed on the meetup page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney#April.2C_drinks_at_The_Belgian_Beer_Cafe.2C_6pm_til_late.21 The 22nd, 17th, 15th and 16th - in that order. Can we consolidate this list into those dates we are actually looking at meeting up? I'm not sure which 2 of these 4 you are referring to when you say "both". -Liam [[witty lama]] On 3/30/09, private musings <[email protected]> wrote: > > as I mentioned on the wiki, I'm up for the radical idea of meeting on both > the 17th and the 22nd - friendly chap that I am :-) > > It also being well known that Nick's word is law, I've confirmed the Rocks > location on the wiki, and I think we should lock that in here too..... > > The more the merrier on each occasion, and if nothing else, the 'two > meetups within a week' thing will be a learning experience - let's try both > :-) > > cheers, > > PM. > > > > On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 2:31 PM, Nick Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> > Show of e-hands? >> >> Timing: Friday 17th; and we make the timing up to Andrew by buying him >> some beers or something next time he's back in Sydney. >> >> Venue: Prefer the Rocks/circular quay over Balmain, because parking in >> Balmain can sometimes be painful.
