Vic AN Meetup!

The polls are now closed, and a date picked!

SATURDAY THE 10TH OF DECEMBER
Officially, we'll start at around about 12:00, however we may be going for ages! Don't feel like you have to stick around/have to be there on time, feel free to come later or leave early if you want/have to.



It's that time of year again - the time where we all meet-up, forget about ATARs, and have a bit of fun! The oldies around here probably know what this is all about, but for anyone just joining us this year:

Each year, we meet up at the Flagstaff gardens just before ATARs are released. It's the perfect opportunity to meet up with some of the great friends you've met this year on the forums, and just chill out and relax before the daunting point of ATAR release. People bring snacks, Brendan carries his beast of an esky, usually a footy or frisbee finds its way into the pack, and it's a day of lots of fun!! There's also no need to be scared of stranger danger - feel free to bring friends not from the forums if you're worried about things, or you're a shy person. We welcome all kinds (including any one not in year 12 who's reading this and thinks it'll be a blast!).

NOT TO MENTION, if you're unsure about uni preferences (or uni in general), usually a few of us OLD old people (i.e., doing uni), come along, and are happy to answer any questions you might have about courses. (be warned: anybody talking to Brendan will somehow end up studying philosophy)

Just put in the poll what day you'd prefer, we'll call the most popular time in a couple of weeks, and we can all meet up and have fun!

Golly, don't get too excited.

Brenden, will you be bringing the Clix that don't actually exist?

Yeah, if I wanted to sound really enthusiastic I'd type 'Hype' without even an exclamation mark. ::)

Are you feeling a bit elderly today, Melting Meithy? :D

Someone called me a senior citizen the other day, and all I've been able to do since is project. :'(

I'm going to bring a highly obscure savoury treat that tastes like most other similar products available, and then berate anybody who hasn't heard of that particular shitty brand.

Also on the topic of food, I hear that Lauren is going to bring some of her famous cookies!  (Probably the leftovers from last year, since no one trusted her enough to eat them last time. :) )

So erm dumb question but how does anyone ever find anyone else at these meets? Legit, the only person I would be able to recognise is Lauren and maybe Brenden having been to one of the lectures...

Well, if Joseph is there, you just gotta look for the man in the Spiderman suit. ;)

But nah, we'll put up a map closer to the day of the approximate part of the park we'll be in, then you just gotta go to the crowd/giant esky of terror. If there's not that many people, just wander around that area looking lost and we can call you over when we notice you.

This is utter slander and you know it. Now you all have to come to the meeting to prove Heidi wrong - my reputation is at stake!

Dw, I'm the most important one ::)
Look for the cluster of teenager-->young-adult kids loitering around suspiciously; I'll try and get there early-ish and post a rough location within the gardens (e.g. something extraordinarily helpful like 'next to a tree') so we can find each other. One of us will be checking this thread on our phone intermittently, so if you're lost, you can let us know.

Alternative plan: someone can wear a ludicrously conspicuous hat and we'll all just gravitate towards them. Any takers? ;)

Don't know about a hat, but I mean my jacket with "Sweetiepi" will probably do ;)

We already have a plan - Joseph comes as Spiderman. C'mon, keep up, keep up. ;)
