Title: Vic meetup 15th December 2019 - Everybody welcome!
Post by: PhoenixxFire on November 23, 2019, 04:53:38 pm
Hey everyone!

I miss you all and I'm gonna be in Melbourne for a bit so it's a perfect time for another meet up!
I've included the weekends on either side of and the week of atar release (barring the 12th because I'm assuming you'll all be too busy celebrating/crying then). Happy to add other dates to the poll if you feel particularly strongly about them though!

Details:
Where: Carlton Gardens (a few min walk from melbourne central)
When: 15th December 2019 11am until everyone has to leave (usually 4 ish)
Who: You, regardless of your post count or year level, everyone is welcome! (Also welcome to bring a friend if meeting strangers from the internet is too weird for you/your parents haha).
What: Awkward chats (probably only at the start, then some high quality banter*), frisbee/uno/other games depending on what people bring, food.

Post below if you have any questions/concerns or just want to express your excitement ;)

*Banter quality not guaranteed.

Edit: Forgot to say: Although this meetup will be around the atar release date, that's not what the meetup is about, it won't be the focus of conversation, and it's totally okay if you don't want to talk about atars/uni offers at all.

Map
This is where we normally meet - if you're coming from Melbourne Central just walk straight up La Trobe st and you'll be in the right place.

If you get lost, post here or send me a PM and we'll come find you!

Very keen for this!
I have yet to work out what days I'm free, but I hopefully will be able to make it!
I'll be bringing plenty of food and can bring a Frisby if the "official" one can't be brought.
Looking forward to meeting up with some new (and old) faces.

Hooray!
I should be available on weekends and Mondays; and I'll happily be a food-bearer if the time works out!

Also a reminder that the grass may be damp, so please bring a picnic blanket/towel for yourself or to share if you can! 💙

It's always great to put faces to usernames and forge friendships (or, who knows; more than friendships? 😉) from these meetups. Keen to see you all there!

Update: I can do Sat the 7th so far- I got rostered for the 8th :( Dunno about 9th+ yet. That'll have to wait until I get this time next week aha

Hey!
So it'll be on the 15th - have updated OP.

For people who haven't come to a meetup before, here's a handy map of where we'll be. If you're coming from Melbourne Central just walk straight up La Trobe st.
(https://i.imgur.com/bVYrjhg.png)

I have a side shave so shouldn't be too hard to spot haha but if you get lost post here or send me a PM and we'll come find you.

If you have card games or other fun things pls bring them, picnic blankets are always useful too. If you can bring some food to share that'd be great but no stress if you can't, we always end up with heaps. Please also check the weather and wear sunscreen!

Also just a reminder that absolutely everyone is welcome! (even you nsw and qld people :p) If you want to come don't be put off by thinking that you're too young/don't have enough posts/haven't been around long enough etc.

Hope you all have an awesome time and the weather is kind!

I won't be around, unfortunately, but really encourage everybody to head along if you're available - meet-ups are always a highlight, and everybody is very friendly. :)

I knew I'd forgotten something haha. Yeah what Sine said. Absolutely no requirement to come at 11 or stick around until the end, in fact it's tradition to do about 50 rounds of introductions as people show up.

It’s also tradition to bring Clix (not Jatz). And someone almost always forgets to bring speakers.

I think you need a red AN shirt, so that your pic matches your squares again.

I was planning on rocking up in flannel too! We can be matching ;) (Most likely a light pink flannel) :P. So excited to see you all and I'll probably join in around noon-ish. (Maybe even earlier who knows) ;D

I'll lend Erutepa a flanny and wear my faux one then - the weather seems to allow for them, although it may get a bit warm.

FYI current temperature estimates a top of 25°C that day, probably slightly overcast.

Only two more sleeps until the meet up!

I do want to also reiterate that this is a chill event - no one is going to judge you for being late or early or w/e (I may have been a bit self-concious about this at my first meetup).

I look forward to catching up with and meeting people!

If you get lost, post here or send me a PM and we'll come find you!

Quoted the info above for everyone to refer back to - as well as that, make sure to bring a blanket to sit on, any games you may like to play (card games tend to go down well, if anyone wants to smash out some Uno) and your wonderful selves, wrapped in a flannel if you have it available. We're going to have some fun and laughs, and hopefully some brand new friendship, and I can't wait.

I'll be arriving early to make things look welcoming and make sure there's a spot for any punctual arrivals, so if you're searching I will be the flanneled, dirty-blonde-haired girl sitting with a flanneled, curly-haired guy at Carlton Gardens just off of La Trobe St.

See you soon! 💙

I hope nobody is particularly emotionally damaged due to a mean game of Uno  :-[

If you'd like a photo from today, please PM me and I'll send it through. Otherwise, thanks for coming, and we'll see you again at the next meet up! 💙

Thanks PF!

I too am looking forward to the next catch up!

Maybe next time it will happen if we bring a second frisbee...😂

Thank you so much to everyone for making the day just as amazing as it was! The flannel gang looked amazing and a huge shoutout to Poet and Erutepa for organising everything from start to finish (including the beautiful cookies! Extra shoutout to those that brought food along too!)

Looking forward to another future meetup with a classical game of monstrous Uno! ;D

Hi everyone,

Thank you to everyone who came to the meetup today (or Facetimed in). Special thanks to Poet and Erutepa for coming in early, securing a spot and welcoming everyone. Also PhoenixFire for planning the meet.  I was a touch late for the meet so ended up missing a few people but hope to see any of you guys at a later date.

Regards,
Sine
