Brisbane Meetup - Sunday 17th February 2019 - 2.00pm till 5.00pm

Thanks to everyone that made the day very enjoyable, learned a bit as well and a special thanks to all that traveled more than an hour to make the day

 

Here's a quick roundup of our thoughts on the Brisbane meet up. Short answer, it was great!

 

Thanks for the vid. Nice write up.

As a suggestion for future events, if they can be held somewhere close to a train line that may possibly help numbers. If I went I'd like to be able to have a few drinks and not worry about how to get home.

Also, East Brisbane has always been a shit fight for parking.

Thanks again for the review.

5 minutes if you're an athlete and don't mind rocking up dripping sweat dealing with the humidity and heat.

But you're right, the station was closer than I thought. I was looking at stations on my line. I hate switching lines

 

Plenty of free parking at the pub we were at.

 

It's the drinking and driving bit we're trying to avoid

 

Yep - John GF covered the trains. I was just covering the "East Brisbane parking shit fight" comment.

As I said at the meeting, definitely open to suggestions of other places. I'm a typical Victorian and have no real knowledge of the pubs north of the border. . If there is somewhere better - let me know and we'll look at booking it for the next function.

 

I nominate Paranoid Android's place, saves him worrying about trains, walking, sweating, humidity, drink driving, switching lines, etc, etc.

 

No issues with that at all. As long as the dog accepts you, you're in.

BYO. Any leftover booze remains for my doomsday collection.

 

Thanks Michael for putting the vid together summarising the event and also thanks for the special mention of those who flew in to attend

I really enjoyed coming over and putting faces to names I have traded with plus meeting other stackers

I’d certainly be a starter for the next proposed meeting in May (buzz)
Hopefully we will see a bigger turnout

Without you and CK pulling this together it would never have got up and running thanks again for your efforts much appreciated

Cheers

 

It was our pleasure. Lots of fun.

 

Was a perfect location until the dog was mentioned
