Very disappointed I'll have to put in apologies. Christmas holiday times are a bit complicated. Vote 1 for the venue though.
Terrific meetup. Good to meet some new faces. Had a full table, and lots of shiny stuff laid out upon it. Nobody seemed to bat an eye-lid. We were there from 7 to 11, the place closed up around us. Time seemed to go really fast. Great to meet Dan, Angel and Mpowerin for the first time. ... No telling anyone about my sugar cube fetish OK?
It was an excellent meetup night! The place was huge with at least 3 separate possible areas to meetup. (or get lost) Lots of other people around eating and drinking, the place was packed! I got there early and just picked a spot. It ended up being right in the middle of the bar cafe. We moved tables 3 times as more Stackers arrived. Got to catch up with some familiar faces and met some new faces. Which was great! The table was laid out with our silver items. As the Captain mentioned, no-one else even really noticed! Probably thought we were a group of nerdy coin collectors. Anyways most people brought something along to trade or sell. All up it was a successful event and everyone agreed that this should be at least regular monthly event.
Well my sister announced at my do that she had just got married. I'd have preferred mordialloc I think. lol
Yes, was rather fun. Spewing I had to leave early. Hopefully I'll be back for another. Edit: thanks CK for teaching me about crowns.
Great to meet some stackers and be able to talk silver, strategies and and swap stories - and pick up some ag - look forward to the next one - thanks all
It was good to put names to faces. And a big thanks to C.K for the swap No I didn't swap it for a 20c piece ,just put it up for size comparisen 1/25 oz nugget
Hello, nice meeting everyone last night. I ended up scoring 2 oz Libertad that I always wanted. Thank you Dan. Looking forward to the next meeting
Sorry to quote you . But hands up for a westiee silver stacker right here.......that is to say I plan to make first purchase this week (W.Davis & Son me thinks). If there is ever another catch up I would be keen to join and introduce you to a western sub.s silver investor.
Next Melbourne meetup will be around the start of the February 2011. When Gold Pelican gets back in town. He has some US goodies to trade!...This will be one event you don't want to miss! I shall post something up next week to organise it.
