    It's that time of the year again... I can hear the Jingling of Christmas Bells, or even better some little cast silver bars knocking together in Christmas stockings.

    This Month's Meetup is on Sunday the 3rd December. It is again at our favourite CBD location, which we have totally filled out for the last 2 or 3 meetings.

    As usual we will have a few trading tables set up, showcasing a good assortment of precious metal from some of the local "Gold Precinct" retailers, as well as a few private traders (like myself) with a good assortment of precious metal goodies.

    The venue, as always will be revealed by direct message to those stackers who register on this page. We will run our usual time slot of 2:00 to 5:00pm.

    The CBD venue makes public transport easy, certainly much easier than parking, but all day parking is available nearby in Flinders lane at Sunday rates, which aren't usually too bad. Across the road the AOC car park (Manchester Lane) is also available on the Sunday.

    As with previous meetups, we will also be inviting members of some select Gold and Silver FaceBook groups.

    There have been a couple of up and coming dealers who would like to introduce themselves, and perhaps be subjected to a quick Q and A.

    We will of course be holding the auction, and Sam from Adams Bullion is again going to be running the Auction. It's dragon season, so I'll try and make sure that some lunar goodness is on the auction table.

    As always this is the absolute best time to come get yourself a bargain. Prices are near all time highs, but they are rising.... and if you have metal to trade/sell, you cant go wrong. There should be an XRF machine present to test stuff on the spot too.

    So let us know below if you plan to attend, and feel free to suggest topics or request particular items. A detailed invitation will be sent by private message.

    See you there.

    Ck.

    Well... bit quiet on the forum front here with only 3 responses.... But there are a bunch of people coming from the other forums, so looking forward to it.

    The three of you that have responded know the location, so I'll save my typing finger and see you all there.

    Who was the muppet that turned up in a mask & had gloves on ?
    Trying to sell coloured $2 coins .
    Quickly split when I asked him why he had a nappy on .
    Yes I'm triggered by seeing people with masks on , and yes I question their sanity .

    Props to all the organisers (surely not just the Captn?) for a great afternoon. It really was nice meeting the stacker community in person.

    Went in thinking it would be all about bullion but left with the best buy being chilli oil.

    Until next time

    When is the next meeting? Would be nice if there could be about 5 a year planned in advance so people can plan around them? Just MHO though :)

    Not possible to have a 5 year or even 1 year schedule as venue availability revolves around the venue provider.

    We get the venue at zero cost, so the venue owner has to give priority to paying groups.

    Having said that, the most likely date for next meeting is Sunday 3rd March ... To be confirmed shortly.

    . Not 5 year plan…..about 5 meetings a year. I too can’t plan 5 years ahead. 5 days is more like it. That is why it’d be great if we knew ahead of at least a couple of meetings but it’s all Good. See you Sunday. Will try to bring olive oil
