Where to meet

Alexandria Hotel (in Alexandria), 5pm Saturday 19 November, 2011

Extended content

Since GovCamp is in the Australian Technology Park, I suggest somewhere in Newtown. --99of9 (talk) 02:33, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, lots of nice places there - be nice to combine somewhere to both eat and drink...maybe Bank Hotel? Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:02, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that there's a lot of choice but Newtown is a decent walk from ATP - I'd prefer something more towards the CBD (being selfish, the further away from the CBD, the earlier I'd need to leave as I don't have convenient late-night transport). I'd also suggest we need to find somewhere where we'll be able to have a quiet conversation (ie no loud music etc). And some of the attendees may be under 18.

Support plea for no loud music. CBD no parking, so bit of a hassle. The Alexandria Hotel has a beer garden. Corner Henderson Rd and Garden Streets. It's close to the ATP.

I'm easy, as long as I know in advance.

Eh, I'd like to go, but seeing as I'm a minor I don't think I'd be allowed entry :S —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 6:32pm • 08:32, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just gave them a call, and you're allowed in if you can make it. Both the beer garden and the cocktail bar are "authorized for children". --99of9 (talk) 09:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok then, come Friday I'll know whether or not I can go, so I've listed myself in the "interested" section. Thanks :) —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 7:56pm • 09:56, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The nearest train station is Redfern and I'd have to walk a long way to get there :S I'd probably get lost along the way, is anyone walking from Redfern station? —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 10:02pm • 12:02, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

probably. not sure what time I can get there as I have a family function beforehand (and sort of during....) but am only about 10 min away. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:39, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this fits into my weekend plans. See you there. --99of9 (talk) 04:56, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interested, but uncommittal

schomynv (talk) 07:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC) pro: it's fairly close to where I live; con: don't really have the time...[reply]
Love to be there but can't make it this time --Mike (talk) 14:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Will try to make it, but not sure at the moment. Michael Glass (talk) 11:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately I am sick at present, but I try my best to attend - coming "down" from North Queensland.--Fox1942 (talk) 13:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in the middle of writing reports so I'd probably be even surlier company than usual. Next time? ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 06:20, 17 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Should be there, all things going well. Might even bring Zac, my ACD x kelpie, as it's a dog-friendly pub. Jherschel (talk) 12:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Full day to-day but will if I can. If so, perhaps Jherschel's kelpie cross will meet my yellow lab... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Next time, schedule is full --Coekon (talk) 21:37, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
