I was chatting with Sim the other day and we decided it would probably be a good idea to have a get-together for all the Sydney-siders, so we can actually meet everyone and put faces to nicknames.
The date will be Saturday July 2nd (2011), in a little over three weeks time.
A location has not been chosen yet, I thought I'd leave that for a quick discussion of ideas (one week perhaps?) and then select what seems easiest or most popular.
I'd prefer a decent pub or club (clubs usually have a more relaxed and convivial atmosphere) but that would mean some of the younger members would be excluded.
Another option would be one of the zoos/fauna parks in the Sydney area - Taronga, Sydney Wildlife World, Sydney Aquarium, Featherdale, Australian Reptile Park, Symbio etc. The problem with a place like that is, people tend to keep wandering off to look at things (which is not necessarily a bad thing), but you don't have a relaxed atmosphere where you can sit for a couple hours and just talk/argue/solve the problems of the world.
Or maybe there is some other venue you can think of that would be appropriate to our needs?
And although I said in the first paragraph "Sydney-siders" obviously any one from ZooChat who is in Sydney that day would be welcome.
So what do you think? Any venue you are especially keen to meet at?
