What if we (as a collective) arranged an Ozb Meetup, where we volunteered and helped restore some charity facility or hand-out free food to people in need etc.

I know it will be a huge task to organise but if there is enough support from the community, I'm willing to volunteer my time to help organise something on a mass scale.

Benefit: cut out middle man so no wasted money on glossy papers and highly paid execs plus ozbargain Meetup (we could get sponsors) - 2 birds 1 stone

Cost: difficult to organise and may take a bit of time. (I'm willing to volunteer time to help bring this idea to life).

  • We also need to bang on about our notification system updates as we continue to get queries. If you aren't getting notifications or aren't getting subscriptions, see this thread. You'll need to specifically set your preferences.

  • Winners of the Active OzBargainer Competition :

    first second third

  • New Roy Morgan Report. Guess we can't be tightarses if we buy every bargain.
