![[VIC] OzBargain Meetup & Gaming Night: Free T-Shirts, Food & Drinks fr. 5:30PM Thursday (Nov 29) @ Pokéd (Bourke St. Melbourne)](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/36/418636.jpg?h=3e88b2b2)
OzBargain is turning 12 years old and to celebrate we are having meetups all over the country.
Our Melbourne meetup will be at Pokéd @ 111 Bourke Street from 5:30PM Thursday and is a gaming night. Thanks to Justin from Pokéd and Gameology for lending out his venue and his time.
- Free food (likely Pizza hut pizzas (Pepperoni, Veggie, Cheese) + Dumplings? or whatever suggestions people may want).
- Free drinks (non-alcoholic).
- Free OzBargain t-shirt.
You must PM me with a size to reserve a shirt before Tuesday (27/11) 5PMNow Closed - Free games. We'll setup some games to play and we'll some other games to give away. (Suggestions welcome!)
- Free Not a Bot virtual badge.
If you don't want to hang around or interact with anyone, that is fine. You can come in, write your username down (so I can give you a badge) and take a shirt (reserved)/food.
T-Shirts:
- New orange running top design. Old designs are black and red orange. Pic
- 36 Shirts (S: 2 Black, 8 Orange; M: 8 Orange; L: 7 Orange; XL: 2 Red Orange, 1 Black, 3 Orange; XXL: 3 Orange). There were at least 65 people in attendance last year.
- You need to PM your request for a shirt. Deadline is Tuesday (27/11) 5PM. Now Closed
- We will be prioritising those who have never received a shirt, contributions/time on OzBargain. (e.g. people who just sign up for account get low priority). Also allows me to not be bombarded with PMs all at once.
- I'll PM you sometime on Tuesday/Wednesday to let you know if you've been reserved a shirt. If you haven't you'll be put on standby.
- If you don't collect the shirt by 6:30PM, we'll go to standby list, followed by first come, first serve.
PM me the size you want and preference of colour.
Rough plan:
- From 5:30PM: Meetup starts. Grab a name tag & shirt if reserved.
- 5:30-5:45PM: Food arrives.
- 6:30PM: Free t-shirts to those on standby list followed by whoever is there.
6:45PM: Group photo (voluntary).
Facebook Event if that's your thing.
For people in other locations, we need your feedback and/or confirmations.
