      Well, hopefully we will have more meetups in the future in various cities. Let's see how we go in Brisbane.

      Limit of 2 glasses of wine per person, per hour.
      Ref: Our Deal

      You can probably bypass that by using these.

      Can't help you with the second part.

      • machej on 01/10/2012 - 12:34

        That's why people should get their non-drinking friends and then they can increase that to 4 glasses of wine per hour.

        No more +1s, replies to say you're bringing 10 friends (slight exaggeration :p) etc. everyone is to rsvp for themselves. I'm still a few hours behind in going through my inbox so this applies to you even if you've already rsvp'ed with your extras and I'm yet to read it.

    To those who have RSVPed after seeing this post, please be patient on a response as I am currently overseas and cannot reply to new private messages. Once I get this sorted out I will confirm and respond to RSVPs in the order they arrive in my inbox.

    I estimate that we're probably up to about 20 yeses and a few more maybes at the stage, so there's still room before we hit the 40 cap.

    • Associatedneil @ OzBargain on 01/10/2012 - 14:01

    Just pointing out to anyone excited about the bottle of bubbly, it looks like they mean one bottle for the organiser.

    "You can host a lunch event up until 5pm or a dinner event up until 12 midnight. If you happen to be particularly popular, you're welcome to purchase two vouchers and combine them for a catered party of 80 guests. Once it's all over you will take home a bottle of bubbly to keep the celebrations going at home."

    I'll try to respond to RSVPs as I'm able to. A few comments about this event:

    • I'm not the sponsor, so I haven't paid for it.
    • this is supposed to be a meeting of and for ozbargainers, hence I'm not going to accept any further +1s / rsvps for friends etc. to be fair, everyone who wants to come should rsvp for themselves.
    • for any other questions about the venue, the deal were using etc, go read the original forum thread.

        It's already a forum topic and has been for the last few months. Neil's just added it to the deals page so that more people are aware of it.
