  • If you are bringing kids to the event, make sure you let me know so we can make seat adjustment needed. Kids will not be covered by ozb

Rules from @scotty - thank you @scotty for sponsoring :

You can attend at most two events that you are not organising. We did have that clause last year but we still have quite a few people attending 5+ events, so we will be putting a hard cap this year, i.e. you won't even be able to click on "Yes I am attending" if you are already registered for 2 events.

OzBargain meetups are strictly users only this year. In the past there were some leniency for partners, children or other family members that don't have OzBargain accounts. However for this year we decided that one must have an OzBargain account to be part of the meetup.

We won't allow "new accounts" from participating in meetups either. In the last couple of years we had accounts created just to have free meals at OzBargain meetups, and then never logged in again.

    Hi OP,
    Any chance of extending the CAP as I know a number of people would love to attend this 18th Birthday Meetup @ Ren Yakiniku.

      I was trying to think of anywhere Southside that could accomodate like 20 people without having to book it out, but in a format where people could mingle and talk without shouting - and you know what? I can’t think of any lol

      • Can you just do like the Runcorn tavern or Lucky Star tavern? Plenty of pub like venues to just rock up and mingle

        • Man I have not been to either of those places for yearssss

      • you could do that if you rocked up at 5. that's what I did for one my previous events

  • Damn I't late to the party on this one… Will there be another Southside Brisbane event being held this year?

    • +7

      There's another in the works

      • Great, thanks for the heads up! Where do I go to see other and new ozbargain party posts? I only randomly stumbled upon this one this year. Usually I see it from a banner or something.

      • -1

        Oh, where about? I might prefer the closer one to where I live.

  • Would be keen to attend should this go ahead~

    • if you can register so that at least you are in the waiting list if someone drop off

  • +2

    Event is now expanded to 30 people

    • +2

      23 wait-listed now. Maybe do a dinner too?

      • I will be doing another event weekdays in Brisbane CBD - watch this space

  • Apparently my account according to Ozbargain is old enough.

  • 18 means it can legally drink now?

  • +1

    Looks like I am a bit late to the party. 50 people ahead of me…

  • +3

    Missed out or want more?…

    West End Lunch 1pm Sat 16/11 is proposed if there is enough interest.

    *Limit of 2 free events per member!

    • There's still not enough interest!

      • West End event is only to see if people are interested at this stage!

        Interest in Registering for this Sunnybank event has fallen😉 There's no availability!

        I was near end of long wait list here when this was only event.

        People cancelled & Registered for other events. Like I did.
        (Registration is limited to maximum of 2 events. Even if just on wait list!)

        Likely numbers will drop when comes time to commit - to pay the refundable deposit! That's why the deposit was introduced.

        As other events fill up, then the proposed West End event might be a possibility.

        It's a different style of event, larger numbers, with different style of food etc.

        *Smaller events mean it's possible to have more social interaction between members.

    when are we able to pay deposit etc?
