Come & celebrate OzBargain's 18th birthday!

Meetup Details

Date and Time: Saturday 16 November 2024, 5:30pm
Location: Star Buffet Bankstown
Address: 1 Meredith St, Bankstown NSW 2200
Cap: 30 (could be extended to if popular)

Hey everyone. This will be my 2nd and final birthday meetup that I will be organising, at Bankstown NSW 2200. [insert Bankstown postcode meme]

All You Can Eat

Located inside the Bankstown RSL Community Club, Star Buffet offers you great value gourmet buffet, ranging from Australian, Asian and European cuisine, sushi train, roast duck and BBQ pork plus all your favourite seafood and roasts, not to mention the many tempting desserts in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We are located within a 10 minute walk from the Bankstown Train Station.

Hopefully there will be some sponsors for this event (as Parramatta meetup will be the more sponsored one), possibly prizes from ISP himself :)

We appreciate OzBargain for sponsoring this event with a very generous amount for food, drinks, entertainment and possibly 2024 OzBargain t-shirts/hoodies for the big fans.

Thanks,
-ISP

My wife and I want to both go but we've been sharing my account since forever.

Will it be possible for my wife to be covered as well. We'll only go to one this event only :)

If not then we'll both share the $45 hehe.

Edit: A $10 deposit sent either ways.

  Those ozbargain memberships do be expensive these days

  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.

Location updated ☺️
Should be plenty of space to roam around while eating [unlimited] food.

  I thought about this place before you updated the location. I have tried it during lunch time long time ago with some friends. International passport was not accepted, lol. Lucky, someone has member card and all can enter but need to fill a form lol. This is in RSL building. Maybe better if you could help checking people who'll attend this. Hopefully no problem for anyone to enter the building.

    I should call to enquire about that. Thanks for the heads up!

      We only came to eat buffet, not gambling … The security need to learn good hospitality …
      
      Better for anyone to come early if they need to fill a form because they are not members of the RSL, lol. Someone need to help these people by showing member card …
      
      Everyone need to bring real ID. Not everyone has AU passport or driving license.
      - I Smell Pennies on 16/10/2024 - 09:38
        
        @neoleo: So say if I sign everyone in do they all need an ID still?
        
        neoleo on 16/10/2024 - 09:40
        
        @I Smell Pennies: Maybe, just in case someone looks so young under 18. It's best for everyone to bring ID. One people with member card should help with the entrance of the rest. Hopefully no one come late, then need to fill a form lol.
        
        neoleo on 16/10/2024 - 09:44
        
        @I Smell Pennies: I forget if there's limit or not for 1 member card to bring other people. Better to book in advance and confirm about ID and member card (any limit if any).

        @neoleo: Just called the club.
        
        If attendees live >10km from the club, they can sign themselves in.
        
        If attendees live <10km from the club, a member will have to sign them in. If this is the case - I can help sign them in (unlimited number of people).
        
        ALL adults will need a valid Australian ID to enter the venue. International passport accepted if they have been in Australia less than 3 months.
