Hi All,

Any interest in having one at The Village Green Hotel on this day?
I've been meaning to try their Feast Buffet and what better way to do it than when it's FREE in celebration of OzBargain's 18th birthday! Perhaps up to 15 people?

Adults are $38/pp on Tuesdays, so I reckon we'd be able to get that and a few jugs of soft drink covered.

EDIT: Just made the the last call and upped it to 34 people which includes everyone on the wait list. Yay!
If you're not going to come, please let us know.

    I’m in

    I've added this as an event. For those who are interested please register.

    • patryn on 30/10/2024 - 22:26

      Thanks, scotty.
      First time organiser, do I need to do anything else other than book, order and pay? Then obv send the receipts to you for reimbursement.

      • scotty on 30/10/2024 - 22:27

        That's it. Take some photos during the event as well!

        • patryn on 30/10/2024 - 22:28

          Sounds easy enough. Will do!

      • dstar378 on 08/11/2024 - 11:38

        patryn - are you able to add me in if i register on wait list?

        • patryn on 12/11/2024 - 11:55

          done

    • dstar378 on 08/11/2024 - 11:37

      Scotty - just saw this event closer to my place. Would I be able to cancel another (don't mind losing the deposit) and book this one?

      • scotty on 08/11/2024 - 11:38

        Sure you can always cancel the ones you have on waitlist and then register to the one that still has not reached cap.

  • Dinjay on 31/10/2024 - 07:49

    I'd love to join, but probably can't get there until 7:30pm-ish. Are people like to dine and dash?

      Hi Dinjay,
      Not sure about how likely that is, but they close at 8:30pm on Tuesdays. I'll definitely be around till around then to make full use of the buffet!

  • daydream on 01/11/2024 - 00:43

    Thanks for hosting/posting!

  • patryn on 01/11/2024 - 17:02

    Booked in for 15ppl at the venue. Looking forward to meeting you all!

    • TukangPijat on 03/11/2024 - 00:02

      Thanks for coordinating!

  • Jake17 on 03/11/2024 - 10:11

    I'm in, finally, a place I can attend, I've been here before, it's not the greatest, but it is decent enough

    • patryn on 03/11/2024 - 12:04

      good to know. I organised this because I couldn't go to the other ones, too.

  • patryn on 03/11/2024 - 12:05
    +1

    We've reached 15 registered! If you still want to come, post here, and I'll see if I can change the booking next week to increase the number.

    • dstar378 on 08/11/2024 - 12:57

      Yes please, can you pls add me in :)

    • ninni on 11/11/2024 - 15:34

      Hi patryn, did you get around to changing the booking to accommodate for more numbers on the waitlist or does the original cap still remain at 15?

      • patryn on 12/11/2024 - 11:53

        was able to up it. :)

  • Firefly on 06/11/2024 - 08:59

    Just saw this event but I would love to attend as well!

  • Jeffas on 07/11/2024 - 10:00

    Hi

    I'm having trouble registering for this event.

    My login details which haven't changed say its not recognized. I had to resign up again to ozbargain with the same email address.

    Now it says I'm too new to register for this event. Can someone help with this?

    Also there is a wait list as 15 people can only come and 19 people have registered. Is there any possibility a few extra people can come?

    • patryn on 07/11/2024 - 10:19

      This will need to directed @scotty
      I can't make that call.

      As for more people, I'll be making a call to the venue next Tuesday to add more seats depending on how many people are wait listed. Hopefully there's no issue with that @scotty?

    • CodeXD on 07/11/2024 - 10:49

      You will need to use TWAM to get your account back

      I had to resign up again to ozbargain with the same email address.

      That means you did not have an account with that email address in the first place. Or you have created an account but never logged in, and that account gets removed after 7 days.

      • Jeffas on 07/11/2024 - 11:19

        I have definitely signed up as I have been receiving emails from ozbargain for years. I am not lying.

        • scotty on 07/11/2024 - 11:20

          You've signed up our daily newsletter? That does not map to an account on OzBargain. Do you receive any other emails from OzBargain?

          • Jeffas on 07/11/2024 - 11:22

            @scotty: Yes I get the daily newsletter with all the bargains. I got the invite to the meetup event also. I can send you a screen shot of it. If I'm not invited that's fine.

      • Jeffas on 07/11/2024 - 11:20
        -3

        If I'm not welcome in the community that is fine. I have definitely been getting emails from you guys for years but unsure why my email is not getting in. Honest. I don't need a free meal anyway.

          easy on the guilt tripping mate

  • Jeffas on 07/11/2024 - 10:06

    PS I have been an ozbargain member for many years and receive all the newsletters daily. So unsure why I couldn't log in.

  • Jeffas on 08/11/2024 - 15:27

    Hi Patryn,

    I have sent u a private DM after discussing with Scott.

    • patryn on 12/11/2024 - 11:54

  • Jinnyboy on 12/11/2024 - 11:48

    Hi, can i please join ?

    Didnt realise there was one closer to home please. Begging you to increase cap for list.

    • patryn on 12/11/2024 - 11:53

      • Jinnyboy on 12/11/2024 - 11:54

    So I was able to up the limit to 27 to fit everyone on the waitlist.
    Please make sure you attend or remove your registration as early as possible so others can take your spot.

    • Firefly on 12/11/2024 - 11:58

    • Ametric on 14/11/2024 - 14:20

  • Jinnyboy on 12/11/2024 - 12:00

    • tumsum on 12/11/2024 - 12:01

      • Jinnyboy on 12/11/2024 - 12:01

    Hey Guys,

    As this maybe everyone's 1st event or in person event and people dont know each orher i was thinking of maybe an icebreaker..maybe if everyone after dinner wants to introduce themselves and maybe give a helpful hint on how u find a bargain or save money.

    For example it could be supermarket specials, how to find a cheap air ticket or hotel, online specials, getting a cheap home loan or the best credit card deal.

    Just some ideas.

    What do u guys think?

  • dookar289 on 12/11/2024 - 19:02

    joined the waitlist for this one, it's super local to me. exciting!

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 13/11/2024 - 21:25

      Our system shows that you attended a meetup using a ghost account, Vince 100% of the IP address were matching.

      Please don't make any more ghost accounts in the future, please. There's a cap of 2 meetups per person. Actual person (not per Ozbargain account). Thanks and regards

    Thank you for organising @patryn. I enjoyed the food and met plenty of lovely people who have shared great tips on getting good deals.

    Thank you for organising @patryn, it was nicely done and the food was decent as well. It was nice to meet orbargainers in real life!

    A personal thank to @scotty and the team of allowing those events to happen, greatly appreciated.

    Thanks @patryn! Fun night and great location. I enjoyed the food (great when you can choose whatever you like and how much you want) and chatting with fellow OzBargainers!

    Thank you @patryn for organising at a convenient location with lots of food. Had a great time chatting & put a face to fellow Ozbargainers. Look forward to the next event.

    thanks @patryn for organising this event! i'll definitely try to host one next year.

    Thanks Patryn for organising! Great venue, great food and met lots of lovely people!

    The group seemed to mix really well and i was wondering if everyone was interested in a small whatsapp group chat group?

    I would be happy to organise if people interested and people could DM me privately so i could add u into the group chat so people dont need to put their phone numbers here.

    What do u guys think?

    • bhakharvadi on 20/11/2024 - 16:49

      I am happy to join, couldn't come yesterday, didn't know as I was on waitlist 😕
