[VIC] OzBargain 18th Birthday Free Beer & T-Shirts - Melbourne CBD - Dec 6 from 4:30pm @ Asian Beer Cafe

To celebrate OzBargain becoming legally able to drink now, let's celebrate with free OzBargain t-shirts + a free pint courtesy of the Coastr app. All are welcome to this event.

T-Shirts

As you may know, the t-shirts came in too late this year for the majority of the meetups however I now have them and ready to distribute.

I have 14 small, 24 medium, 19 large , 12 XL, 6 2XL.

Fill in this form with your size.

I've confirmed everyone as of 6/12 2:30pm has been allocated a shirt. (T-Shirt Sizes).

T-Shirt form now closed.

Drinks

Asian Beer Cafe in Melbourne Central

OK, hopefully Asahi doesn't kill the promo before Friday but you just need to sign up for the Coastr app. No payment details needed. If you use a referral, you'll give another OzBargainer a free pint + you'll still get the $20 credit to spend on drinks. However, you can only use 1 freebie a day, so either whatever the weekly special is (free pint of Carlton Dry), $20 credit or the free referral pint. Yeah, so no free pub crawl :(. The app integrates with the venue's QR system that you scan on the table, at least in the one time I used it at Penny Black.

I think ABC should be OK however if there are issues/too busy/whatever, entrance/exit is into Melbourne Central and can work something out.

And the question I get at every meetup. NO, jv has confirmed he will not be attending or using this app.


TL;DR

  1. Hit the attend button below.
  2. Fill out t-shirt form .
  3. Sign up for Coastr app for free beer/drink.

    If there was longer notice I'd fly in for this.

    jv has confirmed he will not be attending or using this app.

    That's because he only attends the NSW meetups :)

    • If @clear is there I’d strongly maybe half consider flying in too

        Cheap pizza with many different options :)
        $5 The adventures of Tin Tin pizza … Unique name for a pizza 🍕 ;-)

      • +2

        Having had the pizzas before, I've had better homebrand frozen pizzas

        • That sounds about right.
          Pre-COVID, you could get some great $5 pizzas all over Melbourne. But now with venues closing left and right, the cost of eating out crisis, and people having less access to disposable income; What you get for $10 is quite MEH in 2024 and beyond.

    • 6pm is a long lunch….

      • Better rename it to happy hours

  • Omg sorry neil I submitted a form for the t-shirts but got date wrong - thought it was Thursday!

    • +1

      Thursday night I'll be in Collingwood partaking in 2 virtually free Promotix comedy shows.
      ALEX WARD - Secret Trial Show followed by Caz Reitop's Dirty Secrets 80 Smith St, Collingwood @ 8pm.
      I can bring a pack or two of Crayola 24 Pack Colours of The World Crayons and 8-Pack BIC Round Stic Xtra Life Assorted Ink Ballpoint Pens.
      If any OzBargainers want to meet up for a laugh and cannot make it Friday.
      Could also provide some well-worn XXL T-Shirts if that floats your freebie boat.

        Will be at the Alex Ward show myself.

  • Ooooh wow they get a free lunch and beer. Happy birthday ozbargain!!

    • +1

      Ooooh wow they get a free lunch

      No free lunch. OzBargain is not contributing anything other than t-shirts.

  • Damn would’ve come but I’ll be at Meredith. Thanks again for organising Neil.

    • +1

      Ha, I got a PM from someone else who also said they can't go due to going to Meredith. Who knew it was so popular for OzBargainers.

      • Not just Oz bargainers. Alex Ward said she was going there as well.

    • +1

      See you there!

      • Might have to dig out an old OzBargain t-shirt and rep.

  • -2

    Love to …but, already committed to free pizza elsewhere. Not going to Meredith…

    I'll just have to miss out on an addition to my T-Shirt wardrobe!

    Have fun. Don't get arrested. We're not in Kansas Korea anymore.

  • If they fill out the form, can I grab shirts for other ozbargain members?

    • +1

      They should make a comment here and fill out the t-shirt form.

      • Thank you Neil. I have filled out the t shirt form.
        Firexx will be picking up for me.
        Cheers.

        • Same for me.
          Thanks Neil!

        • No prob.

  • +4

    OK, T-Shirt sizes see photos

    • I think the front of shirt medium and large links might have the wrong images. The large is showing as smaller than the medium :)

      • The photos are right but I didn't stretch the large properly. It's 54cm across for the large.

  • Would love to go but will be at the Christmas market at Jeff’s Shed. Don’t suppose you will still be there earlier than 4:30 pm or still there ay 9pm? Anyway have a great time.

    • Ha, $6 tix from SFF?

      Don't think I'll be there any earlier. I don't envision I'll be there until 9…but that's what I say all the time when I'm at the pub.

      • Yeah on the tix. I’ll let others get the tshirts. I do have a previous one. Have a great time and thanks for what you guys do.

      • Neil is it too late to ask for two large T-shirts to be put away. One for me and the other for my gentleman? I will send the man ahead to the Christmas market and scuttle over there after picking up the tshirts at 4:30. If they are available do you want us to fill in the forms?

        • I'm just packing them now if you can send me sizes within the next few minutes. Send me a PM.

  • Finally one of the 18 Birthday events I can actually attend and not have work commitments :D

    Thanks Neil for the popup event

  • +4

    Just to confirm. You're all fortunately quite spread out in t-shirt size so everyone who has registered will get a t-shirt.

    However there are now no XXLs left.

    Also I'll definitely be there from 430 until say 6pm so as long as you arrive within that timeframe, happy to give a t-shirt. You can just pick up a shirt and leave. No need to stay.

    • yay!
      thanks for organising again Neil.

    • Ah wasn't 100% sure if I will be able to make it so wasn't going to register, but if there's still t-shirts available anyway I suppose I might try to drop in with the reassurance that there's no need to stay if I gotta go pretty quickly.

      Thanks for distributing but also thanks for the update Neil!

    • Can you confirm who did get a XXL shirt ? Or did no one ?

      • +1

        Everyone will get one. 6 requests, 6 t-shirts.

  • will be 6 ish

  • I'm in the shopping mall section, green t-shirt.

    • Train was running late but I'm in Melbourne Central, just trying to find the place!

  • I’m stuck at work and can’t make it … 😭😭😭
    Every event this year I’ve tried to attend , I’ve had to cancel. Next time! 🥺

    Neil, Thanks for giving the OzB Melb team another opportunity to catch up this year. Appreciate it!

  • Better idea of how long you’ll stick around Neil? I’m at staff function

  • +1

    I'm still here. Will post when I leave

    • Cheers

      • Leaving in 10 minutes. 640.

        • Possible to leave shirt with ABC staff?

          • @DarkProject: Ive hidden it in the venue. Check your PMS.

  • +1

    Neil, thanks for the tshirts. Glad we dropped by to meet you again. The Christmas market is very heavily alcohol. I think I drank my weight in taster espresso martinis.

  • +3

    Big thanks Neil for organizing the T-shirts for all of us.

    Really appreciate the time and effort for the Ozbargain community.

    Both this Asian Beer Cafe and the previous Fortress Melbourne meetup.

  • Ah missed this! Any more shirts left?

    • Yes, will have to think of something in 2025.

  • +3

    OK, thanks for the 16 people who attending.
