scuzzii Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Folks, a few of us Sydney-siders are discussing a possible trip down for the hifi show. Are there any planned GTGs on the Sunday? Also, and it may be in a different thread or too premature, is there a dinner on Sat night? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martykt Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Would definitely be great to catch up with some you Sydney-siders, hope you guys do make the trip. Though probably right about being a little premature. We probably don't tend to plan things down here quite as far in advance as you Sydney-siders, suppose you could even argue we organise things last minute sometimes..... I'm sure it will be good though !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted January 18, 2017 Administrator Share Posted January 18, 2017 @Luc was talking about organising something, or maybe he was talking about crashing someone else's organised event @evil c is our social coordinator, by self appointment. Maybe he can offer suggestions? Not premature at all. It's good to be well organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Already been talk of a Sat dinner party and as the show is damn near a year off I reckon that something will be well organised by then, I've had a few chats already behind the lines about it. If no one in Bleak City puts their hand up by then to organise it then I'll do it, it aint that hard. Plenty of time though John. Also plenty of time to organise GTG's too. If you and some of the crew from Mark's GTG's all come down then I'm sure there will be a place for you on that Sunday somewhere,( @joz you need to do an out of towners gtg... ) although that Sunday is a Sunday Too Far Away at this stage... Edit: *Happy to organise if needed. Clive did a fantastic job last time with the Coopers do. Edited January 18, 2017 by Luc 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzii Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 looking forward to it! We may actually get to meet face to face Lee @Luc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm sure we will John. I'm buying my tickets shortly and a little further down the track I'll book my flights and I think after being there last year and chatting to Marcthe other day(here online) that I'll book into the Mercure for a few days as well. A week in Bleak City is always a pleasant experience and I always enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk Just on that, doing our due diligence regarding the date, we rang around Melbourne hotels. We were assured that only hotels in the immediate vicinity of Flemington Racecourse see any extra bookings, and the rest of the hotels don't charge any sort of premium that weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
