SYD GEN Y meetup, not restricted to gen y's - Nov 5th @ Chatswood RSL

[Gee Cee]

If I can get the bus from the retirement village I may be able to attend

But please is someone available to help me up any stairs.

And will anyone be wearing skimpy stuff. it is not good as i have a bad heart

 

[Somerville]

Yeah, Monkey is OK. I'm just so sick of the bogans who hang out at the entrance there everyday.

I'm happy with Orchard or Monkey. How about a Wednesday in a few weeks?

I'm in.

 

[Sim]

I don't know either establishment - so someone else is going to have to choose.

 

[mja]

I travel down from the Central Coast to St Leonards (by train) - so somewhere near the Northshore trainline would be great

Sim - I think I'm Gen-X - ('79??)

I'd love to get hubby along - he just listens to my nonsense all the time - I'm sure he'd love to get the reassurance from others - so if it was somewhere near some accomodation, we'd probably stay the night.

Cheers,
Jen

'79 is Generation-Y in my book. Can't you tell I was born the same year? I just call myself a Gen-Y to buck the trend.

Dinner and or drinks sounds like a marvellous idea.

I second the North Shore. Killara Green Gate is a fantastic pub, the The Greenwood at North Sydney if you want something more central to the CBD...

Look if you are 79 you are not even a Baby Boomer.

Best stay at home on the Central Coast and do some knitting before bed. Instead of all that travel by train

I spent some time living in Mickleham, VIC - and I certainly learned that the oldies can party just as hard (if not better) than the rest of us!

Seriously though, I love RSL's or Bowl's Clubs for a function - cheap food, cheap drinks, good atmosphere - not sure if there's any of those in the Northshore?

I'll probably get booed out by the rest of ya - but they're fun

Cheers,
Jen

G'day JenD,

There's an RSL in Chatswood - about 40 steps from the train station too. Good meals, and a place to just "sit down, have a beer and a chat" too.

I've met up with Somersoftians there before - worked well.... I'll keep an eye on this thread - would love to meet up with some others too (I'm an OLD bloke though - earliest "boomer" - just so's you know )

I don't know about Artarmon or St Leonards though.

Regards,

 

[Witzl]

Chatswood RSL isnt too bad... was there a few weeks ago for a function.
My gf works in St Leonards, so getting out there would suit her for sure.


A wed night is fine with me... maybe the 5th November??

Okay - I'm keen for the 5th November, I have my last uni assignment for the year due on the 3rd, so no problems there.

I assume anyone can go there - don't need to be a member ?

Since I haven't been to that venue before, is there somewhere specific I should mention as to where to meet - ie will it be easy to find us, or is it a bit of a rabbit warren ?

 

[Witzl]

ive only been there once, and it was a little bit of a warren. Perhaps someone with better knowledge of the venue could suggest where exactly in the club to meet?

Or perhaps there is a better suggestion for a club to meet at? Preferably somewhere you can enjoy a counter meal and a beer, and still converse without yelling at each other.

That's key for me too - I don't like having to yell to be heard ... not conducive to good information sharing.

 

[Witzl]

RSLs are usually best for being able to converse freely.... so how about we just make it a date and post it up. We can sort out finer details later

Wed 5th November, Chatswood RSL @ 6pm sound like a good time to do it ?

If so, I'll start a new thread and announce it - and put out an invite via meetup.com

 

[Witzl]

yeah - but perhaps make it 6.30pm to give a little time for travel (for people like me... coming from rydalmere, etc).

I'd post it up as a counter meal, beer and chit chat though, rather than just a drink-up.

 

[Sim]

Okay - I think we have enough to proceed now ... Wed November 5th, 6:30pm @ Chatswood RSL.

I've created a meetup.com entry for it: North Shore Gen-Y Meetup (not restricted to Gen-Y's)

... please sign up to meetup.com if you aren't already a member and RSVP so we have a rough idea of numbers - if we get a lot of interest, we may need to book ahead!

 

[Witzl]

can you also edit the title of this thread to advise people??

 

[Cartoon]

[Cartoon]

[Sim]

... am I going to feel really old at this gathering ?

Where's GeeCee - I need him along to help me feel a bit younger. (He'll be the old guy checking out the girls). Perhaps Les too (although he's more of the kind grandfatherly type).
