Sydney CBD after-work drink meet up
 
I was wondering whether anyone has ever successfully organised a Sydney CBD meet up before? Nothing too complicated, just an after work drink or something :beer:

Me and the OH have been in Sydney for around 4 months now & quite fancy meeting some more people. I figured that there are probably lots of thirsty people working in the CBD who might be free for an after-work drink.

Does anyone fancy it?

I do. I have to come through the CBD on my way home, so a stop off for a swift (or longer) ale is always good. When did you have in mind?

Myself and some others have been meeting semi-regularly on a Thursday evening at 6pm in Strattons bar on Castlereagh Street, and will no doubt be meeting there this Thursday coming. Feel free to drop in if you want, or we could arrange something earlier in the week.

Strattons Bar on Thursday sounds good - we'll definitely come along this week if you're meeting this week. I'll send you a PM to confirm.

If people are interested in organising another meet-up, we could do this too. I don't have a particular time/place in mind, I was just wondering what the interest levels were like. So if you're keen, do say so.

Me again! I'm always up for anything that involves getting out and having a few beers. Weeknights or weekends, I'm fairly flexible...

There are some nice CBD bars, so we should try and get something together. Maybe arrange a bit of a crawl around some of them?

Any takers?

A Saturday night meet-up would also be good. When are people free? Personally, I can only make Saturday 21st October, after that I'm not free again until Saturday 18th November...(off on hols, lucky me!) but you guys go ahead if that makes things difficult. There's always next time!

The 21st is good for me. Anyone else?

Cool, so where should we go? All suggestions welcome... I'm not really sure I can recommend anywhere - haven't explored enough!

For those of you coming to Strattons Bar on Castlereagh Street, Sydney CBD this evening, I will be there from 6.

I am about 5'8" with dark brown, short spiky hair. I will probably have glasses on unless I lose them today. But most of all I will be wearing a black and grey monochrome Union Jack short sleeved shirt, so that should give you a clue. I may even wear a Swer-O name badge too...

I have had a number of PM's from members asking if they can come - of course you can - it's open to one and all. If everyone that has contacted me shows up, then we should have about 10-12 people, so it should be a good evening.

Looking forward to meeting you all later.
