Default !!!!! Melbourne August Meetup !!!!!
So having discussed with most of the members that attended the July meetup, it was decided that we will have a night out. The plan is to head to DT's to watch some shows and enjoy an awesome night with everyone!

I realise we discussed late July, but due to much consideration, it has been pushed back by one week. I hope this is ok with everyone!!

************************************************** *DETAILS****************************************** **********************

Date: Saturday, 4th August 2012
Location: DT's Pub - 164 Church Street Richmond
Time: 10:00pm

************************************************** ************************************************** ************************

Let us know if you're interested! Or I guess just rock up and I'm sure you'll find us! Will let you know what I'm wearing so you can identify us easier closer to the date!! Hope to see some more of you guys there!

I'm new and just wondering whether this will cater for the whole LBGT spectrum? :-)

Hi Princess Renee!

First of all, Welcome to the forum!!

I most certainly would welcome anyone to join us!! I don't know that much about DT's itself and how that/this particular meetup will cater for everyone in the LGBTI community, but our meetups are certainly not exclusive. If anything I'm hoping of one day getting people from the 'whole spectrum' to come to a meetup. But I guess it will require a lot of advanced notice for everyone/pre-planning... (probably will be more successful in the warmer seasons).

Unfortunately the most I can do is organise these and hope people turn up >.< Of course, there's always the usual group that come along and new faces as well!! If you know anyone interested in coming along, please feel free to bring them!! I know that doesn't particularly answer your question, but it's a difficult one to answer.

Thanks Stouey :-) I'd definitely like to come meet some new people. I'm still relatively new to the scene and yes, the forum... Still a little shy too :-[

I don't mind dressing down if I must. A bigger attendance as you say would require more planning and of course, time; which is hard to come by. Should I have issues attending I'll make the next one.

Take care :-)

RichD: Haha awesome Rich! Will see ya then buddy!

P.Renee: Well let us know if you can make it Princess Renee!! I hope you can! but there will definitely be ample opportunities later as well if you don't! It's fully understandable that you may be shy about coming to a meetup! I know I was almost freaking out before I met some of the people here who are now my closest mates!! Will definitely do a more chilled out, relaxed saturday arvo sometime come summer when we have sun, bbqs etc...

Sam27: Oh thats a shame! you sure you can't delay your return by 1 more day?!?! I mean, who flies back on saturday!?!? =P I swear we've gotta find a day when you can make it!! >.<

Count me in. Ive never been to DTs, so the whole thing will be a new experience for me. And the best part, I get to do it with a whole bunch of complete strangers.

Evidnetly that is the case.

You know, truth be told, Ive been told on more than one occasion that in actual fact, you are somewhat of a nice person Ernesto, albeit maybe a little bit of a keyboard warrior at times. And life is far too short to have enemies. So yeah, a drink is on me.

By simply coming along. Stouey is probably best placed to say this, but the impression I get is that these get togethers are very informal and relaxed, and anybody is welcome to come along.

Im actually very much looking forward to perhaps finally, after many false starts, getting to my first meet.

gdazfan - Hahaha, feel free to share those stories gdazfan!! but in any case, hope to see you there! If not, perhaps the next one!???

tomle/Brad_Woodford - That's exactly right Brad! It's not really a joining process,... it's just - come along if you feel like it and enjoy the company of fellow Same-Samers! It definitely is very informal/casual social meetup.

Bronnie - You are most welcome to come along Bronnie!! I believe you're not alone there with being new here! It appears there will be a number of new people coming along this time so the more the merrier! Feel free to bring others along if you'd like! and welcome to the SameSame forums!!

Just wish to say the July meet-up was really friendly and casual. As the founder indicated the more the merrier; those considering should just come along and say hi! I got the sense the group would do well with folk from the entire LGBT spectrum.

P.S. Stouey/MrFunke: if you are keen I could pitch in to help organise/promote this as a recurring event series. As you explained to me before, but also in my work I see so many individuals in this city, highly functional, and yet isolated. Hopefully this can be a tiny oasis to some...

Cheers
