I think it might be high time to take this GZ shenaniganry offline again, preferably with some imbibition of the nectar of the gods at a local beer hall here in the Mighty Manawatu. Any GZ member is welcome of course!


If we assume a Friday/Saturday night, I am tentatively looking at August 20th/21st or 27th/28th. Let me know if either of those options works for you!


For locale, Brew Union has been a winner on previous occasions, but we could go anywhere within stumbling distance really, so happy to take direction on what works for those interested


 


 


Mods, apologies for my poor attempt at humor in title cluttering up your clean forum. I will drink >=1 beer in an act of self-flagellation.

I am talking to Vodafone this week on how to proceed with pizza in at least one location.

Thanks for organising this, ShinyChrome; I’m keen, and at this stage either of those weekends work for me. That said, given I’m 18 months closer to the grave than at the time of the last catch-up - and I know what that did to my internals - I’ll need to take it slightly easier this time around!

Edit: another vote for Brew Union from me.

Funny you posted this. I was thinking to myself it was high time we organised another get together. Any date for me is fine, as is the location. I do like Brew Union and I think they do the best beers in town but happy anywhere.

I’d be keen, depending on which of the two weekends it was (kids 9th bday on the 22nd).

 

Fridays are good (to get outta kids sport on Saturday morning), although no preference either way.

 

@maoriboy won’t you be at brew day the second weekend?

Ohhh yes. The 28th is Brew Day, a beer festival being held in Palmerston North. Dare I suggest combining the two?

Thanks for the interest everyone, it will be great to see you all there and even put a few more user-names to faces. Since no-one seems to have any major conflicts, would the 27th/28th work for everyone?

 

For you folks coming from out of town, would a Friday or Saturday work better for travelling? 

 

Interesting idea about brew day @maoriboy, what do others think of that? Details here.

Doors open from 12 and it rolls through to 6pm. Let me know if anyone is keen as I already have my ticket sorted. I'll even send you a referral link that will help me out if a number of you buy 😁

 

If not, I'll see you at Brew Union, possibly in bloody fine spirits hahahaha

Same. I am not up to wonder around aimlessly.
