gundar:
Technofreak: That was very decent of you to put yourself out and do the market research.

TBH, I walked in and straight out. It's not where anybody wants to present a product (unless you are selling it by the pole) and I would think it highly offensive for Geekzoners of the female persuasion to be invited there (let alone children, gah, family restaurant, really? I am old fashioned).

a) Geekzoners of the female persuasion actually exist?

b) Now how am I going to use my Grabone voucher for them?

a) They most certainly do. Including our newest moderator jevvv.

People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Ok on the discussion re Juggs. Lets leave that out then.
Im still tending to Good George- good beer range and the food is good.
We would need obviously to have our own area. It can get quite noisy and busy in there.
Id appreciate help from any other locals

Ill ring Good George tomorrow to see availability etc

Mission accomplished: I don't want to go there again.

ROFL, so Hooters was optimistic as far as the 'family' atmosphere goes?

How does the menu look for Good George.
Ill try and negotiate a deal on the Pizza due to number of people.
Looks like 10 at least showing interest.
Ive put a link on the Geekzone Facebook page as well

Good George have come back to me saying that the Pizza deal can be if we by 2 pizzas then they would give us 2 for free.
This seems a reasonable deal to me.
Any thoughts on this??
See the above link re menu prices. Average Pizza price is $22.50

Another possible location is House on Hood.
Think they have good pizzas.
Probably a bit more room as well

Diarised and confirmed.

Thanks

Should we setup a survey to find out what people think of the venue / experience and what they would like to see at other get togethers?

Sounds good Chris. I'll submit my Visa application for travel south of the Bombay Hills. Should be sorted in time.

You'll need to pass the oral exam - can you say "Of course people should mow their own berms!" without cursing the council?
