Hi everyone

Did you decide at the last meeting if you would move the day of the monthly meetings? Some people were not able to make the first Wednesday of the month.

Also, will this month's meet up be at a restaurant again? La Pineta?

Thanks
Bridget

Hi Bridget,

We found La Pineta to be too much of an upscale restaurant vibe. The thoughts were of another location, the name eludes me now. Maybe the others remember?
Also we decided to keep the first Wednesdays (right guys?)

Hi all

Yes, as far as I remember 1st Wednesday stands.
And La Pineta, while a great restaurant, turned out not-so-good for our meetups. We in fact speculated about going back to Buena Vista.

Though I personally hope we dont go back to Buena Vista and I think there were ideas of places in Somerset-West?

Ok thanks. That makes the next meet up next week Wednesday 3 April - is everyone happy with that? (it is just after Easter)

Is there an agenda of sorts?

Please can I also have restaurant suggestions so we can tie down the location?

Thanks

Does anyone have a restaurant suggestion for Somerset West?

I'd like to finalise the MeetUp page ASAP if you will be meeting next week Wednesday.

Thanks!

I'm actually not sure if I will make it next week.
Not sure who else is planning to be there.

Hi all

Sorry for being a bit late.

Concerning our discussion of venue last time, we agreed that we'll move
it around since we're all distributed.

So, IIRC we said the next meeting will be in SW, then Stellenbosch and
then Kalk bay.

I'm not a huge fan of that place.

I prefer to move away from the more traditional restaurants and back to
pubs, where the atmosphere is more relaxed and a group like us can also
be louder.

Going to restaurants creates an expectation of having to eat (often
people don't want to eat anything) and also makes attending the meetings
more expensive.

Last night for the Helderberg Devs group, we were at the Arksey Village
pub in SW which I enjoyed.

Then there's also the Old Bridge Tavern in SW which has a nice outside
area next to the Lourens river.

I'd therefore suggest Old Bridge Tavern.

My 2c.

Regards
JC

Thanks for the suggestion Rijk.

Can I have an indication of who will be coming please? Otherwise we could postpone to the following week (10 April?).

I will be there. My suggestion for a venue in S-West is Primi Piatti
near the Vodacom Golf Village.

I'm going to update the MeetUp page with the date set for Wednesday 3 April at the Old Bridge Tavern in SW (thank you JC for this suggestion - it sounds nice, especially if it's a pleasant evening and you can sit outside).

Argh! Just opened my email this morning and was hit by a shinami of critical things that absolute HAS TO BE DONE TODAY. Looks like I am going to have to work double-shift today to get it all sorted out. Please accept my apologies, I won't be able to attend. :(
