Impatient1 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I've been wondering how many of us work in the CBD or nearby. I thought it might be good way of catching up. Cheers John Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted January 26, 2016 Administrators Posted January 26, 2016 I'm in Pyrmont. So yes CBD. Quote
Impatient1 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 I figured you did Gav as you mentioned you worked for Google. I am over the pyrmont bridge on Market st so not very far. Will see if a few more reply over the next few days. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted January 26, 2016 Moderators Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Hi, I am not in the CBD, the Office is in "The Shire" but I spend most of time all over NSW both Metro & Rural. I do miss some of the attractions of having a CBD office , so could easily be convinced to head into town, or Darling Harbour for a coffee. Cheers PB Edited January 26, 2016 by PB260Z Quote
Dionysus Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I was in Martin Place, now based in Kogarah. Quote
chris240 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 While where at, any canberrans want to catch up during the day ? I work in Deakin, but I do get out and about during the day.. Quote
marc280 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I'm in Ultimo, so could easily get anywhere in the CBD. Quote
GTI-Z Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I'm on Bond Street just next to Australia Square. Quote
Impatient1 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Sounds like we have a few people around, which is great to see. I'll plot it up and see what's central to everyone. of course It will have to be a sunny day to ensure its worth Pete doing the trip. Quote

Ha Ha, the only catch is will I be in Sydney, I have a LOT of travel in the next month or two. If in Sydney I will be there. Cheers PB Quote
PeterAllen Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) ... I'll plot it up and see what's central to everyone..... Perhaps have it somewhere near a railway station, some of us retirees can probably lash out on our $2.50 'travel-anywhere' ticket. Gee, 'staying back for a few drinks', that bring back some memories PS. Make sure it has good toilet facilities for us oldies! Edited February 1, 2016 by PeterAllen Quote
brent012 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 some of us retirees can probably lash out on our $2.50 'travel-anywhere' ticket. Make sure you have an OPAL card! They phased out most paper tickets including the senior ones I believe. I work near Alexandria, so can probably go to CBD events provided they aren't a lunch thing. Quote
Impatient1 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I work near Alexandria, so can probably go to CBD events provided they aren't a lunch thing. Good points. I was just thinking of a lunch time catch up, mainly because I pick the kids up from school. It's a rare night that I am able to go out during the week Of course, just because I can't make the after work events doesn't mean something can't be arranged without me. At least we know people are around and if you need a chat and advice its not too far. Back to lunch time catch up - there isn't a real middle ground in terms of location, so it may depend on who can attend and the venue could alternate. Gav the first suggestion is 1.1km away which might be a stretch for you. Sakuratei Japanese restaurant - Ground Floor, 202 Clarence St, its got awesome food and it has a garden out the back which may be easier to talk than inside. If gti-z or Andy can't make it then the Pyrmont Bridge hotel could work. It really depends on how flexible people are etc. cheers Edited February 1, 2016 by Impatient1 Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 1, 2016 Administrators Posted February 1, 2016 I'm flexible mate, just depends on the date and if I have meetings around lunch time or not. Quote
andyk_79 Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I can walk to Pyrmont Bridge Hotel if that suits better. Think it only takes me 15 or 20 mins. Quote
Dionysus Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 Not sure if this is an event still being considered, thought I would throw in a suggestion for after work. Harts Pub Happy hour 4-6pm Mon- Fri short walk from Circular Quay station. Quote
Impatient1 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Posted March 7, 2016 I believe everyone seemed keen if it was convenient. I've been preoccupied with other things to even think about organising it. Of course no issue with any one else organising a catch up(s) Quote

Dionysus Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 It's always hard to organise events like this to suit every one. How about Thursday 7th April after work at 530-6pm in town? Its a few weeks away so plenty of notice and gives us time to decide on a location. I'm also willing to catch up for a lunch if my days open, Fridays are easiet. Quote
Moderators PB260Z Posted March 18, 2016 Moderators Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Mate, Will see I am placed with work travel at the time, but will put in my planner. Also, don't forget about this Sunday's run http://www.viczcar.com/forum/topic/14255-sydney-drive-day-20-march-2016/ Quote
