OCAU/DGA meet - expressions of interest?

17 public posts in this discussion.

Post 1

Upon trying to stir the NT members of OCAU into action, Ive given up prodding them for a while. I thought I might have more luck getting members from here, and even some of you that are also members of OCAU interested in a meet.

The main plan at this stage is to hold a BBQ and have a casual social event. It would be BYO booze, of course :p

Im looking for suggestions for venues (my house at mcminns lagoon, lee point - do they even have bbqs at lee point?, howard springs nature park), and a general expression of interest.

As Ive stated on OCAU, even if we get as few as 5 people interested, I would still call the meet a success :)

For those of you that are OCAU members, please jump into the thread here:

I don't think there are many Darwin guys that frequent OCAU :p

Though I reckon you could probably get a meet if it was in Darwin rather then Howard Springs, that's a bit of a travel for a lot of people.

what possible venue's do you know of? How much do they cost? How many people do you expect to get?

we're planning a bbq, not a paid venue :p just a bbq in a park or on the beach somewhere. im taking suggestions for bbq areas.

im figuring most of the NT OCAUians (I do know of quite a few) are at the v8s this weekend, hence why I mightnt be getting much of a response :sad:

oh :p well i took it for granted that i was sure there would be a great deal of people who are on both ocau and dga. i didnt know if the NT people were more active here or on dga, so i decided to try and organise a joint meet :)

Im looking at the bbq down the end of Lee Point Rd. If anyone can suss it out for me over the next few days thatd be awesome, if not Ill con my parents into driving me down, mmmmk? :p

As far as food goes, would people prefer to bring a donation of food (ie, someone brings some sausages, someone else brings buns, condiments, drinks, etc) or would you prefer i buy the lot then we split the money between us?
