Title: ACTBus social gathering?
Post by: Stan butler on June 15, 2019, 05:42:40 PM
Anyone interested in a social gathering at some convenient place for all? Maybe a cheap meal, cafe, drinks etc.

Could sit at a cafe/bar near an interchange and watch buses go by and talk transport or whatever.

Just an idea.  Anyone up for it?

Considering some/most of the users here would prefer to keep their privacy, this is unlikely to happen.

Personally I don't mind (otherwise I wouldn't be splashing my name everywhere). Also if you didn't know, the ex-RATEC committee members still have their social monthly luncheons on - Private message me for details.

I may consider attending this event if it is held during a weekend or evening during which I am not in Batemans Bay; however I will not consider attending if the location of this event is the McDonald's restaurant at the City Interchange.

I wouldn't say that....what I would say is that at least three or four of the regular posters (or former regular posters who are still very much a part of the wider ACT Bus community) are shift workers and when you are doing shift work it does become very hard to organise these things at a time that suits everyone.

So how about a handsup for some type event for a weekend in the next few weeks?  Who is In?

- not in maccas ( can't recall the last time I was in a maccas anyway and to be frank, maccas is not a place i'd Also not like to go to)
- preferably at lunch or early to mid afternoon
- somewhere convenient (maybe city interchange - or even smiths bookshop or some other similar type of place)

Any ideas or preferences?

I'm in, but would rather discuss the actual meeting times and what have you in a private conversation. This is a public forum after all, god knows who could be watching.
