Wellington Skeptics in the Pub - First ever meeting!

Kitty O'Shea's (map)

Selected By: Unifex

From the discussion at the NZ Skeptics in the Pub site:
OK, we need to make some decisions, so by the authority vested in me by people I haven't even met yet (namely Gold), I called around and Kitty's will work well for what we want; every bus in Welly passes right by it, it's right at the base of the pub district, and it's fairly quiet (upstairs, anyway), with good beer at decent prices. If it's warm, it's got a nice balcony area that overlooks Courtney place. Also, they have no special plans for Thursday, so there should be plenty of room (upstairs holds 30-40). It's also the place where local Pharyngula fans have been meeting up for a while now, and there will be a handful there to join us, I think.

also, it looks like Thursday is the general preference. For those that can't make that day, we'll probably hit the same pub Sunday after the conference finishes.
If you get lost, most people you'll meet know where the pub is, and everyone knows where Courtney Place is, so just ask. Folks are quite neighborly 'round these parts.

    Hmm... there doesn't appear to be an option for the organisers to vote on the RSVP question.

    At this point I'm a +1 for the Sunday meetup also.

    Typically, conferences I've been too announce informal wrapups on the last day, usually at the beggining of the first talk on the last day, or right before the first intermission. Maybe we could slip in a notice there? Otherwise, I'm sure there will be time to mention it.

    oh, also, the kitty's meet is upstairs. I'll be wearing an orange wool cap.

    You're close. Shall we meet up at Kitty's a bit early so we can chat a bit?

    Looks like the next one will be a wrapup on Sunday afternoon just after the end of the conference (around 2pm). Things look good for having it at the hotel bar (the Kingsgate). Confirmation tomorrow.

    cheers!
