ST Meeting - Friday, 30 January Palmerston North, 5:30pm, The Cuban/Nosh

Hey guys,

I've had some duscussions with fellow ST members and we've decided we all need to have another get together in Palmy.

I have timed it for commiserations/congratulations for CRP holders. I'm sure a happy DIL holder or two will also show up :)

The venue/date/time are not set in stone yet so if you have any suggestions/comments/gripes then post em up or PM me.

We always have a good time and don't bite (too hard...) so feel free to show up when/if you can. The more the merrier!

Cheers,

Big Friendly Goof (ex-Moosie)

Current location/time: Friday, 30 January 2015, the Cuban (part of Distinction Hotel), Cuba Street, Palmerston North, 530pm

Thanks for the early heads up BFG. I will try and make this one. Have not been to Palmy for a few years now so about time to re-visit methinks :)

I'd hate to miss a meeting simply because I don't read the entire forum end to end. Thanks.

Agreed. NZX is the best place for it so people actually see it.

Cheers STMod. Some people think I'm always fretting about this or that. It's all for the greater good though ;)

Sincerely,

Big Fretting Goose

The hotel where the bar is located is called 'Distinction' these days. Used to be the Travel lodge which probably still shows on some sites.

Do some research would ya BFGoof

As it's a Heritage building I didn't note the Distinction ;)

(Has been amended. You must spend far too much time there for yer own good if I walk by it every day and can't get it right!) :D

Hey guys I had a request to change this to Friday evening to accomodate. I'm all good with it as I literally work 50 metres down the road. Anyone object?

Yeah he`s quite a character and a good laugh but he`s got zero interest in the sharemarket alas,despite my efforts.As far as his business goes he`s not averse to taking risks though.Typical brothers,similar in many ways but polar opposites on some stuff!He`s based on the North shore so I only get to catch up with him occasionally......cool re the Friday meeting change by the way.

Ok sweet.

When I head to Auckland at some point this year I'll see if he wants to come to the meet up there. Get a large enough group together and the talk ALWAYS strays from stocks into other subjects (and sometimes the bizarre!)

All good cyclist, plenty more to come :)

I have booked us a table in the restaurant bit so we're all good to go :)

Righto, I have booked us a table in the restaurant as the lounge is already taken for the night. Thought some of us might get hungry too. Look forward to this in a week and a half!

Yeah looking forward to this too. AM going to be arriving in town about 5.30pm so that should work out ok. BFG you know some good places there to stay the night or can you recommend anything? PM me if you have time with something suitable. Cheers

I just realised I have never met any of you... BFG.. can you have an identifier on the table where you are so that I do not inadvertently sit at the wrong table.

No worries Percy, I'm sure we will. If you were I'd have to return the pick up from the airport favour!

Shall I send some Depends to the meet down south since HNZ is right at all-time highs? ;)
