Hi all,

It's been a while since we last held a meet up of Sensational Adelaide members, and the last time we did hold one (it was about 2 years ago now from memory) many of the contributors to this forum had not yet joined up here. So now I propose an opportunity for members to meet in an event on topics related to what most of us here are passionate about - the urban environment in the city of Adelaide.

During the Fringe, there is a temporary bar and drinking hole being set up near the Nexus Arts Centre (Morphett Street/North Terrace) and three panel discussions are taking place on topics relating to sustainability and urban renewal in our city over three Saturday afternoons from 4pm - Feb 26, March 5, March 12.

If you are interested, it would be great to nominate a date to meet up and to meet some other familiar forumers or new ones if you've never met any of us before. Howie is always easy to spot.

For those of you who have Facebook, here is the link to the event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=193602630668674

And the event description:

Sprouting up in Adelaide’s West End this Fringe, The Coopers Urban Garden Experiment is a unique space where you can relax and quench your thirst for ale, art and urban renewal.

Greenery, bicycle sculptures, fresh mint, Mojitos, Coopers ales and Saturday afternoon panels on sustainability.

LAUNCH: 6pm - late on Thurs 17 Feb, with Stephen Yarwood, our favourite Adelaide Lord Mayor, as the opening speaker

lol - can't promise both, knowing some of the S-A crowd.

Let's pick a date and go for it...

My personal order of preferences in terms of available dates would be:

12th Mar

26th Feb

then 5th Mar

Could probably make it to a couple of those if anyone is interested in going more than once.

I'll see you at the bar.

I would love to meet all you other Adelaideans!!! I'll try to come and drag the missus along. Is she invited though?

Certainly.

What dates are people in favour of, or is anyone in favour of all of them?

I'm leaning towards the March dates because I have a better chance of getting time off work.

Good to see my reputation proceeds me.

I'm keen to meet you blokes for a quiet one.
