*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Zurich
Event Type: Dinner
Meeting Point: Zeughauskeller

EDIT: IT SEEMS FACEBOOK IS THE MORE POPULAR OPTION. IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT ONLY 1 PERSON BEING LISTED HERE, CHECK OUT THE FACEBOOK LINK BELOW


Hi Everyone,

as discussed in this thread, I'm now creating an official event for this.
------------------------------------


Calling all Aussie and Kiwis.

2 years ago we had an awesome aussie get together at restaurant Six, which was owned by an Aussie couple (but who have now moved back to Oz).

The event was a blast and was a great opportunity to meet fellow aussies and kiwis and just let loose on the suppressed slang...

It time for another one of these events.

For venues the following have been suggested to me (now that Six is closed):
Outback Lodge - Stadelhofen/Winterthur
Mama Africa - Hardbrücke
Zeughauskeller - Zurich City

Totally open to other suggestions or just indicate one of the above if you're happy with those suggestions.

Please spread the word and lets get as many of us together as possible

I look forward to meeting you all!

* I will also create a Facebook event for this for those who dont regular come on this forum *

Also, the Wednesday date isnt set in stone. If the Tues or Thurs suits you better just say it and we'll see if we can change it
Here is the Facebook event
RSVP'd Yes: 1 (1 members and No guests)
RSVP sign-ups for this event are now closed.

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

I have to protest at going to the outback lodge, it is not for Australians, see various threads about Australia day for more details. Another maybe is Noon Resturant between the Haupbarnhof and Stadelhofen, it is Lebanese and the food (banquet style) there was great, also for vegos, when we went for a chistmas dinner a couple of years ago. I rang them last week about this last week but have not heard back, I will follow it up. A banquet style anywhere does solve a lot of the bill problems with this type of event and this is about sharing as much as anything else.

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

Hi everyone, due to popular demand the event has been moved one day ahead to thursday. I hope this still suits those that have said yes to the event. Also, if you are going, please respond to this event by monday the 22nd so that I can book in advance for a group this size. And dont forget to spread the word and invite all your aussie friends in CH

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

Hehe Chrisso, Labanese would nearly be appropriate. What do people think? (and is there even a Lebanese restaurant in Zurich? I know of a few Kebab joints, but not a restaurant)

[By the way people, because of the date change you will need to put your name on the list again, if you did it previously]

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

Hi everyone, please indicate your intentions for attending this event by latest tuesday morning. Also, please indicate which venue you would like. Another place that has been thrown into the mix is the Fork and Bottle. If they are willing to do an evening food service it might be a cosy place to have our event

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

Hi everyone. I've booked the group in for 18:30 - 20:30 at Zeughauskeller in Zurich city. Unfortunately they get a lot of bookings so they stack their reservations. So What we can do is continue after eating at a nearby bar for some drinks for those who are interested. I have booked 14 spots. I am looking forward to meeting the new faces.

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

yeah we had a cancellation today so please come along perhaps if you are on facebook, add yourself to the facebook event so that you get the latest info and if anyone posts pics you'll be able to see them.

If there any other late joiners please let me know. I might be able to add a couple of people if necessary.

Cheers

Re: Aussie and NZ get together dinner

Hi everyone,

It will be great to see you all there tomorrow night. Given the table stacking situation which gives us until 20:30, please be there on time so we can make the most of it. The table is booked under my surname (if you require it please PM me and i'll pass it on. I prefer not to publish it on a public forum), but you should be able to follow your ear to all the aussie accents

See you all there.
