2024

Anyone planning anything for 2024 yet? Public transport is now free every Sunday btw [1], not just the first of the month. - Evad37 [talk] 22:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meetup 81

@Bjenks, Calistemon, Dan arndt, Dwertyorga, Evad37, Gnangarra, JarrahTree, Mitch Ames, Pauline Joseph WA, Samwilson, and MavropaliasG: Hi all! I've set a date for Meetup 81, ie Sunday 23 June 2024, as it's six months since the last Perth meetup. My suggestion is that we use the same venue as for the last one (WA Museum Boorla Boola Bardip cafe), but I'm open to suggestions. Public transport is now free every Sunday. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahnfrend: Thank you for the invite but I won't be able to make it. I will be in the Pilbara that weekend. Calistemon (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

not available on the 23rd the following Sunday on the 30th would be better. Gnan garra 13:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahnfrend: The 23rd sounds good to me, or the 30th. Sam Wilson 13:08, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahnfrend: I'm flying out to Japan on the 18 June - will be away until middle of July. So can only attend in spirit. Dan arndt (talk) 13:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Either 23rd or 30th works for me. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I can't make it on 30 June, so this meeting will have to be on 23 June. However, I'm going to suggest that we revert to monthly meetings from now onwards, with the next one probably on 21 July. Bahnfrend (talk) 05:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahnfrend: Monthly again sounds good! I updated the meetup page to add the cafe; sounds like that's confirmed. Also added an event page to the WMAU site, so it's listed in coming events there. Sam Wilson 15:04, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Sam. I think your choice of venue is fine. See you at the meetup. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meetup 82

@Abelidoko49, Bjenks, Calistemon, Dan arndt, Dwertyorga, Evad37, Gnangarra, JarrahTree, Mitch Ames, Pauline Joseph WA, Samwilson, and MavropaliasG: The consensus at Meetup 81 was that we should revert to monthly meetings as in the leadup to the pandemic. Sundays are the suggested days. How about we make the next one Sunday 28 July, at a CBD venue TBA? Bahnfrend (talk) 09:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bahnfrend: Sounds like a good date. Thanks for organising! Sam Wilson 12:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That works for me. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going back to monthly meetings is good. JarrahTree 12:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe possible if its in the morning, but I have to leave before high noon. Gnan garra 13:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've now created the page. Bahnfrend (talk) 06:39, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone be interested (weather depending) in a a bit of a photo walk before or after? I was just reading about manhole cover documentary and thought we could do something like that. Sam Wilson 05:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and it turns out to be the Commons July challenge! Sam Wilson 08:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Evad37 [talk] 23:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Evad37: Thanks! Good idea. Sam Wilson 00:05, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that - there are some suggested alternative dates and venues with reasons -

October - Sunday 6th October - to celebrate time changes in daylight saving in South Perth

November - Saturday 2nd November - to coincide with Maritime Day in Fremantle

December - Sunday 8th December - to have early christmas end of year in Perth

any other ideas? JarrahTree 00:27, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea about the Maritime Day. Sam Wilson 01:28, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'm not too fussed – but 6 October isn't that much notice (and is daylight saving something to celebrate? 🤔) - Evad37 [talk] 23:29, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was very good to get them up - the idea was to have days early in the month, and the November day fits with a real life event, (it has been a long time since we had an event near the zoo, also the sense of daylight saving that is rarely celebrated by anybody in any way) JarrahTree 00:36, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
