Sunshine Coast Meetup - Member Check-in Thread

[kbrookes]

Hello All,

We now have the numbers and a great venue for the meetup:

Time: 7am to 8.30am
Date: Thursday 29 July
Where: La Dolce Vita, Shop 1, Rumba Resort, The Esplanade, Caloundra
Cost: No entry charge, but La Dolce Vita do the best coffee in town and also serve breakfast. (Which I, for one, will be partaking of!)

I've created an open Google Document Agenda for the meeting. Add in anything you like, anyone can edit.

Bring business cards, flyers and your community spirit!

Confirmed members:

• kbrookes
• jeannetreloar
• naturalspawater
• DaveThomas
• Justine Brookes

I apologise to all the members further up the coast - we had so many Caloundra members that it just seemed logical to run the first one here. We'll do the next one somewhere more central.

*** NOTE *** I will be updating this original post as we get confirmations

Hi Kelsey

Thank you for the follow up - I'm definitely interested in meeting up!

I'm both Sunshine Coast and Brisbane based depending on the day so am pretty happy to travel to whatever location is chosen - my base on the Sunny Coast is Ninderry though (in between Yandina and Coolum) so am pretty central to be able to travel to either north or south location.

Look forward to hopefully putting together a group to meet soon.

[kbrookes]

Thanks Brooklin! Your details have been updated.

I've been talking to a few members via private messaging. There's some interest in a breakfast meetup - seems to be a fairly popular networking convention.

Once I've got a few more responses above, I'll start polling the interest in a Breakfast meetup.

Hi Kelsey
Thanks for jumping in to do the organising. I am based in Coolum but a lot of my work is up north so that suits me better.

Thanks
Debbie

I am normally based in Mooloolaba (currently house sitting in Maroochydore) but I work between Caloundra and Noosa and sometimes in Bundaberg so anywhere is fine.

[kbrookes]

Thanks for the replies!

It's looking like we're starting to get a worthwhile set of numbers.

Also, given the responses I've had via email and PMs, it's looking like a breakfast meetup would suit most people.

Please note: I will be constantly updating the first post in the thread with the latest information.

Hi All,

We're making progress, I've had a few members respond to me via PM, so it's looking good for a decent meetup.

I'm also trying to promote the event to more business owners via a few other channels, so stay tuned!

[kbrookes]

Hi All,

We've got eight members confirmed now, so I'll be calling it later today.

There's a venue I'm looking at in a few hours and I'll check back in and let you know the details.

[abacus]

Hi Kelsey
I am in.
