At least we folks can meet, share a few tall tales and get to see each other in the flesh.

Nice idea - everyone will then have 2 options to choose from. But then, having 2 meets very close to each other could have its cons too.

If there is a meet on 27/28/29 around cochin, I am in.

Guys!

I was out for a day in Bangalore and see what!!!

Worry not guys! We will make up a nice and easy plan which suits everybody.

I will be sending another 2nd round of PMs which will make things more clearer I think.

So, Evening guys!

Yeah, with no activity on this thread for a day, I thought the whole plan was dropped.

On which route are the roads better. The one through Salem or the one through Mysore-Sathyamangalam?

jkdas · 17th December 2006, 14:48

w.r.t. Zak's PM of 19-12, I'm confirmed for the 29th evening. Any place is ok for me. I don't drink, so that is not an issue. And I will meet you folks before you leave for the drive on the 28th.

Zak, you really are taking a lot of effort to set this up this meet. Thank you so much! Let's hope this is the biggest Kerala meet so far.

It seems a date after Christmas suits many. So, hereby it is decided that we will hold the meet on the 28th and 29th of December, 2006. Yes, it is not a weekend but it's holiday for many.

What we have planned for this time is to take a drive thru Athirampalli to Valpaarai or Vagamon on the 28th. Then return next day to Cochin and meet up at a cool place by the evening with others and hang out as late as possible. This venue will be decided soon. Count Wytefort if swimming and a free dinner is in the agenda (But the hotel is strictly alcohol free). Other options (with booze) are Brunton's boatyard, Loungevity, Taandav @ Le meridian, Waterfront at Taj Malabar, FortKochi beach side and some more...

Now as we have neared to the proposed date and the Venue is almost final, It's very much necessary to know who is coming and who is not.

Zak

Can I try to arrange the Cochin Gymkhana as a venue? Its probably more difficult to reach for outsiders (and some insiders!), but its a nice waterfront venue with plenty of parking. And we have a bar license!

I can check on availability, though this is the festive season and so the chances are not very bright....

speedzak · 19th December 2006, 11:02

Steer! Why ask?

Please! It'll be very good.
