Re: Mumbai + Pune BHPians meet - Lunch on 2nd March, 2019 (Sunny's Dhaba). EDIT: Pics from page 11!

Guys, I just did Mumbai-Nashik last weekend. The roads are HORRIBLE! Rains have destroyed them.

Then may be we can stick to the tried and tested Mumbai - Lonavla meet. Pune guys shall too have an equal distance.

We can target this coming Saturday.

Re: Mumbai + Pune BHPians meet - Oct. - Nov. 2019

I suggest we add a poll for the tentative dates. Also one for venue, but one thing at a time maybe.

Only the next weekend would be convenient as the week after it's Diwali. Else we push back to mid November.

Re: Mumbai + Pune BHPians meet - Oct. - Nov. 2019

Excuses for next few Saturdays (and even last one)

12 Oct: was too short a notice Bhai
19 Oct: Last day of election campaign, all places will be filled with you know who
26 Oct: Just a day before Diwali, gharwaale kya kahenge?
2 Nov: Back from Diwali vacation, too tired, have to rest at home
9 Nov: Kids' school restarting, have to make preparations

So, let's keep excuses and sarcasms aside and decide a meet date quickly.

The worst way to decide a Team-BHP meet is ask what date & what place. Takes way too long and lots of unnecessary posts.

Instead, pick a date that has no major clashes with major holidays or known public events, then choose a neutral place. That'll ensure that a majority make it. If it doesn't work for a minority, there is always a next time!

Way back in 2013, this realisation formed the genesis for the Team-BHP meets since organised.

Sift a destination, fix a date and the meet will blossom with those who can make it.

Cheers

Please keep the meet at least 3 weeks from the date of announcement so that a critical mass can be built. You know how much campaigning is needed! Can poll be created for 16,17 and 23, 24 Nov for lunch/dinner and we then start from that?

P.S: Can we invite our better-halves?

May I propose dinner this time, there have been back to back lunch meets I think. Can someone please create a poll? Venue is no issue, we anyways have to select from Tony / Sunny / Sheetal! Count me in for 14 Dec!

Then it has to be an early dinner. And being a Saturday, you may expect Tony, Sheetal and Sunny serving a lot bigger crowd.

1. A good hearty breakfast

2. Drive together up to Noon

3. Lunch at 13:00 hours

4. Meeting fellow members up to 16:00 hours

5. Return by 18:00 hours


Sameer, copy the earlier post and add your name and paste.

Can we then at least move timings to meet at kalamboli by 9:30 am and reach venue by 11? 6:30 am means starting from home at 5:30 and that's really a stretch on Saturday morning. Reason for proposing dinner is that there are many who have working Saturdays and they miss out on lunch. Creating a poll may help in seeing who prefers what.
