Umm... I've already spoken to Avinash and the only reason I am asking for mobile numbers is because I want us all to first plan the big meet by meeting up for a cup of coffee or something first. We need to decide on a lot of things like date most can make it, time to meet up and where to go... One cant just announce a date and expect majority of the group to be free.

I have also spoken to VivekInY2K and am going to speak to Nitrous in a few. VtecDeGr8 and Kiku, thanks for your numbers and I will get in touch with you both after I speak to Nitrous as he is gonna call me any minute now.

Guys (and girls, if there are any lol), the people willing as of now are...
1. AvinashSheekh
2. Nitrous
3. VivekInY2k
4. V8DeGr8
5. Kiku
6. hrag
7. RaajKS (but he stays in Bangalore and we can only expect him at the big meet, not the planning meet)
8. Me aka MrBoombastic (hehe!)

I say 8 is a great number, but lets wait till we are 10... 10 cars on ECR would look awesome, but first we need to meet up to plan the outing!! Meanwhile, feel free to call me and people who don't have my number, free feel to private message me your mobile numbers and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

PS: Nitrous, don't worry, we will just be meeting up to plan the big meet for now... We need to wait for the damn flood waters to drain from the roads too.

Count me too. Now a days I am shuttling between bangalore and chennai. Please let me know the date. I would be more happy to bring my family (wife + 1 kid). What about you guys?

[MrBoombastic]

I’ve spoken to Avinash, Kiku, Sarvanan, Vivek and Nitrous…. You guys and the rest of you who are yet to get in touch with me, I have thought of the following based on the availability of the majority and have kept in my mind that some of us live in areas that are flooded thanks to the rains…

SUNDAY DECEMBER 20TH DECEMBER 2005 – The date fixed for the planning meet/ get to know each other meet. TIME OF THE PLANNING MEET IS FIXED AT 1400hrs (2pm) – Keeping in mind that most work/ go to college during the weekdays, party on Saturday nights and have family outings on Sunday evenings. ISPHANI CENTRE, NUNGAMBAKKAM WILL BE THE VENUE – The reason for this being that Ishphani Centre offers ample and safe parking, it’s centrally located and known to all.

To confirm and for further details private message me your mobile numbers and for those who have my number kindly call or SMS message me to confirm. Thanks, Chennai Team-BHPians!!

prkothan, it would be a pleasure for us to have a Bangalore Team-BHPian amongst us, most welcome!!!

[vivekiny2k]

way to go tbhp.

[prkothan]

I guess your referring to November 20 . I am fine with it.

Regards,
Prasanna

[AvinashKeezh]

hey islero,
the date is nov 20 not dec.. it was a typo on anands part which he has corrected...
so it wouldn't be a conflict with your schedule but if it is, don't worry we'll keep you posted on the devs...
