Thanks for response folks. After more than 1000 views, good to see 3 replies. If we are looking at dinner meet on 31st Aug, please share your venue choice(s).

In last few years, lunches(sat/sun) have seen less turn-out than Dinners. Plus sunday afternoon is siesta time for many, don't want to overload themselves for upcoming week. Lastly, keeping pune tradition, some members have DND between 1 pm to 4pm.

If people don't mind long drive then we could think of Hotel Sandeep in Ahmednagar which serves lip-smacking veg and non-veg food options.

This is a good for day drive/ride. Let's visit this once your bike arrives.

Count me in. I am fine with both dates.

Unfortunately, I could attend any of the meets in last few years so I was unaware of this phenomenon!

Saturday dinner is fine too but then I feel the venue could be closer to the city. Or even something like Grand would be perfect.

I'll prefer something not too far from the city (I'll be riding rather than driving). Also, hate riding long distance after sumptuous meal so would have to eat light in case we go far.

Lastly, keeping pune tradition, some members have DND between 1 pm to 4pm.

I have a working on 31st so if at all a dinner meet is planned on 31st I am in for the meet. What say about the usual Sunny Da Dhaba. Good parking for bikers. Or else other members can suggest if there is something better on the other side of the city with good parking space.

Sorry to disappoint you mate this time.




P.S. Looking at venue, it would be better not to involve family/kids for this meet. I am aware folks like sameer wouldn't be pleased with this & I might have to run for cover.

Thanks to Suhas (Sukiwa) for alerting me about this meet.

[coriollis]

I will have to let this one pass... Ganpati preparations will be in full swing on the home front.

So please somebody else volunteer for the AKBC pose...

Cheers

mai aau kya madat karne? Should I come over for help?

LOL, however we want you in that pose.

[moralfibre]

I shall try and come if I am in town.

[selfdrive]

Any opportunity to attend virtually?
Social media call would be doable? I am not in town, so that is the best I can do.
