    Would anyone be interested in meeting fellow posters (threaders?) while in SA? I know it will be a logistical nightmare but there might actually be a morning that everyone is in Jhb or Pretoria. I would like to meet some of the regulars - Whisker, dj grizzly, supaeagles, Ric Braz, DanielS as well as Emmex, Pule and Dailyupload etc.

    Best is to pick a date or 2 and to start seeing who is available. A neutral venue would be between Jhb and Pta or a familiar spot like say MonteCasino.

    Any takers?

    hey my name was included .lol:D
    i am in.
    my dates in joburg are - June 18th - june 21st(my birthday, yes a nice cake would surprise me. jk :D); june 23rd - june 25th and july 1st to july 4th
    Would like to avoid meeting on june 18th and july 4th since those are the days I will be getting into SA and leaving SA.
    We could even meet at common matches in Joburg.

    I don't know if you want to include foreigners in the meeting
    But I'll be in Pretoria from the 10th to 13th June, then 16th, 17th and then 23rd, 24th and for the final

    Would be nice idea to set a place and a date

    Good going Gronum, I have also suggest a meet with members of other forum who will be descending in SA during the tournament. If we agree on the date, I can also suggest it to members of other forumers so that we can have one huge party ;)

    Well ,since Pule suggested it to me elsewhere and I suggested it to Gronum then I suppose I'm in:)

    and it seems an ideal day for Jbg.
    June 25 before Spain v Chile in Pretoria
    June 14-16 in Durban
    June 26 -Rustenburg

    We do this all the time in Melbourne,its been a great success.Come one,come all:cool:

    I guess it makes more sense to meet in the Joburg area since a lot of folks are going to be there (atleast the ones who replied in this thread) and also considering the fact that Pule and Gronum live in Gauteng province.
    Like "X" suggested I dont mind meeting on June 20th since I am also going to Brazil vs Ivory Coast. If there are more people going to this game, pls respond but it will also depend on Pule/Gronum's availability on that day.

    Yup - am not flying to Cape Town just for a beer! Not one day is perfect so far - waiting for more replies then will probably suggest 2 days - 20th, 24th or 25th looks the best so far and the 11th for early birds.

    I am in for June 20th or June 24th (iffy since I am trying to see if I can goto the Polokwane match the same day) in Joburg. 25th I leave for PE.

    Who else is in for June 20th or June 24th ?

    Based in Sandton from 6/13-7/1 - supposedly "The Brazen Head" is a 1km walk from my place, so Id imagine that I'll be a semi-permanent fixture there

    POlokwane is just over 2 hours away from Joburg and it shouldn't be a problem espeically if you driving in a car.
