Meetup 95

@Bjenks, Dan arndt, Evad37, Gnangarra, Mitch Ames, Samwilson, AtticEdit, Ridiculopathy, Dwertyorga, and MavropaliasG: The May meetup will be held at the Rose & Crown Hotel, Guildford, on Sunday, 24 May. Gnangarra might like to let us know his availability that day, so we can set the time. Other details are on the meetup page. Bahnfrend (talk) 09:52, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

can do lunch or later if you want Gnangarra 10:26, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Okay, I've set the starting time at midday. See you there. Bahnfrend (talk) 13:50, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

@Bahnfrend probably wise to book a table for 6 people. Gnangarra 03:09, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I will be in Canberra that weekend - so put me down as an apology. Dan arndt (talk) 05:26, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

I'm away for this month, but next month will come. Sam Wilson 06:47, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Meetup 96

@Bahnfrend, Bjenks, Dan arndt, Evad37, Gnangarra, Mitch Ames, Samwilson, AtticEdit, Ridiculopathy, and MavropaliasG: as we zero in on meetup #100, which in a perfect world will occur on 1st February 2027, marking exactly 20 years to the day of Perth meetups. We need to get 96, 97, 98 99 in beforehand. This is what I'm thinking;

• 96 - 11/12 July, or 1/2 August either side of Wikimania
• 97 - 19 September, syncs with the day after ALIA conference
• 97 - mid October
• 99 - Late November
• 100 - Monday 1 February 2027 evening drinks at the Brass Monkey

Any and all thoughts on this suggestion including venues and timing are requested. Gnangarra 10:14, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. After Wikimania might be preferable, as Gnangarra would then be able to tell us all about it. As I've already discussed with Gnangarra, I suggest that 96 be at the newly opened Dave & Busters sports bar in Clarkson (not a long walk from Clarkson station) - it's the first of a large chain of American sports bars to be opened in Australia, so at least some Commons photos of it would be good. Its website is here. Bahnfrend (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

Would have to be closer to 6pm evening on the 1st August as I have umpiring commitments on both days it'll be difficult to reach Clarkson at any other time. Gnangarra 10:23, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm overseas on 11/12 July but will be back by 1 August. Sailing season doesn't start until September - so should be able to make 96. Dan arndt (talk) 11:19, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Those dates sound good to me. I like the 100th coinciding with 20 years! Sam Wilson 02:21, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

@Bjenks, Dan arndt, Evad37, Gnangarra, Mitch Ames, Samwilson, AtticEdit, Ridiculopathy, and MavropaliasG: reminder about meetup 96 – this coming Saturday, 1 August – Gnangarra will be there to wax lyrical about Wikimanida Paris! Bahnfrend (talk) 09:13, 29 July 2026 (UTC)

meetup 97

@Bahnfrend I know we agreed on Murdoch but lets carry that option over to meeting 98, and choose a CBD location close to the SLWA so that we are accessible to conference attendees without them needing to engage public transport. Gnangarra 06:39, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

meetup 98

@Bahnfrend, Bjenks, Dan arndt, Evad37, Gnangarra, Mitch Ames, Samwilson, AtticEdit, Ridiculopathy, and MavropaliasG:. Ok lets make this one a Bar Apothecary thinking late october around perhaps saturday 31st. This leaves us with one more meetup between then and the 100th on 1st of February 2027.Gnangarra 11:02, 28 September 2026 (UTC)

Sounds good to me! That bar isn't even on OSM yet, so that's good. :) Sam Wilson 02:48, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

Sat 31/10 suits me. Gnangarra and I have been there and it's good. Also only a short walk from Murdoch train station. Bahnfrend (talk) 13:43, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

Time? I have another committent for middle-of-the-day on Saturday 31/10. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:40, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

Would love to join, but my visa came to an end last month, and I'm back in Ireland now for the foreseeable. Ridiculopathy (talk) 16:01, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

@Mitch Ames: it opens at 10:30 am saturdays and sundays does this work? Gnangarra 04:32, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Saturdays are out for me - sailing season... Dan arndt (talk) 05:03, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

@Bahnfrend, Bjenks, Dan arndt, Evad37, Gnangarra, Mitch Ames, Samwilson, AtticEdit, Ridiculopathy, and MavropaliasG: Alternative is I have booked for 4 people to walk the freo traffic bridge which opens on Sunday 1st planning to be there before the 9am start time would that interest anyone as the meetup option. Gnangarra 04:32, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

I suspect the bridge will be very busy, and Fremantle very busy afterwards. How about we make the meeting in Murdoch at either lunch time or mid afternoon that day. I'm sure Gnangarra will be skilled enough to take lots of photos of the bridge for Commons ... Bahnfrend (talk) 06:58, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

lets make it a late lunch say 1pm on the Sunday, that gives me time to get some photos then find a bus back to Murdoch. Gnangarra 08:51, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

That works for me. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:12, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

Yep me too. Sam Wilson 00:40, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
