Get together in Joburg

Roger Saner's picture

It's about time I organised a meetup in Joburg - a "Hi, pleased to meet you, you don't look anything like your online picture and you sound fairly normal in person, pity about the hair," type thing. And also to meet others who might be thinking and doing the same things you are.

So how about Friday, November 16 around 6pm? We can either do it at a coffee shop or at someone's house (someone volunteered earlier but I can't remember who...). Just an informal gathering and good conversation.

Venue suggestions:
Europa in Linden (although it's pretty busy that time...I'd have to book a table)
[Insert your name here]'s house

Let me know who's keen and if that date and time suits, and we'll go from there :)

Count me in - how about Fri 21 Nov?

Count me in! Roger, you said above "how about Friday, November 16 around 6pm?" but Fri is the 14th so I assume you meant Fri 14 Nov.

May I suggest Fri 21 Nov since I will be driving back from Polokwane that afternoon after a week away from my family? My wife and I would love to attend. If the 14th suits more people I'm sure we will still be able to make a plan though.

The Pretoria meetup 2 weeks ago inspired me to start blogging as well. Please have a look at nextchurch.wordpress.com

Thank you for the conversation and for creating opportunities to meet others who are on a similar journey. I have found new hope for the church and a greater sense of urgency to start doing what God has laid on my heart to do.

Doh - wrong year!

Hi Andries

Glad you've started blogging :) There isn't a meetup that I'm organising in Joburg in November - it was last year, actually! But if you want to organise one...?

Yes!

Sounds good, Peter - can I post something in the Joburg cohort group on this site about your next meetup?

Absolutely - would love to chat sometime about your thoughts for 2009. We are facilitating Change agents for next year. Send me some of your ideas.I hope you will still be in the loop. Peter

LOL @ wrong year

Eish, what can I say, missed the year totally there! Anyway Peter just checking, you are meeting in 2008 right? at the Rocket in Rivonia, Wed 26 Nov at 12:00 pm :) I wanted to come to your previous meeting but unfortunately couldn't get away from work. Hopefully next time.
