I have a friend who owns a pub in Hatfield, Pretoria. If we can get anough people together he won't mind having a private party just for us. The question is whether the Joburg people would be willing to travel to Pta, get pi**ed, and be able to make home again the next day.
I have no fear of Blue Bull country - there are many places for me to crash there... As long as I don't have to hear any Stoffmyer songs

It has been decided that the meet up would take the form of a chess theme party, and the last 6 persons to pm me will have to dress up like Queens.
Please PM me with your preffered location and date. (that is if you don't want to wear a dress and a chastity belt)
It would have to be next year, I think... maybe early December this year?
How about it?

Early December and End January/beginning February.
Any more takers?

Originally posted by LucardoYou're never going to get agreement. Just name a date early in December before the country closes, choose a logical place and set it at that. Perhaps two venues would be better - one in CT and the other in Gauties. Same date and we can send crappy digital camera pics to each other - perhaps have a group game by SMS, which could be cool. Kapies vs Gauties. And then rinse and repeat for early Feb.

I'm on the wagon this season so distance is not a difference to me. But the Blue Goose in Beyers Naude Drive, opposite Cresta has nice outside tables and there's a bunch of eastern Europeans who play there Saturday afternoons. Coffee drinkers all of them, but chess is not strange to the establishment. Logically, somewhere around Midrand/Kyalami would be middle distance.

Originally posted by buffalobillYup. We could organise to meet every 4 months or so in Gauteng and any bergies can join us here if they so wish...

How about Saturday the 16th December 2006?
Originally posted by buffalobillThat has to be the best idea any-one has come up with yet. Would the Gauties be inerested to put a little side bet on a game like that?
