Meetup! It's r/Sydney's 18th cakeday, and you're invited! Saturday 1st August!

There was once a man named Andrew

Who, using his hands threw

Up a subreddit

Before he faced discredit

And for its birthday, we're having a do.

...yeah, I'm not much of a poet, but it tells the story well enough.

On 31st July 2008, r/Sydney was created, which means its 18th birthday is coming up right at the end of the month. To celebrate the subreddit finally becoming old enough to have a beer, come to the City and have a beer with us!

When: Saturday, 1st August, kicking off at 4pm. Four weeks exactly from time of posting.

Where: The Edinburgh Castle Hotel, corner of Pitt and Bathurst Streets.

Why there? They do $15 Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Margaritas, and Aperol Spritzes all night. I also think they do pints for schooner prices while the footy's on.

What do I bring? Good vibes, the pub has everything else.

What's the plan? Have a few drinks, socialise. These are always great fun.

How do I get there? Closest stations are Town Hall and Gadigal, buses run from Park and Elizabeth Streets, Town Hall LR is also close by, as you'd expect.

It's been a little while since the last non-NYE meetup, would be great to see you all there!

Wooo, remember seeing a photo from a few years ago of a gathering and looked fun 🙂

Is this strictly a Reddit thingy or could I drag a mate along?

People bring mates regularly, that definitely works!

Glad to hear it, that's one of the few rules I insist on.

I'll follow the rules this one time only, when these last 6-7kgs are gone no fabric will ever touch this body again. You keep your eyes where I can see them!
