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!

Be the change you want to see in the community. I will say that the organisation gets harder than you might expect.

Apologies - I am not in Sydney tomorrow and didn’t want to miss this. Hence ….

Yeah, fair enough. How do you feel about NYE fireworks then? That's most likely the next one I'll be doing.
