Couldn't agree more, and frankly, here lies the exact reason why many old school members no longer attend.

If a bunch of you want to get smashed every month and take pics of each other to post on the internet, then how about organising your own seperate monthly pissup rather than taking over and destroying the SAU northside dinner tradition.

That's basically what I think in a nutshell.

Why are the dinners all about the drinking these days... got better things to do then babysit someone who is vomiting on their shoes again like last SAU event i went to.

News flash not everyone wants to get drunk every SAU dinner and if they were at resteraunts like they originally were then people would have a choice. Having a nice night out with some people with mutual interests or getting smashed with a bunch of random strangers from the internet.

On another topic the great northern is great venue for the FOOD :blink:

Hey I really like the Great Northern for food.. :huh:

They have really nice sundried tomarto pasta :P

maybe we can please all punters and make these events the "monthly pissup"

and then we can go back to having the SAU dinners of old where the goal was to try a variety of different restaurants, a variety of different types of cuisine and to enjoy a few beverages and talk about cars?

I guess I've left the last two early enough not to see them as piss ups. I do think the last two venues were a bit lighter on food than drink but they also let you move around a bit versus a strict sit down facility.

>_<

I've never drunk at a monthly dinner to get drunk, and the car conversation is always happening.

That isolated incident that you guys are talking about was a once-off and it seems to have clouded your perception of the subsequent events.

In my experience it's mostly been what you described it to be.

Some people do go out there and have a few drinks, but it's hardly amongst "strangers from teh interwebs". We know most of the people that come to these personally (and welcome any newbies) and if you guys gave it another chance instead of getting scared off by one incident, you might too.

Anyway, i'll be there, wherever it is.

the man has a valid point.

Can I point out that that last event you went to was actually a dinner that Nick organised......and you cant control peeps that have to much to drink :/ .Then the second was the japanese and then you guys didnt come again :(

The dinners I organise are not all about getting smashed..... just most liked Pub food and a few drinks with there meal....I did try and suggest a restuarant on numerous times but the majority always seemed to prefer pubs...which isnt a bad thing (they do have a great and relaxed atmosphere).There is nothing wrong with pictures??? All it shows is that we are having a good time and makes more people want to come cause they see what fun we have!!!!

You guy have never come to a dinner that I have organised which is a shame cause they are always great fun and every one has a good time...

But this will be the last dinner I organise and im sure some will be happy about this but I think its a bit hard to have 2 dinners every month .. :thumbsup:

I know I had a good time organising them and hope to do it again some day.. :happy:
