Meet up / drinks in Cebu

Post new topic

Hello all
I have thought it an idea worth putting out there, would anyone be interested in a meetup in say Ayala on a Friday or Saturday. Just an informal chat once a month / fortnight, time is open but most likely afternoon or early evening. Obviously only of those living in Cebu City (or going to).  Let me know and I will see what I can organize.

Hi Bruce,
Not sure about expat meetups in Cebu but 6 years ago we started a group in Manila through "meetup" and within 5 to 6 months had 170 members, though most were inactive perhaps 10 to 15 participated on and off in social functions, when we came back to Oz I offered the running of the group up to the members with no takers even though we offered to pay meetup fees until we returned in 5 years. Try we did with no takers so closed the group down.

Meetup groups are an excellent way to meet new people and there are a plethora out there.



Administration fees are minimal and online support perfect.
Not trying to sell this mob and we are not involved any more but when we return next year we will probably go down this path to meet new people with similar interests.
If you have any questions ask here or PM me.
Good luck with your new venture Bruce.

Cheers, Steve.

Count me in. If my gf will let me out long enough to participate. 😂😂😂😳 She likes to keep me on a short leash... She keeps opportunities to stray to a minimum. Lmao.....

Thanks to all those that came for a beer and chat.  I might take the suggestion to meet at "The Social" on the top floor of Ayala next time. Any other suggestions welcome.  Might have another in a few weeks time.

Hi Bruce

It would be cool to have a group get-together whether weekly or monthly.  Count me in as I am definitely interested.  Relatively new to Cebu - permanently moved here 7 months ago but lived here for over 2 year a few years ago.

Let me know about the next meet-up

Thanks.  Chau

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for posting this.  I was planning to show up today but have to hang at the condo as maintenance needs to do a repair.  Will try again next week.

Thanks

Hello all
Sorry for the short notice (due to school issue) but I will be in Ayala again today (15th)  from 2pm to around 5pm at "The Social" top floor or any other suggestions. Turn up if you want to or contact me before 12pm and I will give a description. It was great having a chat with pnwcyclist last time.

Hi Bruce.

I really hope to meet up with you but could not this past Friday as my Fiance's son was having his year-end school award ceremony.  Keep me in mind for the future for another opportunity to meet up with you. 

Take care
Bruce

Hello Brucemj.    I will keep posting when I am going to Ayala or S M City so people can join if they want.  Anyone can post their times at any location to see if it suits others.
regards  Bruce

Thanks again
