Are there enough dads here to start a dad's group?

How about getting together and sharing stories over a couple of drinks / dinner?

Just polling the visitors as many of my friends who are recent parents / to be parents have expressed interest in a monthly / bi monthly gathering of dads.
 
Say middle to late August?

There are three confirmations so far. Your husband will make it 4.

10 people would be the ideal sized group.
 
Yea ... I'd like to join. Location needs to be somewhere central to all though as I live in Shatin. Kowloon somewhere possibly?
 
Count me in:) Not a Dad yet, will be in a couple of weeks!

Also living in the Shatin area (actually Fo Tan) so can meet up either NT or Central. However I know from past experience it will be difficult to get the Hong Kongers over to the wild and exotic New Territories. :D

Maybe we could meet up first in TST?

Sounds good with me Kevin. We'll see what the rest of the group say and take it from there. If no one else wants to meet up in TST then I'll guess we'll just have our own little gathering in Shatin somewhere.

Yup ... N.T. sound like somewhere out in the boonies for some Hong Kongers.

Come on guys ... are you up for it? :cheers:
 
Hey Kevin ... forgot to say congrats on becoming a Dad soon. Will you go in with your wife to deliver the baby?

I wish I could of with mine, but becos of the SARS the hospital wouldn't let ppl in the wards or delivery room which was a shocker for us both as we thought we'd be together for the birth.

So my wife had to do it all on her own ... and now we have a 3 month old bundle of joy called Jade. I'm very happy and proud of both of them.
 
Hi Sam, congrats to you as well :D

I hope they will let me in the delivery room, they have said so but reserved the right to refuse if SARS came back.

For meeting up, lets see what everyone says. Been a long time since I was in TST so you will have to suggest the bar!

re Shatin, ever go to Railway Tavern or the other bars in Tai Wai? Managed to get a few Geoexpat guys up there a while back. Maybe we could organise another outing one day, I promise to to get visas for all the HKers :)

Count me in too!

Well TST would be perfect and it's always interesting to catch up with new ppl and share experiences. Dinner or drinks is good. If the group wants a dinner buffet at Hyatt Regency on the Nathan Road, I can organise a half price deal as I work there - full price is around HK$228 at the moment - I'm sure you can do the math. Otherwise a nice bar is cool too. Any other ideas?
 
Ok. TST it is then... spoke to Kevin earlier today and he thinks getting me down (up?) to TST two weeks in a row is pretty umm.. amusing.

Hyatt Regency or Someplace else in the Sheraton sound good.

(10 years in HK and I've never been inside the Hyatt. At Someplace else about 3 times and the Holiday Inn once... so don't take my word for it, I'm clueless about TST in particular..)

How does a Wednesday sound or would Friday be better?

Cheers Kevin. I don't know much about the pubs over in Shatin area, just Shatin Beer at the Hilton Plaza. Can make a wee trip to Tai Wai to visit their fine establishments one day.

Shri & dryice66, TST sounds great then. I agree, always good to meet up with new people.

Hyatt sounds ok. There a nice Brazilian BBQ place up in TST East which has a dinner buffet for $98, then for $38 or so you can have unlimited drinks (includes beer) :cheers:

Or there's some Irish pubs about. I don't know TST much either, just some places here and there.

My wife ain't too keen with Friday but either day is ok with me =P
 
Almost there..

wednesday is usually great for me.
Happy to do Brazilian BBQ with cheap drinks - can't go wrong!
Name the time and place - swap some contact details via the prviate messages and let's hook up....
 
Ahh, Shatin Beer. I remember it well, used to live in New Town Palza just oposite and dropped in there a few times. l little bit too much of the dice games and bad Canto pop for my taste :) Also seem to remember having to go outside to the shopping centre to go to the loo.

I need to take you on a trip to Tai Wai, very close by, we even used to walk back in the evening if it was not too hot. There are also some nice places up in Tai Po woth a visit.
 
Folks,

Wednesday and Brazilian it is.

I'll be emailing everyone on this thread on Saturday night.

Shri
 
Wednesday sounds fine with me.

Yup ... Shatin Beer, that's the one .. u gotta go out, then into the mall and then upstairs to get to the loo.

I've been in a couple of times and on a couple of occasions I opened the door and like there's no one there, just the bar staff. But it does get livelier later in the evening.

Ahhh ... A New Territories pub crawl .. sounds good ... hahaha ... Who's in? :dance:
 
Hi Folks,

I've tentatively scheduled the meet up for this Wednesday, 13th of August. Its tentative as I don't know who can make it -- we definately need 3 or 4 people.

The plan is to meet up at Someplace Else in the Sheraton on Nathan Road between 6:30 and 7:00 (I'm not sure what your work timings are like) and then go over the Brazilian place recommended by Sam.

Brazil BBQ Rest Ltd
1/F, Intercontinental Plaza,
Tsim Sha Tsui East
Tel 2312 2689

I will call them on Monday evening and make the reservations, depending on the responses.

Email me ( [email protected] ) if you can make it and I'll drop you my mobile number.

Shri
 
Doh ... I'll need a rain check for this Wednesday. Almost forgot it is my wife's Birthday this Wed. Next Wed or will we be joining up with the women as some of them seem to be interested?
