First Copenhagen meetup

I am very new here, but so are many other Danes, it seems.

Within my first two days on this forum three others (@BadHorse, @FBeyer, @cbroenning) have expressed interest in a meetup in Copenhagen so let's give it a go.

How about we meet on a Saturday or Sunday at around 13? We could share some food/snacks as food is usually a good ice breaker, or we could just meet and talk.

Topics to talk about: Who are we and why are we here? tax, how to learn to invest, ERE lifestyle, food, numbers and excel sheet

Here is a doodle to find a suitable day: http://doodle.com/poll/zxa4pyabsw6firab

I will close the doodle in a few days so if you want any influence on when our meetup takes place, pls fill in right away.

Looking forward!

9 posts in and you're organizing meetups!
What's the intended location? Amager, Brønshøj, your place, public place?

Great with so much interest in less than a day!

@FBeyer, well, I suppose I am better at taking action than talking too much. I thought of hosting it at my place, unless the number gets too high or someone else comes up with an offer I can't resist. However, for a start it is more important to find out if there is interest for a meetup (already confirmed) and a suitable day (seems like in August).

Great initiative.

I am planning a remodeling of our house this summer (no exact dates are planned) so not 100% sure about my doodle entries.

In case our house is inhabitable at the date agreed I wouldn't mind hosting a bbq or simular - but please notice I'm 1 hour south of Copenhagen (by train or car).

First Copenhagen meetup Sunday 28 August 2016

Hi all,

Sunday 28 August it is!

On this day the first Copenhagen ERE meetup will take place as this is the day with the highest number of doodle votes.

Sorry cbroenning, I really had hoped to fix a date where we could all meet. Is there no little tiny chance that you can be around on this day, even for a short visit?

Thanks for offering hospitality wizards, I'd love to go down and visit your house one day. However, I think we should keep this meetup in Copenhagen as it is the first one and thus should be easily accessible by bicycle or walking to most of us.

Details to follow once we get closer.

So all ERE Copenhageners who'd like to join us, pls sign up in this thread so I know who to expect.

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Edit: deleted personal details

No worries! :)

I will try to be there! I currently have plans to leave on 26 August for a week-long hike in northern Sweden. Will investigate. When do you need an answer at the latest?

I reckon we'll handle the exact location and time via private message.

Well, I guess the day before or the same morning. Don't worry, there will always be a space for you. On the other hand hiking in northern Sweden sounds awesome to me so maybe we should move our meetup up there :lol:

Great, everyone!

This means it will happen. Details on place a.s.o. in PM a week or two before.

For now, keep the date and spread the word to like-minded souls.

Do we have an agenda? Something people would like to discuss?

@FBeyer - I usually/used to suggest bringing a list of questions to ask. Otherwise, they're often forgotten in all the excitement.

Hi, all

Sounds very interesting with a Copenhagen meet up.

I am interested but are a bit uncertain about the date. So I can only partially sign up - hope it's ok.

@Knap82: A partial sign up is perfectly ok, we are incredibly flexible. However, you will miss out on the fun if you don't show up.
