+Many years ago, PerryLorier, JonPurvis and MatthewBrowne used to organise getting all the local geeks (many of whom are WLUG members) to meet in town and go to lunch together
.
-Every
Wednesday,
around 12:30pm, a bunch of geeks (normally MatthewBrowne, PerryLorier, JonPurvis, DanielLawson, JamieCurtis, CraigBox, MattCairns, CraigMckenna and Mr & Mrs MatthiasDallmeier, often supported by [borland], JamesSpooner, MattBrown, GerardSharp, DavidMiller, etc)
meet in town
and go
to lunch at
the Downtown Plaza foodcourt.
+For most of the lifespan of this event it was every
Wednesday around 12:30pm, who would
meet outside Datacom
and walk down
to the Downtown Plaza foodcourt. The geeks would wait until they found a free table (sometimes up to 6 were required); pull them together (much to the dismay of the staff) and sit and eat their recently purchased lunch on them. (That was really hard to do during the SchoolHolidays)
.
-KyleCarter turns up occasionally when he is able, alas those in the WorkForce
sometimes are unable
to come due
to other commitments
.
+It was
sometimes followed by a dessert shout - the basic rule being that if you accept of a shout, then you're expected
to one day provide your own. Shouts used
to cost between $12 and $22 depending on how big the group was. A ShoutRecord was kept
.
-We then wait till we find a free table (sometimes up to 6 are required); pull them together (much to the dismay of the staff) and sit and eat our lunch on them. This is really
hard to do during the SchoolHolidays.

-This is normally followed by a dessert shout - the basic rule being that if you accept of a shout, then you're expected
to one day provide your own. Shouts used to cost about $12-$15, now they are more like $18-$22 (unless you pick a day when the uni crew have meetings) See ShoutRecord for details of recent shouts.

-Sometimes some
LazyStudents miss these,
because of their birthright to sleep until midday.
+WorkForce members found it
hard to come every time due
to other commitments;
LazyStudents often missed them
because of their birthright to sleep until midday. Due mostly to Perry moving back to a University job, Geek Lunch on Wednesday died mid 2003 and is another chapter in WLUG related history
