A bloggers meeting.

Following Yashvin's idea of a bloggers' workshop, we've thought that it would be nice to meet some (hopefully all) bloggers in the Mauritian blogosphere in person.

We could plan a meeting on Saturday the 14th of March. This date is only a suggestion. If you are not available on this day but still wish to participate, please let us know, by contacting either of us on our blogs or by mail, we could change the date to enable you to be present for the meeting. The venue has not yet been set. But I suggest Caudan where a previous meeting had been held some years back. And frankly it's an easily accessible place .

My e-mail address is
lastmorina [at] gmail dot com.

Please try your best to be present and don't be shy or scared, it will just be a casual meeting and we promise it won't be boring.

So who is in?

Update(09.03.2009): The meeting will most probably be held at 2 p.m on Saturday the 14th. Everything will be confirmed by Thursday, latest.
Thank you all for your coorperation and willingness to participate. ;)

Nice initiative by the way.

PS: I forgot to ask. Are old people like us also invited?

Yashvin said...

@ Avinash Meetoo:

lol, if the old people are bloggers, then of course yes!!!

@ Tushal:
Please, if we are going to KFC. don't invite Avish.

We will look for somewhere nice, once the number of participants have been finalized.

@ Morinn:
Pou zot pa gagne pou ale zouer devinette dan caudan laba :P

lol, that makes me remember that for the last bloggers meeting, I didnot know any one of them!
I had to guess "hey, bisin zotte meme sa" and then go to their table to ask them politely:
"ici meme ena bloggers meeting la?"

TVR!!!

morinn said...

Nussaibah, it's great that the 2 of you will be able to come :P

Just send me a mail with the exact venue and time when you finalise those.

See you all.

aline said...

It's going to be difficult to find a good place for the meeting if there are many people attending.
Unfortunately I can't make it. I'm in Singapore right now. I'll be back to Mauritius in a few months maybe. :) I would have liked to meet some of the newer generation of Mauritian bloggers. I only know the 'old' ones.
You guys have fun and tell us all about it. :)

morinn said...
