Penang Atheist Meet-Up!

It’s hap­pen­ing once more! Athe­ist meet-up planned this Sunday with the attend­ance of fre­quent MAFA con­trib­utor and the per­son behind k0k bl0k, Kok Sen Wai will be in attendance.

Loc­a­tion: Gurney Plaza, (INDEPTH UPDATE: Pastamania!)

Date: Sunday, 20th of March 2011.

Ever thought you were the lone­li­est per­son on the planet because all your acquaint­ances were reli­gious; or have you ever wanted to immerse your­self amongst scep­tics for a change?

Now is your chance!

P.S. If you are unable to attend, please don’t feel bad. You can help out too by help­ing to spread the word amongst your friends.

We are here, and we deserve some fun within our own community.

      There is now a second date on Sat­urday. I have updated my post accord­ingly, and a new event on Facebook.

      If you would like to organ­ise some­thing sim­ilar, I can help broad­cast it to the com­munity as well. Instead of wait­ing for oth­ers to take action for us, we can try doing it ourselves for a change.

        i was on the island today to apply for a tour­ist visa to india — so i went ahead a scouted for poten­tial loc­a­tions for the meet. i’m look­ing at chili’s, pas­tamania!, a&w, swensen’s and nando’s at the moment because they appear to be cap­able of host­ing a group of ten. since you’re a nat­ive, which do you suggest?

          I haven’t been a nat­ive for 3 years since enter­ing uni­ver­sity. So I reques­ted backup.

          You should have some recom­mend­a­tions soon.

            well, i guess i should just decide. update the event with the venue: pas­tamania! mainly cos their res­taur­ant is quite spa­cious. say that if any­one objects they should speak up. if not, i’ll just privately mes­sage every­one at the end of the week to tell them where they should be at what time.

            I would con­cur. Query the board and if no one objects, just pro­ceed ahead. At least Atheo Lee will be attend­ing by the looks of it.

            i try not to get my hopes up, but there’s going to be at least two people in attend­ance: my girl­friend and i.

    Any meetup in May? I’m in town from May 2 to May 8 and was hop­ing to meet fel­low athe­ist to learn what’s the scene like in Penang.

      Always nice to see a fel­low Malay­sian athe­ists. We are more numer­ous than pre­vi­ously assumed.

      Any­way, while we are still work­ing out the details of an offi­cial Malay­sian athe­ist web­site, the MAFA group on Face­book allows for the greatest amount of inter­ac­tion amongst our members.

      https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22863906024&ref=ts

      If you are inter­ested in join­ing or organ­iz­ing such events, I highly recom­mend join­ing this group and find­ing inter­ested parties by post­ing on the wall. The admins (includ­ing me) will help you out from there.

      Unless of course, you are boy­cot­ting Face­book, fol­low­ing which I will try to organ­ise a meet-up in that period for you on your behalf.

      Thanks for your interest, and it’s okay if you can’t join the events this month. You can help out by spread­ing the word on blogs, other social net­works, and amongst friends and fam­ily who may be interested.

        I’m cur­renly act­ive in the Athe­ist and Human­ist scene in Singa­pore and would just like to meetup to exchange ideas so that I can learn from you guys. Gurney Plaza is quite con­veni­ent for me to drop by, so was hop­ing to hear from you guys :) But no need to trouble your­self for me :) I’m happy to see that’s even such a meetup in my homet­own at all!
