I will roast up some lamb - if you would rather eat other meat, please bring along.

Would others please bring:

Dessert
Sweets or something for the coffee bit (we will have some)
Bread rolls


Ordinarily, we would have a coffee meet in March. For the last few months, we had been looking for a new place, packing, moving and unpacking into the new place.

Consequently, it didn't happen.

I will, therefore, put it up for EOI for a coffee meet in July sometime. It can't be the weekend around the 20th.

Let me know availability and preferred dates. Suggest a Saturday.

Sounds good.

We'll also be having a dinner-meet somewhere (restaurant) in the not too distant future. I'll start a new thread for this presently.

I am going to keep my ear to the ground regarding this one, as always I am interested, but for the moment I am still working Saturdays.

Sounds good Patrick. I've yet to attend to one of those but will try and make this one. A good caffeine fix and I won't sleep for 3 nights.

Looks like I already had a thread.

Looking at first weekend of August from about 9am. Either Saturday or Sunday are good for us, so will go with consensus.

I vote Sunday

Saturday or Sunday good for me and mine.

either or...as usual sunrise before hand

Sunday for me. Please.

The votes are in - Sunday it is.

I will PM my new address to the respondees.

Hi Patrick, Is there room for one more? Are you going to have any of that super expensive coffee made from monkey poo? If not I can train my dog to eat coffee beans, should be nicely processed by August?

Hi Glen, plenty of room for the old crowd. I was going to try getting the boys to 'process' the beans for me

Thanks Patrick, I am sure the boys will do a great job!

Interested, if possible.

"Boy processed beans..." ummmm... pass.
However as my Giotto has just self-destructed I'll be in desperate need of a coffee by August
I have been known to drink coffee on either Saturdays or Sundays so happy either way.
Ozi... bring your xe1 and soak up some pointers from a few of us.

I am sure it is possible for you to be interested

You do realise what the date for this is? (I'm adding it in to the calendar, btw)

gstark wrote:You do realise what the date for this is? (I'm adding it in to the calendar, btw)

Am I correct in assuming you are referring to the anniversary?

You are.

I am.

10 points.

And no DRS.

No drag reduction system? At least not on the first lap

Given that, perhaps the coffee meet can extend to a BBQ with drinks (and salad) after for those who wish to hang around?

That should work for me.

No can do that weekend unfortunately - otherwise would liked to have come - have fun guys

As an aside, I have an electric lawn mower that is sitting unused. It is an Ozito brand but does the trick. If anyone wants it for themselves or anyone else they know, they are welcome to it.

I'll be bringing the 3 secret foods that will blast the fat off your arse in 12 hours...no exercise, no diet and no pills required. You too can look like a Hollywood star. PS Patrick....I'll be bringing my parole officer with me. She who must be obeyed.

But do you?

Anyway, for the BBQ, I shall BBQ roast a decent portion of an animal, may I ask that others bring salads, dessert, bread and drinks?

I should be right to attend. If someone could PM me with exact date, time, address etcetera, it would be dandy appreciated. Many thanks.

I would bring the XE-1 along but alas it is still at Fuji being repaired/replaced, and I haven't even fired a shot yet....

Reschsmooth wrote:Anyway, for the BBQ, I shall BBQ roast a decent portion of an animal, may I ask that others bring salads, dessert, bread and drinks?

Good as done. Maybe I can bring some koala poo coffee from the north coast as a treat?

Hi Patrick, I can't make the BBQ afterwards (even with the enticement of a free lawnmower for everyone) but looking forward to the coffee meet.

Gourmet salad my speciality. Consider it done.

Looking good, Patrick could you edit your first post in this thread to add the final details, may clarify the thread.

I can bring drinks, which I think I also did last year, thus this could well be my specialty

Soft drinks and juice? and maybe some carbonated water for those north shore types..

i will also bring the pavoni along and some recently burnt.. i mean roasted beans..

Happy to bring along whatever sustenance we might be missing off the list.
I'll check in later this week to determine the requirement.

Things that go bump in the forum.

Patrick, I should be right for the BBQ etcetera. I shall bring what I can find. (Don't worry, I won't be cooking anything and thereby endangering the health of the aforementioned visitors. )

I will need some details as to exact time, address etc. Many thanks.

Coffee meet kicks off at 9:30 or thereabouts and the BBQ from about 12pm, but I am flexible. Just don't rock up at 5pm! Or on Saturday. Or at 6am.

I will PM my address as it is top secret (except to those who know it).

I shall be arriving in my Aston Martin, with my shoe phone. I will go through 5 sets of automatic doors and then I will enter a red phone booth. I will need Control's secret number though, eg ****86.

You aren't across the road from KAOS by any chance?

ozimax wrote:You aren't across the road from KAOS by any chance?

No, but we house the HQ for SPECTRE

I'm happy to bring something as well.....dessert sounds good....but let me know what you need and I can grab it on the way over.

Just to confirm......the meet is on Sunday 4th August?

Matt. K wrote:Just to confirm......the meet is on Sunday 4th August?

Yes

Matt. K wrote:Just to confirm......the meet is on Sunday 4th August?

Or this coming Sunday, if you prefer.

so its this Sunday right?

'K, so everyone who has said they are attending should have my address. Guard it. Reveal it to no-one on pain of death.

Now, for expectations: I have not had a chance to roast coffee since moving, so we will be drinking Vittoria beans that have been sitting on the shelf of Woollies since 1983. Just kidding. The beans will be bought, but sufficiently fresh.

Umm... so my posting it on facebook was not a good idea

Let me check that... 'dessert, dessert dessert'... yep, sounds good to me.

I think that should be a sunbeam tiger you'll be driving... although it was actually a sunbeam alpine rebadged as the tiger didn't have room for a machine gun.
