OK Melbourne / Vic members, who is interested in a Christmas/year-end get together?

How about a BBQ or other suggestions?

Vote for a date;

by **rflower** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:06 pm

Sounds like a great idea Bruce. I will try and get to this ...

by **Louie** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:17 pm

A bbq sounds great! I can't pick a date yet though until my roster comes out ....

by **Greg B** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 6:35 pm

I know my attendance record is complete crap, but I am saying yes with every possible intention of attending.

Good work Bruce.

by **moz** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:22 pm

I'm happy as long as there's a vegetarian option.

by **pucara** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 7:47 pm

for me any date will be O.K. november, december and january I on holidays ....... Carlos...

I find them a bit gamy :lol:

perhaps we make it BYO meat/non-meat or plate...

by **paulmac** on Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:07 pm

Count me in!
Best to set a date sooner rather than later, so that people can commit and/or change their calendars to suit...
Louie, we're waiting for you and your roster!

That sounds eminently sensible.

by **photograham** on Wed Oct 08, 2008 1:00 pm

Would be very interested in coming along, however it will depend on when we get keys around that time for our new house.

by **PiroStitch** on Wed Oct 08, 2008 1:31 pm

I'm in

by **gstark** on Wed Oct 08, 2008 2:20 pm

So, the location is sorted too?

by **Willy wombat** on Wed Oct 08, 2008 2:50 pm

Im keen in December - cant commit to a date just yet. Friday 5th December is no good though (work Christmas party)

by **soarer** on Fri Oct 10, 2008 8:53 am

I'm keen also, just need to know which date, Dec sounds good but like Steve cant do 5th dec as it is my work xmas party.

by **Louie** on Fri Oct 10, 2008 6:33 pm

paulmac wrote:Louie, we're waiting for you and your roster!

So am I!!! It should hopefully be out next week .........

I am there if I am available, wherever it may be

by **paulmac** on Mon Oct 27, 2008 5:39 pm

Bump.

Did we get any closer to organising a date and location?

Perhaps at the BBQs along the Yarra on Alexandria Avenue?
(yes it is only 30 seconds from my house.... just a suggestion!)

by **Oz_Beachside** on Mon Oct 27, 2008 9:31 pm

Good thinking,,,

Think by limited public opinion, we arrived at Sat Dec 6th.

Location to be confrimed, I need to confirm from a member who volunteered to host.

Paul, can those BBQs be "reserved"?

by **paulmac** on Mon Oct 27, 2008 10:30 pm

No, I think they're first in, best, umm, barbequed...

There's plenty of them though.

by **MHD** on Tue Oct 28, 2008 7:26 am

Abbotsford convent is good for a meet if you are happy buying their food and drink (which I am) and very photogenic!

There is also the quarries picnic ground (+BBQs) near the yarra at Clifton Hill

by **soarer** on Tue Oct 28, 2008 9:37 am

If you're willing to travel out a bit, i know Hawkestowe park is beautifull, tucked away in a nice small valley and it has a couple of bbqs there. Not very well known so not many people go there.

Thats where its located.

by **Oz_Beachside** on Tue Oct 28, 2008 10:23 pm

thanks to purcara, carlos who has kindly offerred to host us, so lock in Sat Dec 6, and we will be in contact with more info re address and what to bring etc closer to the date.

Unfortunately, we will now not be able to make it. We get into our new house late thursday and will be spending the next couple of weeks moving boxes etc.

So to all others, have a great do at Carlos', and a special thanks to Carlos for doing what he is doing. I still owe you that coffee Carlos.

by **DaveB** on Mon Dec 01, 2008 7:24 pm

My gig for that weekend has just been rescheduled, so I'm now free. Room for one more?

Well, get the barbeque fired up, at your place instead of Carlos'. How many helpers do you need?!

by **soarer** on Tue Dec 02, 2008 9:04 am

by **paulmac** on Fri Dec 05, 2008 10:58 pm

Aargh!
Last minute jobs mean that I most probably won't be able to make it.

Sorry guys, you'll just have to cope without me

Have a great day, and see you all in January for the next meet.

by **PiroStitch** on Sat Dec 06, 2008 7:43 am

by **Greg B** on Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:11 am

I have something which has come up - trying to get out of it now
(or at least defer it) but could be tricky.

Still hoping to make it at some stage, but apologies if I don't show.

by **gstark** on Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:34 am

All,

Have fun today, and please, don't ignore Barbie's shrimp, Ken.

by **servaasproducts** on Sat Dec 06, 2008 9:54 am

hey guys, my afternoon just opened up, and I can come along, do you have room for one more?
