As you have probably noticed from Gary's posts, the forum's Anniversary Weekend
is approaching - this year it will be an astonishing five years since the then
named D70 Users was formed.

The Sydney AW Dinner is on Saturday 8 August.

Do we have any interest in a Melbourne inner/lunch that weekend?

Possible options-
Saturday 8 August, dinner, or
Sunday 9 August, lunch

Somewhere cheapish and central, for example
- one of the many Vietnamese restaurants along Victoria Street Richmond, or
- one of the pizza joints in Carlton, or
- other suggestions welcome.

Sadly I will be in Sydney for the city to surf (my fiance is running in it). I could potentially do the Friday (7th) night after work though.

by **photograham** on Mon Jul 13, 2009 3:48 pm

Greg, we've been pretty quiet here in Melbourne for a while now, so a get together for the anniversary would be good. As I already have a lunch booking on Sunday 9 Aug, saturday night dinner somewhere would be good.

by **photograham** on Fri Jul 17, 2009 4:19 pm

Hey Greg, where has everyone else gone?????????

by **Greg B** on Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:51 am

---- sound of crickets chirping ----

Not much action on the Melbourne AW dinner front by the look of things.

Since the only positive response is for a dinner on Saturday 8 Aug (thanks photograham),
that will be the prospective date.

However, we are a looong way from having enough takers to get this baby going.

So, one last time, any interest? Or has the whole project done a Michael Jackson? (i.e. died)

Sorry Greg, I will be in Argentina for that time and good luck. AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY DSLRUSERS, I will see all of you in November....chauuuuuuuuuuuu.......

Argentina sounds fantastic - have a great trip!!

by **Hudo** on Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:33 pm

Hey got shoots booked for that weekend but as mentioned Melb activity has been quite... Maybe when it warms up a little we should all get together again.

Carlos, have a great trip. Hope you eat plenty of Dulce Delecta and bring heaps of the pastries, mate, and Mendoza reds.

I loved Argentina!!!!!!!!!!!! :up:

by **Alex** on Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:52 pm

Would love to come but 7th and 8th are out for me :-(

Alex

by **DaveB** on Sat Jul 25, 2009 5:39 pm

Enjoy the homeland Carlos!

At the moment I'm open for either Sat dinner or Sunday lunch that weekend. Best to lock things in soon though, as the calendar fills up fast!

by **rflower** on Sat Jul 25, 2009 9:28 pm

Sun lunch would be better for me too.

by **DaveB** on Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:46 pm

That Sunday's now out for me: family commitments in the country.
Is anyone going to meet up this coming weekend in Melbourne or not?

by **Greg B** on Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:59 pm

Unfortunately the are only a couple of possibles, and then not for the same time, so I think we may
need to try again later.

by **Oz_Beachside** on Mon Aug 10, 2009 7:30 pm

hi, remember me, I havent been on forum land for a while...

how about we pick a date 3-4 weeks out and see how many votes we get?

Like Sunday 6th September, dinner in Victoria St Richmond? :cheers:

by **DaveB** on Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:20 am

The 6th is clear for me at the moment...

Dinner, 6 Sept, Victoria street - sounds good to me.

by **rflower** on Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:15 pm

Just pointing out ... Sunday 6th Sep is Father's Day and some may have other plans for that night becuase of that...

Personally that night is no good for me (father's day :lol:

and daughter's birthday). ... but the week after is probably ok for me :mrgreen:

by **Oz_Beachside** on Tue Aug 11, 2009 7:55 pm

oh, didnt realise its fathers day.

how about sat 5th?

by **Greg B** on Wed Aug 12, 2009 4:45 am

Thanks Russell.

Sat 5 ok for me too.

by **paulmac** on Wed Aug 12, 2009 11:50 am

Sat 5th is good for me. Sarahmac and Jamesmac will be there as well...

Jeff, will you have enough batteries for your flash? :lol:

by **Antsl** on Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:02 am

Hi All...
Thanks for thinking of me to add to this invite list.
I have been over in NZ for a couple of weeks... taking photos and being a judge at the NZ photography awards :twisted:

Anyway, I am going to be over in South Australia that weekend so I will have to give it a miss... keep in touch but!
cheers for now, Ants

by **Oz_Beachside** on Mon Aug 31, 2009 6:08 pm

can anyone suggest a venue?

by **Alex** on Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:49 pm

I definitely can't make it this weekend. Sorry.

Alex

by **photograham** on Wed Sep 02, 2009 5:46 pm

Have been out of town for a few day, so I have not been able to reply or add any suggestions. Because of where we live, SE suburbs would be great for us. But, we can travel. Thought Victoria St, Richmond? was the probability??????

by **Willy wombat** on Wed Sep 02, 2009 6:08 pm

For Vietnamese - try these ones Bruce

Thanh Ha‎ 1 -
172 Victoria St, Richmond VIC 3121‎ - (03) 9429 8130‎

Thanh Ha No2
120 Victoria St, Richmond Victoria 3121‎ - (03) 9421 6219‎

Thy Thy House‎
118 Victoria St, Richmond VIC 3121‎ - (03) 9429 8668‎

Pick one and let us know. Looking forward to Saturday. Let hope people dont get too busy and can follow up their RSVP with a bum on a seat.

by **gstark** on Wed Sep 02, 2009 6:37 pm

Shirely, it must be one of the Thanh Ha restaurants.

Ho, ho, ho.

by **Oz_Beachside** on Wed Sep 02, 2009 8:52 pm

thanks Santa

ok, booked 6pm, 10 ppl:
Thanh Ha‎ 1
172 Victoria St, Richmond VIC 3121‎ - (03) 9429 8130‎

See you there!

I can drive one person, if anyone wants a lift, if not too far out of my way.

by **DaveB** on Wed Sep 02, 2009 11:40 pm

by **photograham** on Thu Sep 03, 2009 12:18 pm

Great work - I will be there (sans wife I suspect, so just one of me).

Note - restaurant is BYO :cheers:

(Excellent)

by **Willy wombat** on Thu Sep 03, 2009 2:46 pm

That is helpful!

Any home brewers in our midst? :cheers:

by **Oz_Beachside** on Fri Sep 04, 2009 4:52 pm

by **photograham** on Sat Sep 05, 2009 12:02 pm

Sorry all, but now can't get there tonight. My puppy had a couple of operations yesterday and don't really want to leave him for the first couple of days of his recovery.
Hope you have a good dinner.

I have been known to do some home brewing in the past ... not too recently though.

I have got some cold in the fridge, so I will bring some tonight ...

by **Willy wombat** on Mon Sep 07, 2009 4:58 pm

Thanks Russell for the home brews, and thanks to Bruce for organising the evening!

by **Louie** on Sat Sep 19, 2009 4:10 pm

I really need to keep a bit more up-to-date with the forum ..... my only consolation for missing the thread and event entirely is I was away that weekend ....

Hope to see you all at the next one

by **whoalse** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:34 pm

Looks like I missed out quite a bit while I was "away"....!
