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

Good work Bruce.

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!

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!)

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"?

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

There's plenty of them though.

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

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.

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.

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

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 :D

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

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.
