Ok so I moved to Melbourne. Now I want a meet. Is there any interested Melbourne people. Or maybe people who could make it to Melbourne.
Please place expressions of interest ideas here please.

[tangent] thinking back on my first Melbourne meet I think James the C is the only one still around: AJ and the then visiting IngoB are on the other side of the world, Cusanus (though I am in touch on another forum) has left, another couple whose nommes de ship I can't remember have left, and I don't think the then LatA / Amazing Mavis was there that night (she was at the Byron Bay meet earlier that year, as was Rowen). I've been to at least one more in Melbourne since, when I think FD was present, too. ![[Tear]](graemlins/tear.gif)

Zappa can you let C him know about the potential meet.
Remember a long time ago I tried to organize a meet but no other Melbourne people were on the boards in 1998 I guess.

I know I'm hopeless with keeping in touch with everyone on the Australian board, but I've been to a couple of meets in the past and would go again if I'm free when you have one.

Ok so are people keen on a weekend say 14th April or does a weekday suit people in general. Happens to be a busy week for me that week but could manage to fit things in.

I have my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary celebrations the evening of the 14th. I could possibly do lunch, but might need to help set up for the evening so I'm not sure. I'm free on Sunday though (church shopping at the moment so I'm flexible about what time I go to church that day).

Hopefully I can make it - still waiting for my family to sort out the details for my Grandparents' 60th anniversary celebrations that evening. It depends how much needs setting up and what time I need to be there.

Does anyone want to be a little different and go to lentil as anything? I have been to the Abotsford one a few times as I have vegetarian family. Also quite reasonable (pay what you think meal is worth). Lentil as anything.

Still not 100% sure if I can make it or not, but am happy to go to Lentil as Anything if I do. Are you planning on going to the Abbortsford franchise?

Ok in the absence of protests I propose the following 12:30 at lentil as anything Abbortsford. I am toying with the idea of a trip to the children's farm next door afterwards if Miriam behaves. Other people welcome Sean said he will come so far we have
Sean Bronwyn Miriam Rowen confirmed will pm others to see how this pans out.

My family still isn't sure on the setting up details for Saturday night - hopefully I will know if I can make lunch by tomorrow! My family have many talents but communicating in order to organise events isn't one of them! I'm pretty sure everything has been organised but just don't know if they need extra hands to set up beforehand.

Yay! I can come for lunch. Probably won't be able to stick around for the children's farm. I loved the visit my family made when I was a kid. I wonder if they still have the giant fluffy bunnies? I'm always reminded of those rabbits when people talk about fluffy bunnies here on the ship.

Oh, and as they no longer have giant fluffy bunnies at Collingwood children's farm, I google some photos of Angora rabbits. Giant Fluffy Bunnies.
