Whynot Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi All,I would like to arrange a coffee club session in Centurion.

Please let me know if you are interested and I will take it further.Warm regardsWhynot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidim Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 We're in Joburg, but if the date suits us and it is not in the evening (we have small children that get very difficult when it gets close to bedtime) we will be interested in joining.Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whynot Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi All,Can we set a date for this coffee club session; How about Saturday, 19th of November 2011, around 12h00, at Grey Owl Village – Café Bugatti (cnr Brakfontein Road & Erasmus Drive, Louwlardia). This is in Midrand so nicely in-between Johannesburg and Pretoria.Please let me know what you think… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAZR Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 We can't do 19th,my sister's kitchentea Maybe suggest 2 dates then we can see which date suits the most people.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whynot Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Alternatively, how about Saturday, 26th of November 2011?I am writing Unisa exams until the 15th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Voogt Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 OK, so 19th or 26th?Yes, this is my first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vannix Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I might be interested in the 26th as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whynot Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi All,Seems like the 26th of November 2011 suits most. Let’s keep the location central and fix the date!(around 12h00, at Grey Owl Village – Café Bugatti (cnr Brakfontein Road & Erasmus Drive, Louwlardia)Please confirm if you will attend (with numbers) to enable me to do the booking.Have a great day!

AAAZR Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Also 26th but can we look at different time please? 12:00 is not a good time with toddlers that still need afternoon naps.I suggest either 10:00 or after 14:00...Is the venue child-friendly?Thanks guys!A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidim Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 We will be able to make the 26th. But like AAZR, I need to know if the venue has play facilities for kids. I have a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old, and if they have to sit at a table the whole time, there's not going to be a lot of conversation hapenning other than "stop painting the table with tomato sauce", or "do not lick the salt and pepper pots!".

AAAZR Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'd like to make another suggestion... What about Papachinos in Midrand? EXTREMELY Child-friendly and great food,they even have babysitters on the playgrounds. Let me know what you think!#40 Whisken AvenueCrowthorneMidrandhttp://www.papachinos.co.za/A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heidim Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Papachinos is awesome! We always go to the one near Allens Nek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAZR Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Papachinos is awesome! We always go to the one near Allens Nek. We also do and its the only restaurant where we can actually have a decent conversation with each other! I suggested the Midrand one so that the Pretoria and Jhb people can meet each other "half-way".If everyone is happy with the idea I recommend we make a booking as soon as possible as they're booked well in advance.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondiejhb Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Pappachinos sounds great, as I think a lot of people living on Joburg side have heard of it, or have been there. It's 1 place that I might actually find, me being blonde and all. Not so good at following directions..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whynot Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's fine with me as I live in Centurion. Sorry, but I have teenagers and is totally out of touch with little ones. Will you do the booking as you know the location? We can move the time to 10h00 as well, if you like?From my side it is 2 adults and 2 teenagers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
