Mara Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Although I have listed this post, your contact person is Tazzn, this was her first email about the event. If you would like to join in, you can send a PM to her with your email address, or to me if you wish, and I will pass it on.TazznWhile I had a chance I thought I would try and pin down a date that suites most.My thoughts are to aim for either the last weekend in July (25th/26th) or the first weekend in August (1st/2nd). Would everyone be able to let them day which day suites better Saturday or Sunday and which weekend would be better.Because of the weather I think an indoor venue is our best bet either a lunch time or afternoon coffee get together.I have put together a few (limited) options for venue. I have tried to keep them children friendly but I dont there are many children and my daughter will probably be the only one small enough to benefit from the play areas. So saying that I am easy if anyone has any other suggestions for venuehttp://www.bundoorapark.com.au/Page/Page.asp?Page_Id=64&h=1www.zagames.com.au (these just popped up in my internet search, not sure if anyone has been to any of the venues?)http://www.bundoorahotel.com.au/I think first thing we will try do is nail down a date and if anyone has any venue suggestions we will put these together and then decide on a venue in a week or so time.THE DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR 1ST AUGUST 2015.12h30 at Bundoora Hotel in Plenty Road, BundooraPlease contact Tazzn or myself by PM to facilitate bookings before 29th July 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 UPDATE: 5 JUL 2015I am happy with either weekend, and either day, so will go with the majority.I have never been to a Zagames.I have been to Bundoora Park as well as Bundoora Hotel. The Park Café has a limited menu but as it is winter, will probably not be overcrowded, however, from memory, the Visitor’s Centre Café and the playground are not close to each other, so not sure how parents would mix if they need to watch their kids in the playground or keep the kids busy inside, if the weather is bad.The Bundoora Hotel will definitely have a greater choice of menu, children’s play area is great and enclosed, but you would have to book for either Saturday or Sunday.. and soon, they get busy.Look forward to meeting those I have not met yet.Regards MaraUPDATE 7 JUL 2015The list is growing fast which is exciting!I have been debating the venue idea a bit but I think before I try and narrow it down I would ask some info which would help guide the decision.I know we haven’t picked an exact date (just giving everyone a chance to reply with preference) but just to get an idea how many people we could expect if all went well. If you could let me know how many adults and children are in your family. Secondly could everyone give an idea of where they are living (suburb/area).I just want to make sure when I narrow down the venue search it’s somewhere that accommodates the number of people etc.. and is also in an area that would suite the majority.Thanks and hope everyone has a great week…. And the weather at least gets slightly warmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!Cheers Tarryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I hope Tea drinkers are accepted lol. Early in the New Year sounds great to me. ? ☕ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 The procedures for tea drinking applicants are governed by two subclauses. Everyone knows about them..but nobody knows what they actually say. Some people have even gone as far as suggesting that the Tea Drinkers are the real masterminds of the Coffee Meets. But nobody takes those nutters seriously. Surely nobody would draw up such a hefty document as the Rules and Regulations of Coffee Meets Across the Continents and Centuries as a diversion to cover the real agenda of the Tea Drinkers...surely?Oh my soul, I shouldn't be allowed a keyboard before I'm fully awake! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Mmmmm, this conversation about tea.... coffee.... is getting way to technical for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Redpanda this is what comes of drinking too much coffee, and why I being a sensible ahem Brit stick to tea lol...? Regardless of beverage preferences it will be a pleasure to meet up with you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
