AllisonW Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 cool! Well i know that some of us have small kids so does anyone know of any child friendly locations? I know that Milo is coming from Edenvale and so is ta'mossie. Carrie where are you located? Does anyone know of a place possibly near bedfordview - play area for the kids and coffee and cake (or wine! LOL) and beer for dad? What about a saturday morning?Lets talk, ladies! I need some body to ventilate about the day to day frustrations!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonW Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi Naarch,I live up the road from you in Robindale, a block from the Linden police station, so it would be great to meet!Lets hear if someone can come up with a venue. If not i will start searching!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm also near Edenvale... but I have a car!The last one was arranged by DaveK - it was quite far out but the venue was fantastic! We had a thatched area to ourselves right next to a play area for the kids... but as I said it was way over on the west. I dont have a problem travelling though.We all brought our own meat and Dave and his wife very kindly supplied salads and rolls etc.How about asking him if he can arrange the venue again?Otherwise who else has suggestions?

ta'mossie Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 AllisonI was at Horwoods for the Jhb Coffee Club meeting, and it worked out well, because there is a venue for inside if the weather is bad. Their food was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonW Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Can the Edenvale guys help? I have tried to find the website for Horwood and cannot! Can someone mail me the address and telephone number then i will try to contact them?What about saturday the 26th? 11pm? We can book a large table and everyone can pay for their own bills? Nice and easy!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 PM Milo... she arranged it there last time. She must have the contact details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bronwyn Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Did you guys consider that ball pond/party play place in Bedfordview? The Quays or something (can't remember - is it still there?) but it's a bit behind Eastgate. Accessible to most of you and there are coffee shops right next door.None of my business, I know, it's my old stomping-ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
