Mara Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 It has been decided, date and details below. Please indicate whether or not you wish to attend. We have changed the day to the Sunday this time, for those that cannot make it on a Saturday. Sorry to the church goers, but perhaps you can pack a picnic lunch and join us after the service? Sunday 25th February 200711h00, Albert Park Braai, Melways map 2K G5Use the Clarendon Street entrance, once through the park gates, turn left, you will find us between Aquatic Drive and Lakeside, on the right. Look for the BBQ area, an old SA flag will be draped across the back of a chair.Albert ParkYou need to bring something to sit on, and of course, you have to supply your own eats and drinks. There is a BBQ for those that wish to braai, or if you prefer bring a picnic lunch.If the weather turns miserable on that day (it is, after all, Melbourne) then we will move to the Keg & Swan Pub, Melways map 2L A10. It does not appear to clear on the map, but it is the little knife and fork next to the golf office, take Beatrice street to turn into the park and then it is on your right.Beatrice St., MelbourneWe look forward to seeing you all there.If you have any questions you can contact Mara on 0403 011 855 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Is there anybody interested in a picnic/braai in February? We had about 12 families at the last one, I am hoping that we will have more this time.I would suggest Albert Park, where we had the last event, that way people get to know where to go without having to search to hard!Please indicate your interest here, and if you have a favourite place, your suggestions will be welcome. What date would suit you, please let me know!Hands up in the air.... INTERESTED!!! Normally the only prob is that hubby works on Saturdays too... it sux i know.Caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi MaraWe will certainly be there - we enjoyed the first picnic very much and would love to see all the familiar faces again and meet some new arrivals. Albert Park is fine - may be not the first weekend in Feb though - kids start school on the 2nd and the 5th respectively and I will be busy covering books.Stephanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Where are all the SA's in Melbourne? When there is a function in Perth, you hear the buzz, when there is a function in Adelaide, you hear of the crowds that gathered, when you mention Brisbane, you understand that they had a good time. Now when you mention Melbourne, everybody hides away.... I don't understand!Don't be shy, everybody is welcome. There is no entrance fee, there is no obligation to anybody or anything, there is just a lekker samekoms for everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Ai Catz, ek weet regtig nie wat gaan aan met al die mense in Melbourne nie. Daar het nou al omtrent naby die 300 na die boodskap gekyk, maar dink jy nou hulle will ons om die nek val en laat weet dat hulle ons kom "join" by die braai? Ek moet glo dat ten minste 10% van daai wat gekyk het hulle tans in Melbourne bevind, maar nou ja, ons sal maar net daarna vir hulle laat tong uithang, oor hoe lekker ons almal gekuier het!Miskien moet ek 'n deurklop begin, van A to Z en vir almal 'n PM stuur!

Mara Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hi CatzDankie vir die offer, ek begin dink ons moet maar opgee, dit lyk nie asof ons groter nommers gaan uitlok nie!Soos my man vertel, ons gaan onsself geniet, as die ander dit nie wil meemaak nie, dit is hulle probleem!So cybervriendin, ons sien uit daarna om julle te ontmoet!Dit tref my nounet, dit is die eerstekeer dat ek so 'n lang oor en weer skrywery aangepak het in Afrikaans! Shoe!It takes time to think and spell (sure I get it wrong sometimes) when I write in Afrikaans, but I do enjoy the exercise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Lol Mara, shame man, you not doing bad at all!!!I have managed to possibly convince another couple (they also know one or 2 SA families) to come too... and then the first couple i mentioned, they said they would love to come too...SO we might have all new people there... who knows????Hmmm i cant wait...
