Erica Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Some of the names from today [Hendie - names removed: this is NOT a good idea!]Not sure if everybody there today would like to add their name to the list and possibly their SA Australia alias to help people remember who is who in the great trek Great meeting and chatting to everyone today Thanks Camper excellent idea ! Amarula worked so why not keep the venue it worked unless someone has any other ideas Edited May 8, 2007 by Hendie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauritzvw Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi Erica,Yes we were chatting to Patrick at the end of the table, Amarula was fine but what about a braai in a picnic venue next time so that we can chat a bit easier. Anu suggestions?Candice and Mauritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australian Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 HiWe didn't get to meet most people yesterday.Robyn and Luke Taylor & Erin (7) and Joshua (3)I am an Australian citizen and Luke and the kids are applying for the spouses visa. We are hopefully leaving as soon as the visa's are approved.I think the picnic would be a great ideaRobyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terbo Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi Guys,We were also there yesterday: Dave (terbo), Michelle and Caeleigh Terblanche. We were sitting at the end of the table with Graham and co and Candace and Mauritz. I must thank Camper for taking the initiative and organising the table etc for everyone.Met some very interesting people and was surprised at the turnout. [details removed]Camper I heard a romour that you are a Toti boy...is that true? If so we must hook up as we are in toti as well.Regards Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 No, born and bred on the Bluff and now stay in Glennwood.a picnic and braai is fine with me, lets put together some venues and dates and make a decision.Inanda Dam is a nice venue, can organize a boat or two.Shongweni Dam. I cant make it Sunday 3rd June. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauritzvw Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hey Camper,I have lived on the Bluff for 6 years, i thought you looked familiar LOL.Any day in June seems to suit us at the moment but once a date is decided we will make a plan to be there, I think fathers day is also in June so that weekend wont suit a lot of people.Candice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaz Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi there allWow, what a turnout, certainly an eye opener!!Things can only get better......Our details:[Hendie - personal details removed]Just got a job offer in Brisbane and will leave as soon as the 457 is approved.The next venue at one of the dams seems like an excellent idea, at you can move around a bit and mingle - Amarula is a great venue, but we couldn't get to meet everyone.C ya soonRegardsJohan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi allI also like Camper's idea of a braai somewhere, perhaps at one of the dams. Not sure what date suits yet...obviously not fathers day but any other should be fine at this stage saturday or sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauritzvw Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi Celeste,I always like a Saturday as you then still have the sunday to prepare for the week, but whatever suits everyone else is fine with us.Candi & Mau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatterling Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I heard that there were possibly 40 or 50 people at this meeting.Unfortunatley I was too barbied-up, and missed the Amarula meeting on Sunday.APPARENTLY COFFEE WAS NOT ON THE MENU.My good mate Rob who just got his VISA, met a fellow "Soon to Depart", and apparently they said a hearty fairwell to Charles Glass.This is very unfortunate, because I live a stone-throw away and could have leopard-crawled home.

Erica Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Kloof / Krantzkloof Gorge is a nice place to braai / have a picnic on a winter day Shongweni & Inanda Dam entrance fee R10 per adult R10 per child are awesome place for a family braai / picnic ( these are quite a distance for our toti members and bluff members to drive ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I'm not quite sure they let 'leopards' into Australia.You might have to learn to waddle like a wombat after a night out "on the turps". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celeste Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hmm tend to agree so that those of us who like our afternoon naps on a sunday can still enjoy...only for those into rugby this might be problematic...but I stick my vote with Saturday but don't mind negotiating if this doesn't suit others.

australian Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Hi Robyn We have children in the same school and weird never got to chat - funny part is our children did. My son Keagan was totally chuffed that Erin was there and had a great time We definitely need to get together where are your off to in Australia ?HiI am sorry we didn't get to meet!! We were sitting at the other end of the table!! We are off to Sydney, hopefully in the next few months. Had medicals yesterday and now the wait begins!! Where are you going, and when??What grade is Keagan in, and how is he coping with the "move". Erin seems excited and her teacher is aware of the situation and has been very positive about it!! So I am hoping that she will adapt well to Australia.Hopefully we will meet at the next get together!Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
