Mara Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Due to the weather I think an indoor venue is our best bet for lunch, especially if their are kiddies. Below is a link to the website of the Hotel. We have been there before and found it to be quite acceptable. They have space for us, and there is an indoor playroom for the children. It is also easy to handle, you can sit down at the table, check the menu, then go to the counter to order what you would like, you pay for it at the same time, and they give you a buzzer, which will go off, for you to go and collect your meal. So no splitting of bills or anything. The bar is separate and they do not run a tab for you, so you will either make many credit card payments that day, or you can ensure that you have cash to pay for the bar, that is drinks and soft drinks. Soft drinks, if there are a few of you in the family drinking the same drink, then ask for a jug.... makes it a lot cheaper. They also have childrens meals. If you go to their website, you can look at the menu.http://www.bundoorahotel.com.au/12h00 at Bundoora Hotel in Plenty Road, Bundoora Please post in this thread if you plan to attend, with numbers Adults and Children. Then please PM your mobile number and email address to me, just in case something happens at the last minute that we have to contact you. I HAVE TO LET THE HOTEL KNOW WHAT THE NUMBERS ARE BY THE 16TH JUNE, SO PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Guest Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) we would have loved to attend as its something we have wanted to do for sometime is meet up with all the new families. At this stage we are not sure if we will still be in Melbourne as my husband has had an offer of a senior role in Perth which we are considering. We are just waiting for the contract. My husband would start on 6th June. Very sad if we leave Melbourne as I have grown to love it here. ? But we did start out in Perth and we have lots family /friends there.

Guest Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Nothing is certain as yet should find out within the week though.? Mixed feelings about it but its too good of an opportunity to turn down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPanda Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) @Mara If I remember correctly then your kitchen/dining room can host about 6-8 people easily? (Hehehe...I remember where the good TimTams come from...ihm-hmmm! I don't think the hotel has TimTams...that'll be BYO, if they allow it.) I'm looking forward to seeing you again, and meeting some of the other members I've only encountered online. Edited May 22, 2016 by Mara RedPanda, the table can seat 12 eaily and 14 at a pinch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel-B Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Angelique and Gaetano and mini me's, and my mom who is visiting then - 3 adults and 2 kids (3 and 8). woop woop! Small world Mara - Carol knows someone that she met in Canberra that used to work at UNISA with my mother. So we have spoken over the phone via this mutual connection, and she mentioned living in Sunbury, so I said she HAS to meet you. Then she said you are having lunch that same day! Had a laugh about that. PS Mara we will start driving on the 17th to make it. at least its not Sunbury, otherwise we would have had to start driving on the 16th!

Mara Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 @Mel-B Oh dear, you do crack me up.... you must drive awfully slowly....... So glad you can make it and yes, Carol and I have become good friends, we both seem to have a warped sense of humour and do not have to tread on eggs around each other, always a bonus! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 @RedPanda I agree, everyone seems to have disappeared into the woodwork.... Now that I am back from the USA.... I will start working on those, that do not log on too often, see if I can convince them to attend... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 It is the first time I have noticed the thread (I must have been one of those sleeping - or maybe it was the 2015 from earlier). Welcome back from the USA Mara. Will check with the love of my life tonight and come back and update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted May 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 @TeeTMI I had wondered what had happened to you. Thanks for the welcome back, I am very happy to be home... I hate those long flights, all couped up and nothing to do... I am not a movie watcher! Tell the love of your life, it is mandatory.... we have to have Sunbury well represented.... against all those Eastern Folk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 He's up for it - we are on. 2 more adults to your list (although if there are more people that does mean RedPanda and I don't get to raid your pantry). Looking forward to meeting some new and previous faces. Tee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"at my table"? Uhm... light, I mean white chocolate and strawberry, TimTams for tea/starter, then a healthy balance of original and double coated TimTams for the main course, followed by chewy caramel centred TimTams with coffee for dessert. Hmm...sound about right? Actually, we are omnomnomnivores, and will eat most things, in good company. So no vegan or gluten free requirements for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
