What a about a Melbourne get together...
« on: 06 November 2007, 12:35 PM »


Is it possible that we Melbourne or indeed Victorian owners could motivate ourselves sufficiently to have a Christmas get together?

Nothing flash, a few drinks and a meal (optional) at a pub, or someone may care to suggest an exciting alternative.

Can I suggest Echuca so I don't have to drive so far Grin

It's about time you guys had a casual GTG.  Melb is a tad closer compared to Syd for me, but if it goes ahead, I'll do my darndest to get down there.  (If you accept foreigners, interstaters I meant) Wink

Oh Dear - I have 5000 cousins in Echuca - as well as other family members.  Embarrassed If you happened to meet there between Xmas and New year I might be able to attend.  Grin

So NSW meets up in Victoria?
How about you Victorians get behind Koan and sign up for a drive day/BBQ/P$%% up or whatever?
The meets we have had up here are laid back and damned good fun.
I thought Melbourne was the party capital of Australia?  Shocked

Rae and I may be visiting Melbourne in a couple of weeks and there may be a chance we could participate in a meet somewhere in the CBD... although nothing certain yet.

It's sounds to me like "Eastern Oz in get-together in Vic" would be a more appropriate title judging by the current interest Smiley

I'm definitely keen on joining-in if the timing works out.. At the moment my calendars pretty quite so I'll almost definitely go if it happens..
As far as the meeting-place.. I would be keen on meeting practically anywhere in Vic.. Always love to take my forever on-going project for a bit of a cruise. But don't ask me for a suggestion, I'll end up thinking of something by next Christmas.

Cam.. Which Elephant & Wheelbarrow were you suggesting? St. Kilda or Bourke St?

Bourke St mate.

Anyone able to suggest a date??  Looking at the calendar, for me it might not be possible till December 27th / 28th.  I'll only be down for a day or 2, so see how it goes.

You melbourne peeps tee up a date and i'll try make it!

Anyone going to chime in?? I'm a Melbournesian, but I really don't have any preference for dates as my schedule is pretty free at the moment. I'm happy with 27th/28th.. Any other Melbournesians interested?

Sounds like a great idea and being a Melbourne resident, I'm up for it.  We could just plan a simple gathering like a lunch or dinner, or even a lunch run somewhere in the 116's.  I am happy to organise something if you wish.

Regards,

Carl.

BUMP  Grin

What about we meet in Melbourne one morning, then head off to Robertd's place to see the W116 museum?  He's about 1 1/2 hours from Melbourne on the Bellarine Peninsula.

Be nice to time it with OBH travelling to Melbourne.

Regards,

carl.

That sounds like a good plan.  I could double up and visit a mate in Geelong on the same trip.

I'll be in Melb from 31 March for about a fortnight.
