It's that time of year again, so who would be interested in a Christmas Mini Meet in Brisbane on the 7th or the 14th of December??
It's only going to be a BYO sit down have a yarn at Southbank, nothing formal......just us lot getting together again for a chat.
Barbara
-
Nobody interested...............OK ;D ;D
-
Not 7th for me.. 14th a possiblity... so there is someone interested, very interested... ... ;D
-
And Karen I think.......not sure about anyone else :D
-
and Joyce...? ;D
-
I must have missed this somehow! 14th is good for me.
-
14th bad for me... already got something on that day starting 11.30am. What timeframe where we considering again... I have forgotten.... sorry. :-[ :-[
Karenlee
-
I've no commitments, so I'll just fall in with what's decided.
-
Would say 2pm make it more feasible for Karenlee?
charlotte
-
Duck had to guide me to the right place. Bless them.
Im okay for the 14th.
Let me get my hamper organised. (Needs lots of time me slowing down)
And Im training it this time.
Floozy ;D
-
floozy pointed me in the right direction!
7th is better for me - 14th is probably more difficult. Time on the 7th doesn't matter!
-
Would it be easier after Christmas???
Just a thought.
Floozy
-
Barbara, why not see who available various days and take t from there... I suspect that 7th is the best day for everyone so make that it and I'll catch up with you next time--- and look at the pics of you all from this next meet...
charlotte
-
Sorry, I haven't been on RC for a few days.........had a visitor!!
I'm open to any day really, it doesn't even have to be a weekend it that's better for people.
Barbara
-
Only weekends good for me,
But this weekend or next weekend doesnt really bother me.
cheers
Floozy
-
It looks like the majority go for the 14th..........so the 14th it is.
-
What time and where? I'll be there.
-
How about 11am somewhere near the Piaza then we can move to where ever we want to be??
Barbara
-
Hi all,
is there room on your picnic rug?
Peonie
-
14th good for me.
Jackie
-
I'm sure we can squeeze another on the rug Peonie ;D ;D
Don't forget, it's a BYO this time, so don't forget the sarnies - or the wine :D
-
Looks like Peonie can have my spot on the picnic rug..... won't be able to escape from the other "do" until about 2pm, and you lot will be long gone by then.
So have lots of fun, and hoist a glass or two for me okay.
Karenlee
-
I won't know till later in the week if I can make it :( Will let you know though!
-
Karen...........just tell OH you're popping to the loo.........then come visit us, tell him there was a queue!! ;) ;)
Hope you can make it Kazza :)
-
It's not OH who's the obstacle it's work - and I have since found out that the work that might have been going ahead, is going ahead.
So I think it's pretty unlikely I'll be there :'(
-
B*gg*r..........that's both Karens can't make it...........would Saturday the 13th make it any easier for everybody??
-
Any date but the 14th.... or the 14th after about 2/2.30pm.
But you won't please everyone Barbara.... so go for the majority and I can make the next get together next year...
Karenlee
-
I will go for the majority Karen.......but if the 13th will make it easier for most then we've got to try. :D
-
13th would probably be easier - but go with what the majority can do - as Karen said you won't please everyone! :'(
-
13th is fine with me
Peonie
-
We'll just have to wait and see what the others say.
Hopefully we can get a date suitable for everyone.
Barbara
-
13th NOT good for me unfortunately.
-
Well if I wasn't in WA I would be there with bells on .
Have a great time. ;D
-
It's only five hours away Ricoba..........why not make a weekend of it..... ;D ;D ;D
Barbara
-
That's what she said to me about my last holiday .. ! ::)
It's only 24 hours away .. ?? ;D ;D ;D
-
Well..............it is only 24 hours away!!! Can't see the problem ::) ::)
-
Maybe if it wasn't so close to Xmas,you lot sound like fun.
Do they ever have one in Perth?you could come to that,
it's only 5 hours away ::)
have a good time..... :D
-
Why don't you organise one Ricoba.......there's a few live Perth/Freemantle way, I'm sure they'd be interested...........and I'd come over, it would give me a chance to catch up with my sons family ;D
-
Hi, May put it on my ''things to do'' list for the new year.
Hope all goes well for your meet....Cheers
-
13/14 okay with me
floozy
-
13/14 Ok with me also...
someone suggested 2.30 pm- that sounds good... was that so Karenlee might be able to join us? I'd go with 2.30
-
I think that was Karenlee as she had something else on the 14th. But the 13th I think she's free all day.
I couldn't be there too long after 2.30 as I have the animals to sort out........ :-\ :-\
Could I suggest the 13th at 12 midday for lunch on the grass...... :)
-
13th midday sounds good...
-
I'm going to a xmas function at lunchtime on Friday 12th.
Saturday 13th I'll be in Caboolture during the day for a b'day celebration and a b'day party in the evening at Park Ridge.
Sunday 14th was ok with me during the day but I have another function at 5pm.
I hope you have a great mini meet. Hopefully next time I'll be able to catch up.

not having sandwiches then ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
lincolnimp, you sound as if you'd fit in just fine with us... ;)
Barbara has to sort the animals out after 2.30 , and presumably she's assuming that before that she'll sort us out :D ;D
so are we set for Sat 13th at noon ? where do we meet- is there only one lot of grass? shade?
-
The Imp does fit in fine Charlotte......we know the Imp :D
Meet at the Piazza so we know where everyone is??
Barbara
-
OK........is everyone up to speed with where when and why??
Saturday 13th December (this Saturday)
The Piazza
12 noon
Please let me know it's OK for you.
Jackie, sorry about this one, but there's sure to be a next one..... :)
-
Work permitting I will be there! :)
-
Count me in Peonie
-
Well..............it is only 24 hours away!!! Can't see the problem ::) ::)
The problem may be as I discovered when investigating flights to Tasmania - despite the oil price heading for the tunnel under the Brisbane river, the price of air travel at the moment is doubling as I watch the planes fly by.
I hope you all have a most enjoyable Saturday
Trish

If you change your mind Trish...........there's a corner going spare on the rug ;D ;D ;D
-
If you change your mind Trish...........there's a corner going spare on the rug ;D ;D ;D
Ta and all that much appreciated - and on a slightly different issue - in regard to the London trip discussed - can you afford to pay the excess baggage charge - probably about 60kg :-\ or is a corner of a rug at Southbank the best offer?
Trish
-
Very perceptive Trish............the corner it is ;D ;D
-
If you change your mind Trish...........there's a corner going spare on the rug ;D ;D ;D
must be a big rug ;D ;D ;D
-
There's room for you as well Ricky ;) ;)
-
There's room for you as well Ricky ;) ;)
Barbara
If I could afford to come over there I would, but have to wait till OH wins the lottery ;) ;)
-
Ricky my love... you will be missed...... but we'll try and have fun regardless.... ;D ;D ;D
Saturday the 13th December at 12 noon in front of the Piazza sounds great for me....... see you all there.......... and Imp.... the sandwiches will be the cucumber and smoked salmon variety......... we do things posh round here you see...... :D :D :D
Karenlee
-
Don't forget the Champers Karen ;D ;D
Ricky, start saving lad and we'll have you as the surprise guest at the next Mini Meet :-*
-
One bottle or two?? ;D ;D ;D
Will bring some chips and dips and bikkies to nibble on since we are picnicing and not eating in a cafe or whatever...
Karenlee
-
Went to purchase some Christmas cheer at the local wineshop today and discovered YT was on special this week - must have been especially for the RC celebrations :D

Trish

Hi all,

Jordodn

What a fun filled day, but what a hot one......unfortunately some couldn't make it, but I'm sure we'll see them next time.

A fabulous day as usual.............thanks ladies. :-*

PS wish that you could have been with us ( as long as you'd left your Dad at home that is ;D). You and Jordan would have had a great time together, and like KazzaQLD I wish I'd taken my togs, even though I spend nearly everyday in a swimming pool.

I'm Genie, your Nana knows me :)
It certainly sounds like you had a good time.

I did have good time.
Is it snowing at your place? ;)

Yes, well, it's just stopped snowing but it's very cold ... brrrrr

sorry I did not make it to the mini meet :( I was very unwell last weekend.
Wishing you all the best Christmas :D
Hope too see you at aother meet
cheers Floozy
-
Are there pictures ???
mab :D
-
No mab, no pictures. I took the camera and then didn't use it...... typical. Talking too much to worry about pictures.
Next time, I promise.
Floozy......sorry to hear that you were unwell that weekend. I hope that you are feeling better now. The next one has been planned for late March. Think it was about the 28th or something. The organised ones amongst us.... Kazza for example.... have it recorded so that we don't all forget.
Karenlee
-
Thats sounds great, hope to be their next time.
all the best
cheers
Floozy
-
Sorry to hear you were unwell Floozy, you missed a fair few laughs I can tell you.
Hopefully we can all get together again in March.........Jordon's sure looking forward to it. ;)
