I thought it might help to make a list of all those who've shown interest in the proposed mini-meet.
So far I think we have the following.....

JM  (Majm)
Trish (trish1120)
Deb (Deb D)
Marty (martywillis)
Ann (annmck)
Judith (judb)
Ros (rosball)
Debbie (Walcha72)
Muss (Muss)
ff (fastfusion)
Neil (Neil Todd)
Leonie (Loneybones)
Dee (Deeiluka)
Bonnie (BonnieDownUnder)

And going by the comments so far, it looks as though it might be good to aim for a day in the last two weeks of April. For people who are travelling by train, a weekday is probably best. We need to avoid Thursday 25th for obvious reasons. The only other drawback of a day during those two weeks is that it's school holidays.

Is it too rude to put in my preferences?  ::)  ;D  If other days suit others more then no worries.
Prefer week beginning 15th but can do the next week.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday are the best days for me as the evening train back to Canberra doesn't run on Tues, Thurs or Sat. I can leave my car at the station for the day - bus terminus is nowhere near the rail station  >:(

I've sent an email to my NSW family to check that there are no days I should avoid from their point of view, seeing as I have to rely on them to get me to and from the train.     ;D


Judith, I discovered that the Canberra railway station is most inaccessible by public transport. It's not very convenient, is it?

Hi Dee ... may I too gate crash this mini-meet in Sydney - it sounds great fun.  I am relatively new to Roots Chat however I do see that a few people attending have been of great assistance to me in my endeavours tracking down Ancestors.

At present I am available w/c 22nd also 29th April.  Unable to do between 8-20 April as having R&R in Lake Toba!
Regards Bonnie

Of course you are welcome, Bonnie.   :D
I'll go back and add your name to the list.

We'll try to work out a date that accommodates as many of you as possible.
