Hi All, starting a new thread to help Melbournites get together, without annoying everyone else!

This is to discuss purely Melbourne topics - a gettogether, for example!

It's my dream to live in Melbourne. Once I have saved up enough money for a trip to Australia I want to join you guys in a gettogether. Maybe next year :-)

Question Melbourne meetup?

OK How about a Friday night? Friday 17th November?

Somewhere in the CBD? I'd love to be able to have an intelligent conversation about intention on a friday night! I know a venue where you can converse rather than shout if anyone's interested...

Hi Hazel,

Next Friday is no good for me, but I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what everyone's preferences are for future meets, and to discuss Melbourne-related stuff!

Cheers,
Claire

The 17th is no good for me either, though I'm going to Europe for 3 weeks on the 19th so there's no need to reschedule to a later date for my sake since I wouldn't be able to make it then either

What venue are you referring to Hazel? I'm always on the lookout for a nice place to relax and chat without having to battle with unnecessarily loud music or the noise generated by far too many drunk people packed into a small space.

Would love to meet up! It'd be a first, so forgive me for thinking you're all serial axe murderers when I first see you.

Can't make it Friday either, got some serious karaoke waiting for me.

Hey Hazel,

Friday 1st December is good for me. Hope we can rustle up some other folk this time!

Cheers,
Claire

Cool - see you there, Holden!

Now, we know Mark Lapierre can't make it (Europe, lucky bugger!), so who are we missing?

Come on out of the woodwork, Melbournites - this is as new and scary for me as it is for you!

Take some photos so that at the next one you can show me what fun I missed out on, and I'll do the same with my photos of France and Greece

Hi Laura,

I'll be at the 1st December meet, not sure if I can do the 8th. PM me if you're planning on being in the Dandenong Ranges area during your trip - I'd be happy to show you around the hills!

Cheers,
Claire

I'm all for it - don't know if I'll be bringing anyone at this stage (possibly DH if he's interested).

Cheers,
Claire

There should be no strangers ONLY friends you haven't met before...

Ooops..
After i posted the question, and re-reading the posts again, i discovered that i had missed the time stated in the posts. (This is what can happen in excitement at the prospect of meeting like minded people)
6pm onwards sound good.

Doh!

I only just saw this ... I'm out of town and pretty-much out of contact for a couple of weeks ... but the next one I'm coming to.
