We will be having a meetup for any Australian members on Saturday 15th October 2005 at Brighton-le-Sands in Sydney. Honey Rum will be here on holiday from England. We had a mini meet today and decided that this was the best date for a meetup. Could all who have expressed an interest in this please put their names on the thread. Many thanks. Leah

Darn won't be able to make it sorry as Cassie runs in Triathalon at Bribie Island last Saturday in October so will be hanging round Brisbane until then, never mind you all have a good time and take lots of photos please and put them on the photo page asap , behave ( no don't ) show Honey a good time and will hear all about it no doubt on the boards Love Lara

Hi there... so sorry to hear you won't be there Lara but I will make sure I will have a drink or two, or even three for you..lol Thankyou so much for organising this meet Leah... a once in a lifetime thing for me!! Roll on the 15th October... I will get in touch with my rellies later to organise a lift etc... and look forward to meeting all of you... hope Steedie will be there too!! Anne xxx

We had a good day yesterday, for 7 people who had never met before we all got on really well. Lots of laughter - needless to say see you all in October. cheers Laurie

I met 6 great people yesterday in Moss Vale, if that is any indication of what the meet in Nov is going to be like, boy are we going to have some fun. Laurie, Sandra/Michael, Leah, Judy you are a great bunch of people. Cant wait to see you again. Cheers Shaz

Just like to add to the others that we had a great day at our minni meet in Moss Vale on the 13th and am looking forward to the big one on October 15th, so come on all you members that are close enough to get there that day come along and meet some great people. Sandra in the Gong

Hi - I put this in Honey Rum's thread yesterday, now copied it over to Leah's thread. Hi Leah, Sandra, Shaz, Laurie - and Honey Rum (nice to meet you Anne) To everyone out there, these girls are great, I was one who met them at Moss Vale yesterday. To Honey Rum, I live at Springwood, Blaxland is 4 stations away, and I could help you get to Brighton-le-sands by train. I'm looking forward to getting together with you all. Judy - from the Blue Mountains

Hi would love to come up for the weekend, maybe can get a cheap flight, have to see closer to the day. judy

Hello to all of you... things are starting to move over in Oz then? The meet is sorted out...can't wait.... we just need loads of members to have a great day. Judy (Lochlin)... would love to travel by train their, hopefully my cousins daughter will come with me and it will be a change for her not to drive... leave it with me and when I sort it out with the rellies over there, I will let you know just how I will be going to Sydney... car or train. 'Tinkle' is getting really excited about it all, and of course you all know she is one of GB's babies... her Mommy is going to be so proud of her!! She is looking forward to meeting you all!! Anne :)))
