Meet-Up Re: Meet-up in QLD for the Australians (other welcome too)
#10: February 11, 2015, 07:05:58 PM
Sounds like money and thus time to prepare is the biggest hurdle...
Yes my plan would be to do it on a weekend. Maybe Friday to Sunday if people can get the Fridays off for travel. Maybe 18/9-20/9 would suit? (one of my Kid-free weekends)  That should still be far enough away from Xmas stress, hits no school holidays, and give people about 7 month notice.

What do people think of that timeline?

That weekend won't work for me unfortunately - it's my birthday! Plus I'm already headed to Darwin then for a conference.

But if it works for everyone else then plan away... I'll catch up at the next meetup .... plans don't have to revolve around me ... After all I'm not an MLCer  ;D

Would October 16-18 suit better?

Alright, lets use a poll to see what option suits best...
Poll will let you change your selections, so if life changes (like it never does, right?), you can change your availability.

Hi PB.
Seems like we have our kids on opposite weekends.  I probably wont have nay spare cash this year for flights any way (now that the sewing machine has also broken down in addition to the TV) but will keep watching this thread.

Yeah SP, I think that was the problem with the last meetup too.

Other than that, it looks from the poll like the october slot is much preferred. What would people like to do? Should we arrange for a beach house? Rainforest? Cruise on a boat? Low key?

Let me know what you would like?

Ok, we are approximately 2 month out from the October date.
Who is serious about wanting to meet up and catch up?

I'm happy to help with organising activities/book restaurants etc and make a general plan for the weekend based on what people are interested in.
We could try to charter a small boat and go for a cruise around the Gold Coast, we can do a JetSki safari or canoeing, Bowling... We can hit the theme parks if people want or we can do low key events such as some bush walks through the Gold Coast hinterland or a BBQ in Southbank. Or bring forward any other ideas...

I think wine tasting was up there last time... I don't drink myself, but can look into it too.

Thanks for all your thoughts on organisation PB, I would love to be there.

We have just had a BIG shake-up at work and have been told not to apply to take any holidays until near Christmas as all staff are needed until that time.

Have you any idea how many can make it?  I would be happy to make a time in the new year and after the kids are back at school - maybe March?

From now until Christmas and school holidays seems difficult for many.
