Melbourne, Australia: Monthly Meet-ups (18+)

Post Reply New Topic

OK then, zoo it is! 11 am just inside the entrance. (So those of us without membership will need to get there a bit before 11 to buy tickets or else buy them online.)

Next question: how do we recognise each other? yellowtamarin should be recognisable from her avatar, especially if she wears the same hat. I could wear my blue xkcd T-shirt - that should be distinctive enough. Anyone else?

I am a ginger with a short amish-style beard but no hair above the chin. I'll be wearing a brown wide-brimmed hat. I'll be with a woman who's ~20cm shorter than me. I can PM you my mobile number if that would help.

Looking forward to meeting you all! I won't be wearing the hat, sorry to say, but I guess I look like my avatar pic. Considering it's a hot day, look out for a tattooed arm too.

Looks like I'll be the old fart of the group!

I'll be the tiny brown-haired white girl dressed not dissimilar to my avatar (okay, maybe a little toned down, but expect garish colours).

Also, the weather forcast is now saying 37 degrees. Yikes! If that's at all accurate I may just have to skip out on this.

Is it okay if I invite 3 more people to come along? They are all from an AS support group I attend in Blackburn (ASSN). One guy and two girls. I know it's a bit short notice but if we're only going to have 3-4 from these forums, having a few more would be good.

I've been to some of those meetings this year, I will probably recognise you guys. In fact I have an idea of who you might be.

Sorry, I didn't receive any notifications that new postings had been made to this thread.

I won't be able to make it Saturday. Got a 1pm appointment with son and a 37 degree day with a baby it will be too hot for us outside.

If there is another event next year please PM me would love to get together with you all.

I hope you guys have fun!

Yeah, I'm gonna have to skip this one too, it's a bit too hot for me! I hope you all have a great time, though (and don't get heat stroke). Hopefully I'll see you all at the next meet up!

Sorry, I'm going to have to pull out as well Heat + transport difficulties.
Hopefully I can meet you all soon. For those that do come, have fun!

I got a bit burnt But it was great to meet you all, let's do it again

I had a great time The heat wasn't that bothersome for most of the time we were there. I look forward to next time.

I reckon a monthly gathering would be good. Whoever can make it to each one can show up, hopefully would be at least 3 people at each one. Can put together a list of ideas, which we kind of started yesterday, like ten pin bowling (eek!) and mini golf. It would be like the ASSN meetings, only fun instead of helpful

What does everyone think?

Yes, I think that's a great idea. Mini golf sounds good. Bowling is OK by me, but let's make sure it's not at Strike - they play the music there really loudly. Let's keep the aquarium on the list, too.

I'm up for minigolf and aquarium. Like FMX I don't like really loud music but I'm OK with bowling.

There's a good minigolf course in Wheelers Hill but that's likely too far for most people. I'm not aware of any that are more centrally located.
