munchkinpie Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 [h=5]So I'm thinking it would be good to arrange another meet-up whilst its still Summer time. Perhaps sometime in February? It would also be good to make it a central location to give all of the members an opportunity to meet one another. Any suggestions/interest?[/h] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpodom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Geelong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Geelong? The only existance in which Geelong would be considered central is Harpoworld. Luckily normal people don't live in Harpoworld. However as a positive, when people leave the day, they will appreciate where they live themselves so much more. Ie, You know dear, maybe living between the brothel and local drug dealers with our 3 kids isnt so bad after all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchkinpie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thank you Harpodom and dmjg I had been thinking something more along the lines of in Central Melbourne. I haven't been to Geelong yet but it is on my Must-Do-Soon list. I have popped down to the Mornington Peninsula a few times now and it has many lovely spots. Both would Im sure be perfect for Meet-Ups and Im sure there have been some not that long ago in both locations. Just thought it would be nice to try find somewhere that most people can get to within an hour or so if they wished to come along. Hopefully wherever is decided you will both pop along and say "Hi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 oh yeah, cos thats really central, isnt it? It is for me! :biggrin: Plus there are so may POI'ers down here, it could well be the demographic centre of victoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I haven't been to Geelong yet but it is on my Must-Do-Soon list. Save your sanity, don't! Unless of course you are heading straight through on your way down the Great Ocean Road. Or are you just trying to keep harpodom in a good mood with this tidbit?

KazzKing Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi, Thanks for arranging another meet-up munchkinpie, we couldn't make the last one (me, hubby and two girls, 5yo and 12yo). We're in Mentone but happy to travel up to an hour (in whatever direction) so count us in. Will keep an eye on this thread for further details.

Or are you just trying to keep harpodom in a good mood with this tidbit? Ha ha funnily enough it was part of the Great Ocean Road plan but a friend has just been there for a few days and reported back lots of positive things so might make it a wee weekend jaunt sooner than later. As for keeping anyone happy, Ive got enough to deal with what with it being school holidays and having 2 teenage girls and a 4 year old monster! ;-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchkinpie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 They are fab babysitters - just not within their own house or with each other lol! 2 hours with teenagers is a wise time frame - after that they just whinge and cost money!

munchkinpie Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 So guys between here and the other forum and messages - 23rd Feb is looking the most popular. I think most central locations have been Albert Park and Royal Botanical Gardens. Im not overly familiar with Royal Botanical Gardens and having looked at website I cant find any overly ideal locations. Anyone have any map points/areas that might work? ie near childrens activity, parking, etc? There are 2 places at Albert Park that would work well (and are different from the last location we used there) http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/pa...ound-areas-x-2 or http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/albert-park/things-to-do/coot-picnic-area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawsonwood Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 A meet up in February sounds great. Haven't been to one yet so will look forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkinpie Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 So guys Ive looked at a variety of other parks/areas (Fawkner Park, Docklands Park, Yarra Park) I think that Coot Picnic Area at Albert Park is going to best in terms of having everything there ie Parking, Play Area, BBQs. Hopefully see you all there on the 23rd of Feb from 12 noon onwards I will update as to what to look out for as I think the Santa Flag may be a bit out of season :-D Louise xxx PS - Mods how can I amend the Thread title to include date and time details as opposed to making a new thread? thank you x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
