Guest hazelandmathew Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 How about the pub over the road from Flinders street station on the corner? Not sure how big it is in there (or what its called) but its fairly central? Anybody have any ideas for a time to meet? Ice cold beer will go down well if it reaches the high 30's ;-p Cheers H:wubclub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LightOz Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi We arrived in melbourne 3 weeks ago and would love to meet up-have been on a couple of meets already, but would like to go to more. I'm Louise (26) and my husband, Chris, is 28. Don't mind where as we're fairly close to the city. Look forward to it. Oh, and thanks Kate and Brian for letting us know about it!

Charles Dickins tavern 290 collins street (Btwn Elizabeth street and swanston walk) Yes, you found the origianl melbourne drinkers club headquarters then, i would have suggested that over the irish times but maybe a bit old hat to anyone who has been on meets i organised before under the name of mr anderson on expats and britvics For all of you who dont know, its THE FOOTBALL PUB in melbourne, open almost 24/7, if ia live game is on in the english peom, it should be open til 4 5 6 am or open early for champions league games, rugby and the like Call thenm and ask in advance if they are showing a certain thing , a good crowd of staff.

Guest junglegeorge45 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 hiwill anyone else be taking kids, we have a girl 10, boy 9? Hi all, No kids on this end, and been slightly out of the loop re-modelling (that should actually read "completely gutting and re-buliding") my flat in Footscray over the holidays. If this meet up is still on, I'd be keen to give my tools a night off and knock back a pint or two over a nice chit chat. Please let me know through e-mail directly to: alex@alexmccarthy.com, or give me a buzz on 0466 210 012. Cheers, Alex. P.S. Happy (belated) New Year to one and all. Here's hoping 2010 is filled with all the stuff your dreams are made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKW Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 We would love to join you all but unfortunately we have a 17 month old and no babysitter. If anyone out there wants to meet up who has children or if you guys are up for a meet in a park for a bbq sometime let us know. Hope you all have a good time, we'll be there in spirit, thinking of the days before children.....!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Akehurst Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Afternoon all Sorry to butt in.... Just moved to Melbourne from the UK with my partner who is Australian. Can I invite both of us to the do (if it's this Saturday, 9 Jan) ? Hopefully we can make it and will give us both the chance to get away from the in-laws ! It would be good to hear some english phrases after c.3 months of travelling to finally get here. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
