Smackey Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 The Next Brisbannites Meet Up.... Hey there, With just 2 weeks until the next meet up we thought we would just send out a final reminder to everyone to have it in their diaries. Time: 1pm Place: Wynnum Esplanade Whale Water Park and Playground Date: Saturday 23rd October 2010 Quite a few people travelled over to New Farm Park from the coast for the last meet up so we thought it only fair to have the next meet up a little closer to the sea. There are bbq's there so if everyone brings a little bit of food with them just like last time we can all tuck in! We're really looking forward to it. Due to the very changeable weather at the moment (just like in the UK really!) we'll send an email nearer the time if we need to postpone. Again we'll also post this on PIO. Hope to see everyone there, Sharon & Matt Jacob & Isobel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the barritts Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Hi all, We didn't come to the last one but would love to meet you all at the next! We (husband and I) moved here from Cambridgeshire at the begining of August and have been so busy settling into work and finding our feet we haven't had time to socialise...sad times!

Becka and Tim Hi Becka, where abouts in Cambridgeshire do you come from, my wife and I used to be in Peterborough Can't make the next one guys I am afraid, booked a little holiday to Melbourne and Adelaide for a week. We will be at the next one though. Mel, the Roo sausages were great! See you at the next one, Zoe will be working by then and hopefully I will have a job too. Fingers crossed we will be in our own place by then too so much closer in to the city. Cheers Craig & Zoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benchola Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hey Guys, Terry has confirmed that there is a full-blown Triathlon event at Wynnum Park next Saturday, so it's a no go I'm afraid as it will be absolutely jammed. So, we'd like to propose an alternative venue. Whilst not coastal, as we would have liked, we thought that Rocks Riverside Park at Seventeen Miles Rocks would be good. The only reason we're suggesting it is that we've had a recommendation from one of the Bisbannittes and we haven't been to any of the other coastal parks yet. We're also proposing that we then flip the Wynnum meet to December. Hope you're all in favour. Here is a link: Seventeen Mile Rocks | Brisbane southside | ourbrisbane.com Any problems / doubts / concerns or even a thumbs up, then please let us know. Hope to see you all there.

We are trying to arrange to meet up once a month but with Christmas just around the corner we were thinking that we would next meet up in late November / early December and then would start up again in January. The next meet up will be at Wellington Point on the coast and we will add you to our email list if you PM us your email address. The meet ups we have done so far have been great fun and it is always nice to meet new people. Sharon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bacardi167 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 And what prey tell is wrong with Peterbor...... Oh yeah I wasn't born there though so can be thankful for that. me and a few friends used to frequent peterborough about 10 years ago and my mate even ended up marrying a girl from "up North"..... that was when they were building the clubs and even went to see "the Posh" play when Barry Fry was in charge i think !! Its a nice place...from a distance....only kidding!:cool::biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the barritts Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 The only good things abour P'town are the roads and rail links....so you can get out of there easily! Good old Barry Fry hey? He's still got his fingers in the pies there, don't think that's a good thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
