Smackey Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Brisbannittes! The Rocks Riverside Park meet a couple of weeks ago was fantastic. Everyone seemed to have a great time – especially the kids what with all the playground equipment and pools to cool off in! It was another gloriously bright and hot day, so the weather has certainly been on our side! Speaking of which, we’re proposing the next event is on the 27 November at Wellington Point at 11am (so that we can get a good spot), to give the Baysider’s amongst us a more reduced travel time! We’ll advise exact location / address in due course. Once again, we’ll post this on PIO in case we have missed anyone’s email address and also if you know anyone who would like to be included in this email just let us know their email address and we will add them. All the best – and we look forward to seeing you all again soon. Matt & Sharon :wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smackey Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Further info on the meeting point from Melanie is below:- Re:27th November meet up. Wellington Point. For all of you intending to attend the 3rd Brisbanittes meet up the details are as follows. The exact address for the sat navs is Main Road, Wellington Point, 4160. Just follow it all the way to the end until you reach the Pacific Ocean! As you drive down into the car park there is a childrens playground to your sharp left (under a huge fig tree and next to the man made beach). Suggest we meet there?. There's no BBQ's directly in the playground area but it is a short nip to one nearby. There is also a fish'n'chip shop for the less adventurous! Suggest all the kids bring swimmers as the water is very shallow and we can take the walk out to Kings Island across the sandbar. Looking forward to it!

Smackey Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Greetings! Thought I would send this as a little reminder regarding the Wellington Point meet-up on Saturday (tomorrow). I've copied and pasted below the directions previously emailed by Melanie. The exact address for the sat navs is Main Road, Wellington Point, 4160. Just follow it all the way to the end until you reach the Pacific Ocean! As you drive down into the car park there is a childrens playground to your sharp left (under a huge fig tree and next to the man made beach). Suggest we meet there?. There's no BBQ's directly in the playground area but it is a short nip to one nearby. There is also a fish'n'chip shop for the less adventurous! Suggest all the kids bring swimmers as the water is very shallow and we can take the walk out to Kings Island across the sandbar. The plan is to meet up at about 11am to ensure that we get a good spot (ie a bbq). As per the last two meet-ups, if everyone could bring something to eat and/or drink we can all pitch in and share, but there is also a fish and chip shop nearby. We don't have a banner or anything to indicate who/where we are, so if you don't know anyone or haven't been to one of the previous meet-ups then pm me if you're having trouble finding us and I can let you have my mobile. Or just try and pick up the pommie accents! We're usually a fairly obvious crowd! As always, we'll post this on PIO And if you're one of the many people who can't come and are going to be at the Ashes then we'll miss you but we hope you have a great day out. Obviously we'll be having a much better day!!!!!! (Jealous... Us....Definitely!!) Looking forward to it and can't wait to meet everyone.

Smackey Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Well we had an amazing time at the Beach yesterday and thank you so much to everyone who came. It was great fun with lots of new faces. The general consensus was that we should definitely do an xmas based one the weekend before Christmas so that is what we are going to do. I will post up more details nearer the time but the Saturday before Christmas (I think it is the 18th) we will be meeting up in Wynnum at the small water park there, there is also a childrens play park and bbq's. I think we should keep the time the same at 11am. Again this event is open to everyone, and if you've not been to a Brisbannittes meet up before then please do come along and say hi, we would love to meet you. Santa hat is optional!

Smackey Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just out of curiosity is there a story behind the incorrect spelling of Brisbanites? Is it to keep the pedants away We just invented the word and spelled it that way cos we liked it. And the hubby says that if you can find the correct spelling of it in the dictionary we will happily change it. :wink: Sx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
