Annual coffee meet

The list:

Gerry will bring drinks, beverages and juices. Will also be arriving with Pavoni (may not leave with it)
Matt will bring Filo who will bring salad
Cameron
Gary
Michael
Ozi
Glen (for coffee only)

I will roast up some lamb - if you would rather eat other meat, please bring along.

Would others please bring:

Dessert
Sweets or something for the coffee bit (we will have some)
Bread rolls


Ordinarily, we would have a coffee meet in March. For the last few months, we had been looking for a new place, packing, moving and unpacking into the new place.

Consequently, it didn't happen.

I will, therefore, put it up for EOI for a coffee meet in July sometime. It can't be the weekend around the 20th.

Let me know availability and preferred dates. Suggest a Saturday.

Sounds good.

We'll also be having a dinner-meet somewhere (restaurant) in the not too distant future. I'll start a new thread for this presently.

I am going to keep my ear to the ground regarding this one, as always I am interested, but for the moment I am still working Saturdays.

Sounds good Patrick. I've yet to attend to one of those but will try and make this one. A good caffeine fix and I won't sleep for 3 nights. :D :D :D :D

Looks like I already had a thread.

Looking at first weekend of August from about 9am. Either Saturday or Sunday are good for us, so will go with consensus.

Hi Patrick, Is there room for one more? Are you going to have any of that super expensive coffee made from monkey poo? If not I can train my dog to eat coffee beans, should be nicely processed by August?

Hi Glen, plenty of room for the old crowd. I was going to try getting the boys to 'process' the beans for me :)

Thanks Patrick, I am sure the boys will do a great job!

"Boy processed beans..." ummmm... pass.
However as my Giotto has just self-destructed I'll be in desperate need of a coffee by August :shock:
I have been known to drink coffee on either Saturdays or Sundays so happy either way.
Ozi... bring your xe1 and soak up some pointers from a few of us.

Given that, perhaps the coffee meet can extend to a BBQ with drinks (and salad) after for those who wish to hang around?

As an aside, I have an electric lawn mower that is sitting unused. It is an Ozito brand but does the trick. If anyone wants it for themselves or anyone else they know, they are welcome to it.

Anyway, for the BBQ, I shall BBQ roast a decent portion of an animal, may I ask that others bring salads, dessert, bread and drinks?

I should be right to attend. If someone could PM me with exact date, time, address etcetera, it would be dandy appreciated. Many thanks.

I would bring the XE-1 along but alas it is still at Fuji being repaired/replaced, and I haven't even fired a shot yet.... :(

Good as done. Maybe I can bring some koala poo coffee from the north coast as a treat?

Looking good, Patrick could you edit your first post in this thread to add the final details, may clarify the thread.

I can bring drinks, which I think I also did last year, thus this could well be my specialty :o

Soft drinks and juice? and maybe some carbonated water for those north shore types..

i will also bring the pavoni along and some recently burnt.. i mean roasted beans..

I'll check in later this week to determine the requirement.

Patrick, I should be right for the BBQ etcetera. I shall bring what I can find. (Don't worry, I won't be cooking anything and thereby endangering the health of the aforementioned visitors. :biglaugh: )

I will need some details as to exact time, address etc. Many thanks.

Coffee meet kicks off at 9:30 or thereabouts and the BBQ from about 12pm, but I am flexible. Just don't rock up at 5pm! Or on Saturday. Or at 6am.

I will PM my address as it is top secret (except to those who know it).

I shall be arriving in my Aston Martin, with my shoe phone. I will go through 5 sets of automatic doors and then I will enter a red phone booth. I will need Control's secret number though, eg ****86. :biglaugh:

'K, so everyone who has said they are attending should have my address. Guard it. Reveal it to no-one on pain of death.

Now, for expectations: I have not had a chance to roast coffee since moving, so we will be drinking Vittoria beans that have been sitting on the shelf of Woollies since 1983. Just kidding. The beans will be bought, but sufficiently fresh.
