Melb meet/dinner

[Greg B]

I have just realised that our last Melbourne dinner was around 12 months ago, 11 August 2006.

Must be time to do it again.

Let's say early September?

Do we have any interest out there? Also, ideas for a venue.

2005 we met at Totos pizza when Gary and Leigh visited Melbourne,
2006 was Tho Tho in Victoria Street Richmond (interesting coincidence with the names.)

Post your thoughts and ideas.

I am holding a few goodies from Poon via Gary just to sweeten the pot!

cheers

[Louie]

I'm interested!

... depending on the day as September is turning out to be a busy month with trips, shift work and weddings ...... I'll work something out ....

I would love to catch up with some more Melbourne users

Cheers, Elena

..... and I will ponder on some venues ....

[Hudo]

Hey,

Katie and I would be up for it depending upon when....

Mark

[Oz_Beachside]

Hi Greg , Sharon and i would like to attend

A suggestion

maybe a morning shoot at Koroit creek for waterbirds(Egrets ,Herons Spoonbills ,,,,Tiger snakes etc just kidding !) and then some industrial shots nearby followed by lunch at Williamstown and more interesting area's to shoot in the docks/beach after maybe

i know the area's well (all very close/compact to one another) and can post some pics as examples if you like the idea

If you want more idea's let me know

Now ,,,,do i qualify for a prize ,huh ????

[Greg B]

BUMP

Norm, I was thinking in terms of a dinner where the other halves can come along and
see why it is such a good idea to buy more and more equipment because
it leads to sociable behaviour and a better life.

I know that the lovely Sharon needs no convincing and is a keen photog herself, but perhaps we
can co-ordinate a shoot over dinner?

[Louie]

Any consensus on a day yet? My September weekends are looking full with work etc, next free weekend time pretty much starts Sun 23rd onwards.

If it ends up being earlier on, have a wonderful time and I'll make it to the next one, otherwise .... October????

[Oz_Beachside]

can we lock somehting in, maybe 3-4 weeks in advance???

[NJ]

i'm definately interested!

[DaveB]

Did anything happen with this?

[Oz_Beachside]

dont think so, lets get one going!

[servaasproducts]

A good central location is Carlton, and if you want a suggestion for good food at a reasonable price, my pick would be Dimmatinas

[rflower]

I'm still in ... how about something that Oz suggested before, that it be held at a similar time as the Sydney Christmas dinner ...

[Oz_Beachside]

think I have a race on 8th, but thats ok.

so, melbourne crew, how about 8th, Carlton, Dimatinas, 7pm?

[DaveB]

I'm out of the country for a week from the 5th, but see what works for everyone else.

Hey all,

Kate and I will have to cancel. We had to change our weekends around when we have the kids to fit around some shoots last weekend. So we'll have to pass on this one

Have a great time...

Mark

[Chaase]

Sorry with no confirmation the handbreak has another invitation which we will be attending

If this does not happen hopefully we can organise something early new year.

[Oz_Beachside]

maybe we reschedule for a jan dinner?

I just was reminded of the fact that we have are going out on Saturday night ... so looks like I am out too. I reckon something next year would be good, and will look forward to it.

[Oz_Beachside]

sounds like its fizzled out, Jeff, see you at the "Pro for a day" workshop!

[photograham]

I wanted to come, but had an earlier family booking. Lets look past the funny season, and make it early next year.

[whoalse]

I would love to come but I'm attending a function planned earlier with some opportunities of photos (models i think but it's a surprise for us). It would have been nice to meet up.

[ozboyerp]

Good evening all.

Anyone interested for a dinner for the Melbournians...

Will be great to catch up with the collegues...

Pierrick

[Oz_Beachside]

how about we add to the DSLRUser calendar, Wednesday 23 April, 7pm in Lygon Street, and see how many can book that in?

[whoalse]

Wow......just a few days after my special day and my return from family holiday....!!!

[MHD]

sounds like a possibilty!

[ozboyerp]

Sounds good to me.

I look forward to it.

Exact location to be confirm maybe a week before!




Pierrick

[Oz_Beachside]

[rflower]

I would love to come ...

Any chance we could move the date (Thu 24th even), so I could attend another meeting?

Can better halves come as well?

[Oz_Beachside]

if it doesnt disrupt those already committed, thursday works for me.

Greg's the boss man of this thread so we'll await his agreement,

[Bindii]

Awwwww... I miss out again... always my luck.. I'll be there on the Friday 25th leaving Tuesday 30th...

[ozboyerp]

Well,

The more the better for a nice get around talking photography, but we will never get everyone around.

If all persons interested can post preference (end of April) of days so we can all advise together to set a date!

Honestly, I don't mind. It would certainly be great to get something organised.

Friday 25 is a holiday. ANZAC day.

So... thursday night is good. Bindii will be in town on Friday through to the following wednesday. Is Friday good?
Bindii, if it was Friday, are you available for dinner?

Otherwise, thursday would be fine too.

Venue? There are lots of places in Lygon ranging from (unnecessarily) expensive, to old school pizza/pasta joints.

Availability people. State your position. Let's hear it.

[Oz_Beachside]

i can do friday, would be nice to meet up with bindii too

[ozboyerp]

Here it is.

Have we got a date...

Looking forward to it...

Oh look its okay.. please don't arrange anything around me.. if you do have the dinner and I am in town and can get there I will come cause it would be lovely to meet you all.. but if I don't get to attend thats all good and well also...

[Willy wombat]
