RedDragon Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone in Brissy wants to catch up for a lunch or dinner later this month....or for a fish trawl around the Brissy lfs....??? I think it would be a good opportunity to put names to faces for the local forum members....and a chance to chat about bettas.....

stubbskm Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Would like to meet up but as we live in Rocky, it would have to be over the school holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon Posted September 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Just checked the dates for school holidays - 23rd Sept to 8 Oct.... Actually, some time around them works really well for me...I'm taking 2 weeks annual leave at that time......the fish I've bought from eBay and AquaBid are arriving around that time...

RedDragon Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 How does everyone feel about a BBQ lunch to meet and chat on either Sat. 23 Sept. or Sat. 30 Sept.???? From there we can decide if we want to do future lfs trawls or even discuss the possibility of shared shipping of fish around Aus. We could meet at a park that should be central to all of us.....I was thinking about Captain Burke Park (underneath the Story Bridge).....there are some BBQs near the corner of Annie St and Holman St. Here's a map of where the park is Captain Burke Park Your thoughts????

Liz40 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 30 September is better for me. Captain Burke Park is fine also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornDog Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 should be fine for me as long as there place to park my car I'm happy hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I'm working both of those days but will be there in spirit Have a great time everyone! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Leela...do you work Sundays??? I'm sure no one would mind changing the day to a Sunday... Horndog - there should be room to park your car.....if not there are more BBQ sites to other side of the park and I know that there is definitely car parks there... I don't particularily like having either of my cars out of site when I do things like this either... I can do a recog this weekend to check out the parking situation if you'd like.

RedDragon Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Ok....how does everyone feel about the weekend of the 30/9 - 1/10, either the Saturday or the Sunday (as long as it's not raining ) Let me know which day you prefer....

PeterJ Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll have to check the kids' calendar but sounds good otherwise. Are we talking partners & families or am I the only one with immediate family who aren't fish oriented? Is there much in the way of playground stuff there (I have four boys, six and under...)?

RedDragon Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Partners, friends and family are welcome.... Can't remember if there is a kids playground....put I sure that someone could bring a freezby or back-yard cricket set.... But I'll check it out when I do the recon....and let everyone know.

RedDragon Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 All, I went and had a look at the facilities available at the park today.....Captain Burke Park (underneath the Story Bridge).....near the corner of Annie St and Holman St (near the Holman St Ferry station). Ok, here's what's available.Covered picnic tablesElectric BBQs (no change required), will need to be cleaned before useFull toilet facilitiesOpen grassed area for playing backyard cricket or freezbiesSwings & play gym for the kidsParking area and street parking near the picnic tablesWe will probably have to get there a bit early to ensure tables, etc. I would suggest a 10:30am or 11:00am start on Sunday 1st October. So, as long as it's no raining the BBQ is on..... Hope to see you and your families there.... Cheers Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
