Default I think its time we had another Sydney meet !

Where would you like the meet?
We have two options both sites are great.

The first option is Balmoral Beach, this is where the last meet was held and it was a great spot. The only problem was getting to it by bus from the south.

The other is Centennial Park next to fox studios. We have had a few meets here and it’s quite easy to get to. Again the only problem is that most people who attend the meets are from the north.

So heres the idea. Why don’t we do a poll to see who would like where for the meet?
I am looking at the date for 18th of march

Soapy - I thought you had taken your meet arrangers hat off! Weren't you moving up the coast?

Balmoral gets my vote but since we haven't been to Centennial Park either I guess either venue would be fine by us! Nice to have a bit of decisiveness to get this thing off to a start, eh?!

oooooohh, at long last we can say that we will be in Sydney.

At least we will be over the jet lag by then, but will be looking for rental place - so if it does not clash I'm sure the 3 of us will be there

Balmoral (& I knew where it is!!), will be easier for us to get to

Either would be OK for us - we'd be driving anyway so let us know
where, when, and what and we'll see you there.

we've been in Sydney since the 6th Dec and it would be good to meet up with some others in the same position as us. SO far we are loving it and the kids are settling well and we are amusing most of the Ozzies we know by continually doing things not quite the right way!

18th March is good for us. I don't know either place so whichever the majority wants is OK with us.
