Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Any thoughts and/or suggestions for the next Cairns meet up????

The last one was a success with a good turn up.....Trinity Beach seems to be a popular choice...possibly around the end of June/beginning of July time.

Any newbies arriving or just arrived in Cairns?

Anyone wanting to meet up please let me know so I can get some numbers.

Liz
Thought would give Gill a rest from arranging this one.......

I'm a newbie and would be interested in meeting up :thumbup:

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

I will second that but I think that we are in the wrong part of the forum???

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Are you up this way now then Sue ?

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

not many takers on the meet.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Mmmm...could be a slab on the slab mate ;)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

What about Yorkeys Knob?

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

both nice settings and both shite food. just my opinion.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Depends if eating out or having a BBQ.....there is a good italian at Trinity Beach but may be over some peoples budget..I think its o.k price wise and kids allowed..was there yesterday p.m and quite a few families in there..no entertainment for kiddies though..except the beach!!!

Just thought would be nice to alternate meets to benefit those Northern beaches end..not that there are many of us! Maybe a BBQ would be a good idea..cheap and you can cook what you want then....

Bix..stop trying to get newbie treatment..and by the way..you are a bad influence with that red wine!!!!

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

You dont have to eat;) Just drink, enjoy the company and have a bloody good laugh:D How about that:thumbsup:

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

I dont remember Bix opening any of the bottles Liz:p

Any Sat in July then? 5th - 12th - 19th or 26th maybe? We are free and would love to come:thumbsup:

Looks like it could be a BBQ at yours then with nothing pink in sight:lol::rofl:

CYA soon
Gill:)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Looks like its the usual suspects answering this thread eh Karen:D

Not been on here since being back from UK trip - how are ya? Bix tells me Nigel is still away - hope he will be back in time for the next meet up!

I see a BBQ at ours coming up, invitations by special delivery:lol:

Will be good to catch up again so cya soon we hope:D

Gill:)

last time i was at the trinity beach tavern i vowed never to eat there again. worst meal we have ever had. complained and got the shrug of the shoulders and what do you expect us to do about it. top dollar for shite food but nice setting. same with the boat club. used to go there regularly for many years then they expanded ( to meet growing demand). food and service fell faster than a pam am jet over lockerbie. its the perfect time of the year for the bbqs on the beach. get some numbers, everybody chuck in 10 bucks. ill kick back with a cold one whilst bix cooks the food. perfect. ive also lived here for over 5 years and have eaten in pretty much every restaurant on the northern beaches.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

You cheeky bugger:p Sure Bix will have something to say abt that! Must say, your reply made me laugh - very witty indeed:D

We have always had good experiences at Trinity Tavern, both for evening meals and early morning breakfast. Most places have bad days dont they!

BBQ on the beach ok idea as long as its in the day light but - no alcohol allowed on the beach - is that good or bad lets think!! Although I am not a big drinker, I do like a beer or two when having a BBQ thats part of it innit:thumbsup: Just 'bring your own' would be better imo as everybody likes different stuff and we are fussy buggers:lol:

This is fun ;)





$10 each - cheap as chips eh:)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

the police would be unlikely to stop people drinking responsibly. its there to stop teenagers getting paralytic and making an arse of themselves. we have never had a problem in 5 years having a few beers down the beach. we normally use kewarra or clifton though. a lower profile. i also think the tbh counts the good days and not the bad ones. they would soon loose count otherwise.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

I didn't mention Trinity beach tavern..not my sort of place..I have eaten at L'Unico..Italian and it is great..but no good for kids as they will prob get bored..as I said before beach BBQ prob a good bet.. I eat BBQ pretty much most nights so suits me...

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

you will get a bad meal in there every now and again. my mate owns the place and the other one a bit further down. used to be called atlantis but i think its changed its name.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Quote: I also think the tbh counts...... what the:confused:

Looks like it aint gonna happen anyways as no one else has bothered to reply! Over to you Liz:)

Gill
:)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

And there was me, gonna invite you round to a BBQ at ours Richard - but not now though as might get a bad review, not that I give a.....:rofl: I love it:D

:)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

youve opened the door (has been known to be fatal)and now ill slide my 16 stone through the door and make myself comfortable. medium rare please mr bix. yes a beer would be lovely mrs bix:p

by the way. dont serve crap food and you wont get a bad review:rofl::rofl:

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

have you set a date yet?:)

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Yeah you big show offs, just cause the weather is still hot enough for bbqs up there. Bix its a year exactly since we came, gone quick hasnt it. I am now 4 stone lighter than then. We shall be coming up again never fear, perhaps we can impose ourselves on you and enjoy a nice pizza which hopefully I will be able to eat this time. I am not usually that subdued.

Jo

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Thank you for your concern Jo. It get's so boring for us at this time of year. :D
Look forward to piza time :thumbup: that's if we recognise you. :p

Say hello to Stu.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Clearly you have not tasted my BBQ cooking, but I'm getting better :D

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

12 July Southport football club :thumbup:

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

I did think of a couple of other potential venues but Da Boss won't let me say :(

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

lmao, i wish!:(

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

You can see how quickly everyone has assimilated into the FNQ lifestyle.:D

They are all so laid back now that they dont really care about having to respond any day soon.:D

WW

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

it takes a long time to work a meet up. i try to start a thread about 2 months in advance. that way you have more chance of people seeing it and new pwople moving to the area.
if you set a date then add a list, im sure it will grow quicker.
good luck guys. i wish i could be there:(

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Count us in!!! Adam and I just moved to Cairns 4 days ago and we need friends!!! ha ha! Name the place and day and we'll be there we need a few :beer::beer:

Ruth x

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

We were thinking about Haworth :D

No date or venue fixed yet Ruth so if you have a preference just say. :thumbup:

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

We would be interested in coming along too. We live in Trinity Beach so Northern Beaches is good for us!

Aly & James

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

I'll be there, any date selected yet?

Shaun

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Welcome Ruth and Adam
We were wondering when you would finally arrive..do you want to mix with us lot seeing as you are TV superstars..only joking!!
Jen and I got slated as we said it will be good to have some other young ones here..forgetting we were both 40!!! But we dont act it, and dont have kids so have never grown up...and we dont look it of course!! No comments on that one Bix.

We just need to get a few more together for meet up.....must set a date though..then we can start a list. Anyone any prefderences on a date? BBQ or pub??

Liz

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Well, I make it at least 11 so far.....so we should decide on a date???
Maybe 3 weeks time to give evryone notice and get a few more together???....or 3rd weekend in July???

Any thoughts?

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Sausages!!!!!!

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

Cant count...13...enough to set a date and place?!! Is it going to be BBQ or Pub? BBQ I vote for..preferences please..BYO and cook your own...Trinity..or Kewarra??? Not sure what Clifton Beach like..it always seems too windy at Yorkeys Knob..unless you like sand crunching burgers!!!

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

kewarra and clifton are better than trinity if your going to have a few beers. there are a few noise nazis who live on vasey esplanade who continually call the police.

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

As for a date how does the first weekend in August sound?

Re: Next Cairns meet up???????????
 

August doesn't work for us. As for location we would favour Kewarra over Clifton simply as the bus runs nearer the beach. Good luck with the organising!!
