Pptrixibell Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Would love to come along, but don't think my visa will be granted on time or my house sold that quickly - let me know when the next one is though I'm sure my fiance and I would be interested in coming along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik_kershaw Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Nice one so far there is: Nik and my misses and our son Jacqui and Steve. There is still room for more as you can see so get in soon so I can book something up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Samfire Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi Nik - would love to come along! I'm very isolated where I live at the moment (Griffith - hate it!!!), so I am very eager to meet up with others from all around Canberra, and find a network of friends that will get me out of my 2-bed apartment, where me and my 4-year old are pretty much couped up at the moment. Hubby working lots of hours, so don't know if he'll make it. Let us know more about the time and general area of the venue for the meet up once booked and I'll be there! Thanks for taking the time to organise it. P.S. Make sure you're asbestos free!!! Ha, Ha, Ha!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 101126 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Hi Nik Count us in, we arrive on Friday 30th October, so we will be the ones sleeping in the corner. Like Samfire we will be staying in Griffith (Sam appartments I think, but for 5 weeks while we find a longer term rent) and have no idea about getting around town. I am hoping we can get into a 'three' store to get an Apple Iphone so that i can load Sat-Nav software so hopefully find the place. There are four of us, Tracy (my wfie), Claire (17), Lisa (20) and myself; Peter. Unfortunately Squem is not coming until December. Please let us know any further details asap as we fly out on the 28th. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can get the manager to do his Rindecella monologue for you, he's pretty good. Peter, you may want to rethink "3" - nothing against them as long as you are going to only ever need your phone in a central metropolitan area. If you intend to venture further afield then have a look at some of the other telcos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Quoll It is a shame that you will not be able to make the Harcourt and thank you for the advice regarding three, I must admit to looking at three as their price plans looked ok, I could get Skype for those calls home (at no/little cost) and also with it in mind that when not in a three zone; which I understand is limited that I had auto roaming to Telstra’s network, however if that is not the case I am happy to look elsewhere. Any advice always welcomed. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nik_kershaw Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 I'll book the table on the 24th so that I have final numbers by then and also able to give enough notice for people to turn up etc. So far we have Nik, Misses Nik and baby Nik (Marcus, Deirdre and Preston) Jacqui and Steve Samfire and 4 year old child plus hubby if he's not working Peter, Tracy, Clare and Lisa (asleep in the corner) So anyone else has a week until I book the table. I'll try and book the weather as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Samfire Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks Nik - if it's after working hours (which I'm assuming it will be - or maybe on a weekend) then you can count in my 12 year old son also, and I'm sure hubby will be a definite provided he's not working!!!

restfamily Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi I will be there with my two children, who are 4yo and 2yo. I have not been to that pub, how suitable is it for little ones? Is there much room to run around outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik_kershaw Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 no idea to be honest, I'll add you to the list, I've never actually been there but from the sounds of it, the place is quite good. Hopefully someone on here will be able to answer your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chrissygirl Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi there is room for little ones to round around, but there is no playground and no fences, so you would have to keep an eye on them, cos of the car park. Pretty much safe tho, and usually quite a few kids are there in good weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
