Anyone in Perth, Western Australia (for the benefit of our friends in Perth, Scotland - or Perth, Tassie for that matter  :lol: ) interested in meeting on Sunday 21st Feb?

No bites yet  :'(

I PM'd a dozen members before I came over last year and as you know got 5 of us together on a week day.. Just takes a bit of organising

Not everyone reads every message (or visits that often)

Ash can bring his Commodore...as long as he parks at the other end of the carpark lol.  I wonder if we should implement a system where a person has to donate a nominal amount to the website, if they turn up at a gathering in anything other than an i30!!

That wouldn't be fair! I was driving a "No Birds" Corolla while in WA last time  :lol:

You will have to hire an i30 next time Dazz  :lol:

I doubt I could have got a brand new one for $38 per day with unlimited Kilometres and only $300 insurance excess...cost me twice that in Melbourne just for a Tiida  :rolleyes:

Hey that is my birthday!

I would love to come but I have the kids that weekend (2.5yr + 1yr) as the wife is off scrapbooking the entire weekend!

So unfortunately that is out for me :-(

Still only four of us, plus a friend who has an i30.  Naughtynat is also going to pass on the details of the meet to someone else who owns an i30.

Anyone else who has an i30 and will be in Perth on Feb 21st is welcome to attend.  I haven't had any objections to the venue, so we will be meeting at the Dome Cafe, cnr Amherst & Warton Rds, Canning Vale around about 3pm.

Thank you Dave and Rob for turning up today.  It was nice to meet you both.  I was hoping for a couple more - we didn't notice anyone walking around in the Dome Cafe looking lost.  Where did you get to Ash?

Sent out 19 emails/PMs regarding the meet and got only nine replies.  Thank you to those who replied.

Hopefully I can organise another get together in November, and have at least half a dozen people.  Try to keep a weekend or two free during mid/end of November.

Hi Mel.. It is hard work organizing a meet isn't it  :rolleyes:

Looks like I was lucky to end up with 5 on a week day...

Might see you in November although I might be a bit early for you (haven't booked yet)

I'll PM you when I do...

Got any Pics of the meet Mel?  I was just in Newman last week, bloody hot!  I forgot you were there coulda caught up for a coffee or something.  The missus was a bit annoyed I left her at home with a one week old baby but I gotta pay the bills somehow!

Nice pic Ben. Congratulations :)  If you're coming back this way sometime, PM me.  I just loaded the pics onto the computer - the "people" ones are all blurry :rolleyes: but I'll put them up anyway.
