snowcherry · **October 06, 2009, 11:49:16**

so any of you slack buggers ever do Brissy or Sunshine Coast meets etc?

just curious as there seems to be a lack of topics for Brisbane in here

maybe you should arrange one

OK,.... how about we organise a meeting at Maleny on the Sunshine Coast?
Not only is it a beautiful place within easy reach of Brisbane but I live
close by there

2i30s · **Reply #12: May 15, 2010, 13:55:50**

there are heaps of you in Brisbane.

agentr31 · **Reply #13: May 15, 2010, 14:48:00**

lol there should be i see heaps of i30's driving around and probably 10+ on the way to work and back every day!!

Surferdude · **Reply #14: May 16, 2010, 05:44:51**

At last count I made 5 of us on the Sunny Coast which is an easy enough drive to Brisbane. Not sure how many down there but I seem to have noticed a few.
And Maleny is nice. Mary Cairncross Park would be good.

It takes a bit of "PMing" to get any numbers together (I managed to get 5 of us together when I went to WA last year - out of around 20 active members in that state)

lol sounds like the maxima club!

i was just wondering if there was a deacent enough number of people here, if there was i thought it would be nice to have a meet and greet of some sort mabey with a bbq or something!

Dazzler · **Reply #18: May 18, 2010, 14:43:01**

If you go to Welcome Section: Google Map: Members Locations via the index of the forum you can zoom in on Brisbane and quite some time ago before the job got too big for encountar and Hemmi they managed to flag about 13 members just in Brisbane and probably twice that many in easy driving distance of there...

I'm guessing it wound be closer to twice that many now but half of them aren't very active (so a bit of work to get good numbers together) by this clubs past standards half a dozen would be a good number .. think the most successful drive meet so far was some of our Canberra members.. (correct me if i'm wrong)

its a lovely idea mate - certainly give it a go!
i'd might even pop by if it was at a time i was driving down to brissy but i've only done that once so far; next trip is maybe july? but obviously the timing for me is very difficult.

you'd need to plan well ahead, advertise it well. don't pick dates that are obvious 'big' footy dates or long weekends where guys are not likely to be able to make it due to other *cough* reasons or getaways.

agentr31 · **Reply #20: May 20, 2010, 13:07:59**

yer i know, timing and dates need to be made well in advance! especially when the people arent "hoons with nothing better to do" hrmm ill have a look and a think also its hard for me im on call all the time.. i suppose thats what happens when you work in maintenence!

snowcherry · **Reply #21: May 20, 2010, 13:16:27**

i wonder if you could start a new thread?
i realised mine didn't have the best attention grabbing title when browsing through the threads.

something like ' brisbane meetup for mid 2010' ??

you woudn't neccessarily have to arrange it, just start it and see what the feedback is first? or if someone else might like to arrange it?

Dazzler · **Reply #22: May 20, 2010, 13:31:10**

Like this snowcherry

Actually you've had plenty of response - just not many takers

Maybe you need to be less tactful with the slack buggers

snowcherry · **Reply #23: May 20, 2010, 14:18:10**

thats great Dazz thank you
yeah that little sly wink in the first post, just didn't get them staying them around much did it.

maybe some leather and a whip needed?

Seoul-mate · **Reply #24: May 21, 2010, 07:47:38**

Count me in.........and can I second Suferdude's suggestion of
meeting at Mary Cairncross park near Maleny ( under 2 hours
from Brisbane), although a trip to Brisbane would also be fine for me.

Russ

Surferdude · **Reply #25: May 21, 2010, 10:33:02**

I'm in, almost certainly.
But I have my son, daughter-in-law and grandson here in June for about 10days.
Then we'll be overseas for some time in Oct/Nov.
So pretty well any other time would be great. Because I'm retired I'll just fir in with others.
