AussieVisi2r Posted January 7, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hello to all the Canberra (and surrounding district) people out there. We think that there are at least 8 of us. MicCanberra and AussieVisi2r are trying to get a group of us together for a social event / drinks /BBQ. And of course to hat about cruising. Anyone interested ????

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 7, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi Raina, RosieCanberra and I are looking forward to meeting up with who ever wants to show up and chat about cruising over a drink or two. cheers mic:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Elephant Posted January 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I could be persuaded on that one, given that the is a drink involved! North or South? The big question for those that live in Canberra! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Perhaps we should meet somewhere central for the first meet-up. (BTW, I am South).:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted January 8, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm not from Canberra:D, so I'm not invited:(, but hope you have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinCat31 Posted January 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sure, sounds good. We are Southside, somewhere central is good, like Woden :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sure, sounds good. We are Southside, somewhere central is good, like Woden :) Here are some options, but happy for other suggestions Soul Bar, Woden, King O'Malley's, Civic Kingston Hotel, Kingston I haven't been to 1 or 3 for a while so I am not sure if the atmosphere is appropriate for chatting, but I believe they have outside areas as well. cheers mic:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbane41 Posted January 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 8, 2015 There is a good pub in Kingston where you purchase your own steak at the counter and cook it yourself on the flame as you drink beer. I was there last November. Terrific pub. Myself and a few friends went down for a party weekend and are all big fans of the PM and the Liberals so we timed it to watch the second last sitting week of question time. Got to be one of the best party weekends we have ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Elephant Posted January 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 8, 2015 All of these venues sound OK to me. Probably Kingston sounds the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninaus Posted January 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2015 sounds like a great idea, Brisbane I think that is the Kingston Pub, they certainly have that sort of atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted January 8, 2015 sounds like a great idea, Brisbane I think that is the Kingston Pub, they certainly have that sort of atmosphere. Yes, the Kingo (Kingston hotel) has the steaks that you can cook yourself and it has an outdoor area with picnic tables which is nice if the weather is not too hot.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to meet up with as many people who want to come. Raina has started something that may work out really well for sharing cruise knowledge, experience and friendship.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazshirl2 Posted January 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted January 8, 2015 What a great idea for a get together. Lived in Canberra way back in 60's and 70's and have fond memories- particularly of watering holes. Sorry too far away to attend now.

TeamH Posted January 9, 2015 #15 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I don't have a lot to share having only completed 1 cruise. Booked in for the next though and would be happy to have others feed my new obsession! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieVisi2r Posted January 9, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I will admit that I was actually thinking of a more 'intimate' venue. I'm worried that if we eat a meal at a pub we will only chat with a few people. Depending on numbers....we will come up with something. Looks like we are going to have enough to go ahead. (there are also a few people on facebook sites). How about a Saturday afternoon say 21st February. I know not everyone will make this date, so maybe we should start with this and see what happens. And I don't want to make it too fancy/heavy or whatever. If we go with this then we can organise whatever we want after it. Could you please add to the list and cut and paste. thanks "Canberra Connection" as someone above said YES I will attend.

CruisinCat31 Posted January 9, 2015 #21 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) If there are already a few that can't make it that day, perhaps we can do the weekend before, or even a fortnight before Raina? Would really love to try to get a weekend where all (or a large majority) could come for our first meeting. We wouldn't be able to do the weekends after, will be cruising 26 Feb - 14 Mar :) Looking forward to meeting the Canberra Connections Cruise Critic Crowd!

Zoned Posted January 9, 2015 #22 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I can do weekend 14/15 Feb or 7/8 Feb is that any good Raina and all? Judy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrusselsGirl07 Posted January 9, 2015 #23 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi all - we would love to come along and meet up with everyone as well! It would be fun to meet up with other cruise obsessed people. Yvette (and Bill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted January 9, 2015 #24 Share Posted January 9, 2015 i'm from Coota anyone else down this way and we could even drive over or maybe meet half way but not the 21st feb, the weekend before would be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 9, 2015 #25 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Good to see so many wanting to come and meet up. An earlier date would certainly suit us and a differing venue wouldn't matter either.:D Edited January 9, 2015 by MicCanberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
