Get together for all Melbourne DF Members.

[Merrilyn]

After chatting with some of the guys at Melbourne Airport yesterday, while we were waiting for our fish to be delivered, we all decided a get together is in order.

How would you like to come and join an informal gathering of discus fanatics, for a bar-b-que or just sit around with some cold drinks talking fish all night.

We were planning to have it at my home, in the fish room at a day and time yet to be decided. Everyone is welcome. Please register your interest here, so we have an idea of numbers, and bring some photos of your fish to share.

BYO drinks. Food provided. :wink:

[DR.V]

hmm are we allowed to take some of your fish for a gift :P :lol: ^^

[kalebjarrod]

when will this shin-dig happen?

[Merrilyn]

Some time in the next threee weeks.

I was kinda hoping we could celebrate one thousand members at the same time. We're getting close :wink:

[kalebjarrod]

maybe i might just surprize ya and fly down

does anyone have a spare room?

[goldenpigeon]

yeah that would be good. i might see if i can do it too seeing as im on holidays

[Merrilyn]

Spare room here Ryan :wink:

[goldenpigeon]

yo kinezo or ben can i bunk at ur place?

[ctvu]

How about my fish room? :wink:

[goldenpigeon]

how about i have a sensitive back ;) LOL yer ok as long at it is weather proof and comfy ;)

[goldenpigeon]

hey guys,
my mum has said that if i find her the date and other details of this get togeather she migh consider me going down to partake in the event :D

so would we be able to work towards comming to a date and time etc in these next few days?

[ctvu]

That sounds great JN. Let our LR sort it out.

ctvu

[Ben]

LOL junior!

If you are really thinking about it let us know as we could work it out!
But you would have to behave yourself!

Ben

[Merrilyn]

Let's have a tentative date for the second weekend in July, that gives us all about a month to sort things out. How does that sound.

Do you prefer a Saturday or Sunday, and what do you want................... bar-b-que or just hot finger foods.

If another date suits, we can change. I'm easy.

[goldenpigeon]

LOL yes ben i will be well behaved... ask ryan ;) mum said she would seriously consider :D

my holidays started on the 10th of and i finish hol's on the 5th of july. if it is possible would it be alright to mayb have it some time within the 27th of june to the 2-3 of july?

and as for food merrilyn i think we should get ben in the kitchen ;)

cheers guys... hope i dont restrict the date of the meet and greet to much :)

[Merrilyn]

Moving the date is not a problem for me.

What does everyone else think?

And as for food, I definately had in mind having Ben in the kitchen. In his chef coat and all :wink:

Luvs ya Ben :P

But luvs ya cooking more :lol:

[ctvu]

Me! easy as long as week-end.

ctvu
