Hello Ladies After organizing our Melbourne ladies lunch in April , we thought we may have a weekend gathering to enable interstate ladies to come & meet us all.At this stage the date is the weekend of 19th October in Melbourne .I am more than happy to co-ordinate & organize ,but will need input from those wishing to attend . Please give me you thoughts on …...1. Are you coming ? - level of commitment & where you're coming from ?2. Accommodation - City ? country ? Find you own accom ? Price you want to pay? Happy to stay in someone's home ?Apartments, hotels , Airbnbs ?3.. Activities - Lunches, dinners , picnics , movies, theatre, winery tours or anything else you'd like to do .This can go ahead with only a few people or a lot , but I will need to know ASAP of numbers especially if booking accom for everyone .Looking forward to your thoughts & meeting everyone Cheers Beth x

That date’s the last weekend of the Melbourne Art Festival and the last time the Festival will be held in October, as it moves to be a winter festival - hooray - in 2020. Program is out on July 16. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I’ll check for anything interesting.

Not sure where in Australia we will be living or if we will be homeless, but I plan on being there!

At the other end of the spectrum, the Jasper is worth a look online. It used to be the YMCA many years ago but offers normal motel type rooms (own bathroom) at a very modest price for the city. It’s close to the Queen Vic markets.

Thanks Kate. I may take you up on that. It just depends on my roster; I've been working at least one day every weekend and can't really afford to knock any hours back.

October get together ! | BCNA Online Network
