October get together !
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

- The Spiegeltent has free live music from 9:30 pm on Saturdays if anyone will still be awake! And TeamLab is a free exhibition open 1-5 on the Saturday.
- Not sure where in Australia we will be living or if we will be homeless, but I plan on being there!
- Hmm, I am working my way through the Melbourne Festival program. A mentalist in the Spiegeltent could be fun but as tickets start at $59, I need some guidance? There will be a free program in the Spiegeltent also, but getting us all in for anything on spec could be hard. If anyone else has looked at the program, let me know if there is anything that interests you. Regards
- Hi @tigerbeth I'm happy to be part of it. Won't need anywhere to stay as already Melbourne based (northern suburbs) but we have a spare bed should any country/interstate person should want it. First in best dressed! Close to the station too. Thanks Beth!
- 19 October is Caulfield Cup Day
Here's a link that you may find useful to tie into the planning

I'll join you, we can be "leave me alone" together until after that first cup of coffee then all's well with the world (sort of). - I’ll bring a coffee machine. Not worth talking to me in the morning otherwise. My family say I am addicted. I say leave me and my coffee alone and no one gets hurt.
- I would absolutely love to but I suspect it won't be possible. Hard to know for sure at the moment.
- Impossible for me to say yay or nay at this stage. I will if I can and would stay where ever.
I did suggest earlier on that BCNA may be able to find an accommodation venue that would let us piggy back on their corporate rates for anyone travelling interstate. These things are a 'thing' as I know from past experience. - Definitely coming. Happy to go with the flow regarding accomodation and activities. As to the cost - isn't that is what credit cards are for?
Like @Blossom1961 just need somewhere to "have a camp" after lunch (Kimberley lingo for a sleep/ rest/ nap).
Melbourne Art Festival sounds wonderful.
