Thanks for opening a new thread.

I don't have a car so I would need public transport.Train would be best for me, I wouldn't mind city Centennial Park sounds good to me, as everybody could catch a train to /from there.
Homebush or Paramatta sounds too far.
Ah and the day , in the next two weeks I have Monday 's and Thursdays' still mothers' group so any other day for me, but I would prefer weekdays.
Sorry if I sound unflexible !!

Hope we can organize something, would be lovely!! :smiliedance:

[MW&S]

yep City is good for me too.

Id pick u up cordu but dnt have two carseats!

And yeah a weekday is good for me too.

Maybe a Tuesday then?

[GraceUnhearing]

any day is fine for me :)
i have a car too so i dont mind where (as long as its easy to get to i hate sydeny traffic!)

[cordu68]

Tuesday sounds good to me, how about Tuesday in a week, March 20 ?

[MW&S]

Yep sounds good to me.

Tuesday 20th March

[GraceUnhearing]

no worries, but thanks for the offer:)

Tuesday sounds good to me, how about Tuesday in a week, March 20 ?

[MW&S]

Ok what about the tues after that?

[GraceUnhearing]

yeah that should be fine with me:)
im going to QLD next wednesday to the thursday after that so i'll be back on the 22nd :)

[quitecontrary]

Hello, I'm a Sydney person too! Centennial Park is fine for us - it was my front yard when I was growing up. Any day is usually fine. Yay to meet some friends in person, and some little people too!

[quitecontrary]

ps I think we should pm final details as this forum is open to any type of stranger who cares to pry on mums and bubs (according to bubhub protocol, and I believe there are a lot of strange people out there)

[RavenDancer]

hey just read the thread im free whenever and ill be catching a train from the moutains as i dont have a car, (and ive never caught the train to sydney before) just pm me with the details and ill get myself organised looking forward to it!

[cordu68]

hey just read the thread im free whenever and ill be catching a train from the moutains as i dont have a car, (and ive never caught the train to sydney before) just pm me with the details and ill get myself organised looking forward to it!

I just saw that Centennial Park is not near a train line at all or am I missing something. As I'm not very familiar with Sydney I had no idea.I just had a look it would take me
almost 2 hours to get there by train and bus, not sure if Jasie can take that.

Is there maybe an alternative location where we all just have to catch a train, easier for us who are dependent on public transport.

Just another stupid question, do I have to pay extra for bub on public transport.

And another thing came to my mind , How do we recognize each other, I know how each bubs look but not the mothers.:p

good thinking quitecontrary , we should pm each other details maybe sms and show each other photos of the mums too.

[RavenDancer]

i was talking to my nan this afternoon and she said there is a beautiful park near central station called prince alfred park how about that? is that easy for everyone?

and the bubhub ribbons i have on order lol so im ribbon-less

[MW&S]

Ok so we will pm each other final details, ill send a preliminary one now and everyone can give feedbacK! ill include my mob and then maybe everyone else can do that too...:thumbsup:

[GraceUnhearing]

isnt the park near central train station a bit iffy?

i've always thought i didnt lookvery nice.
maybe we could all meet there and go somewhere else lik darlingharbour or something?

Kellie

[andrewsmum]

i've always thought i didnt lookvery nice.


:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Sorry Kells but I thought this was funny!!

Don't know which park you are referring to, how about Hyde Park?? I'll check out the street directory aswell. And also, I'll have a twin pram so you guys probably will work out who I am before you see me!! LOL...

I'll go see if I have a BubHub ribbon somewhere though...

Tues is fine for me, I think I might, JUST might attempt the public transport experience LOL!! Don't really enjoy driving into the city...

:thumbsup: Kimberley on organising this. Will PM you shortly ...

[RavenDancer]

[cordu68]

i thought we were meeting at central and then all deciding where to go, i could be wrong, im most likely am wrong! but we need to work it out soon!!

I thought we would go to a Park in North Sydney which sounds nice !!

[MW&S]

ok so according to our pm's im a yes. :thumbsup: we r all clear on meeting place now i think, cordu nth syd wouldve been nice but then majority of ppl, apart from u and i would hve to cross the bridge, new place is just as good.

c u all then .. xx

[cordu68]

no worries I'm fine with Town Hall :yes:

[GraceUnhearing]

just a quick question

as its raingin here now.

wat are we going to do if its rainging next week?

[MW&S]

I was thinking the same thing kellie! Ill go see what the weather channel is predicting, ill be back soon, :)

[MW&S]

Its says, possible few showers 23deg.

What does everyone think?

[GraceUnhearing]

might be a bit difficult if its raining as most of sydney isnt undercover.

[GraceUnhearing]

ok so its still raining here today so i dare say its going to be rainging tomorrow.
its also dam cold here!

i know Kylies twins have been sick (according to her post) migh not be a good idea for them to be out in the wet and cold if they're still sick(poor little things)

i'm still up for it if everyone else goes.

but maybe we need to find another meeting place out of the rain or something?

[quitecontrary]

At the moment here its sunny, though I'm not sure what the prediction is for tomorrow.
Will pm a suggestion for a place to meet adjacent to the dry weather location. If I miss any of you please let me know.

[MW&S]

Oh kylie, hope ur twins are ok.

Its pretty sunny and nice in syd today. So i think it might be ok tommorow.

Kylie, the pm you sent about an alternate meeting spot is good. Im worried courtney wont find it though! Mary are u getting the train? You could meet courtney and walk down with her? I might be getting the train so i could...i havent decided if im driving yet.

Cordu are u coming?

xx

[andrewsmum]

Twins are OK now (thanks for asking) and looks as though weatherwise we'll be OK aswell.

Can't wait to meet you guys IRL!! :p

xx

[OscarTheGrouch]

Thanks for the PM's. Not enough notice for me to organise these 2. But will be interested in meeting up with you all next time. Have a great time, enjoy!!!!:D

[Sabby]

Sorry all I couldn't make it. I would have loved to come but a friend of mine was supposed to visit and we've been trying to organise this for past few weeks and she backed out in the last minute.. So Chelsea and I could have come after all.

Howeve I'm not to keen with public transport and I don't drive to the city. Maybe next time when it's a bit closer to my area and I can drive there then I should be able to come.

Hope you al had fun!

[MW&S]

Hi Girls,

I just got home. Just wanted to say thanks for a nice "picnic" and all ur bubbas are gorgeous!!

C u soon, hope everyone got home safely

xx

[quitecontrary]

It was lovely wasn't it? And weren't we lucky with the weather? I am glad to have met y'all (as they say in the Deep South).
Genevieve and I went down to dh's work, and ended up having dinner in Chinatown. It was such fun to be back in the city, and catching the train and everything!

[andrewsmum]

It was great to meet you all!! So good to finally put some faces to the names on here. ;)

We got home safely too. But I'm soooo exhausted after all that!!

If anything else could go wrong in my day (LOL, it's all funny now but it sure wasn't at the time!!) I got to the platform only to find the train I wanted to go on was leaving :mad: Had to wait 20 minutes for the next one!!

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for us! :rolleyes:

[GraceUnhearing]

Maybe next time when it's a bit closer to my area and I can drive there then I should be able to come.


closer?

i traveled from Wollongong by car 1 hour then train 45mins and Courtney traveled 3 hours to get there on public transport
hahaha

its not that bad!
if we can do it with younger babies im sure you and Chelsea will be fine :)

[GraceUnhearing]

was great to meet you all!

[MW&S]

[quitecontrary]

I know but I'm a bit of a woose.. I don't drive anywhere that's more than 30 mins away and I hate catching public transport.
But I'm really spewin' we couldn't make it. I will try an exra effort next time..

I'm glad you all had a great time.

[cordu68]

Hi girls :wave:

It was great to meet you all and put a name to a face.:yes:
I enjoyed our picnic so much in the CBD so I went back yesterday for a picture perfect day to take pictures of the Opera house in the sunshine.

Unfortunately Jasie was a bit uncooperative and screamed through the whole photo session.:p.

I'll pm you the link to all the photos I have taken @ our picnic.

Mary can you please pm also the link to your photos if you have uploaded them on the web.

Thanks and cheers :)

[quitecontrary]

I am getting DH to sort out the photo/web etc stuff as I write! I only took a few pics - managed to get everyone except Genevieve it seems.
Will do as Cordu suggested soon.

[GraceUnhearing]

bump

does anyone want to catch up again?

[MW&S]

Yep im up for it Kellie...Cordu has left the state! hehe...and Raven when do u leave??

[quitecontrary]

Me too, if we can get it together before the 2 of August! That will be when Genevieve joins the jetset!
Same place? Same time?
Or does someone have an idea for an equally central place for those who don't drive? Or should we take up Kellie's wollongong challenge?

[andrewsmum]

:yes: Yeah I'm up for it too - I could perhaps say I'm easy, it doesn't matter where we go.

Parramatta, Homebush Bicentennial Park, Wollongong or Shellharbour ...

[kazandsteve]

heya all iam up for it too
i live near kellie at wollongong-dapto area
i will be away from the 20th till the 30th of may but anytime after that would be kewl

my daughter is 5 months old this week u probably seen me around in the december 06 threads abit

let me know when and where u decide to go or kelly if u could let me know

thanks kaz

[MW&S]

Well how about the 1st week of june, on wednesday? Which is around about way of saying June 6th...:laughing:

I dont mind where...what about parramatta???

[quitecontrary]

Sorry, you will have to count me out of this one - am off on to take the daughter to her grandparents place on the 2nd - Heathrow here we come! They are so excited about seeing her, Dh is so looking forward to showing her off to his side of the family, in a very understated English manner.

[Sabby]

Hi All,

Chelsea and I would really love to come!! If it will be Parramatta - definetely we can come. But wollongong is too much of a challenge for me. I won't be able to come then.

Anytime of the week is good for me except for Wednesdays. As I have mother's group those days.

So what do you guys think about TUESDAY 12/6/07 at Parramatta? There's a park there too.

[GraceUnhearing]

parramatta might be a bit of a hike for me i think
changing trains and everything.

[andrewsmum]

Can I throw a spanner in the works and say let's meet at the baby expo in Homebush June 1st to 3rd??

Are you up for something like that Kellie?? Otherwise I think perhaps another meet up in the city may be better for all of us?? :confused:

[quitecontrary]

Kylie, you are right, I am leaving on the 2nd of June, not August - we will be back on the 4th of August. God knows what I was thinking when I last posted here.
So, much as I would like to see you all I won't be around for a while after 9am on Saturday.

[Sabby]

Andrewsmum - My hubby, Chelsea and I will be going to the expo this saturday about midday. So if you decide to go on this day hopefully will see you. I've still got your mobile so will sms you if you also decide to go on saturday.
