13th

Thanks to the event organiser for reminding me that I hadn't logged my attendance at the conference, and the associated travel bugs
 

9th

Thanks 0319 for organising these get togethers...was nice to catch up with people whose names we find in all the logs. As with some of the others, the hard part is attaching the "real" names to the geocaching names!
Thanks to everyone who grabbed a few trackables to move along...I can't believe how many there were!
Looking forward to the next lunch already :)
 

8th

Had a great time and like Samwalkers my smiley faces have been dribbling in since last lunch. Its those darn mysteries.

Great that this event was so close to work - it meant that I could linger longer than I might have otherwise!

Terrific chance to catch up and to meet some new faces. Really nice to get to meet Everlasting, finally met Mtbikeroz, Mrs Winglen, Captain Tomato and Rextrex - all very familiar names that I had yet to put faces to.

Of course, the problem now is trying to remember everyones REAL names - think I might have to write a list!

Well done O319 - I've really been enjoying these lunches and it's been a real boost to the local caching community!

Thanks!
 

4th

Nice to see so many at the lunch. Thanks 0319 for a great event.
 

4th

I couldn't plan ahead this week and with 15 minutes to go jumped in the car and made it.
Lots of people to meet - too much to say - too little time.
Isn't that great.

Only 13 smiles since the last meeting - I have been subdued.

4th

I must say how impressed I are at the number of people who turned up to this. I was concerned that the numbes would drop off quickly if we did this every month but are now convinced we should keep going with the monthly events. My attendance sheets shows 24 caching identities and 28 people attending, plus a few Geokiddies. Well done to all of you.

Don't forget the next one is a Christmas Event at Honey Suckle Creek..
 

4th

My first attend the event at ACT. Great to see many new and old faces. It was nice to meet new faces whose name seems to pop up in so many logs - wing6rider, mtbikeroz, winglen, SecretSquirrel-BJC, Mercuryprawnhead and FarmerFrentzen also Good to see you again - RatPackLeavings, Tankengine and Sol de lune.

4th

2 M's from the M_family had a very enjoyable geo-lunch. Thanks for organising the event O319.
looking forward to the next one
 

4th

Finally, my first one of these lunches I was able to attend. Seems to be quite successful, so many faces. Good to catch up with the new faces too. (Apologies to Gigglys - forgot your face). Thanks O319, looking forward to the Decemebr event.
 

4th

These lunches really are a great idea. I missed last month's, but did get to the first one which didn't attract such a crowd (because there was no smiley attached perhaps?) On that occasion it was the die-hards. Great to see the popularity today, and a very suitable venue with lots of space. Nice to meet some of the new cachers as well as old friends, and without wishing to single out anyone it was great to meet Everlasting whose name seems to pop up in so many logs. Thanks heaps O319, well done.
 

4th

It was great to get to another of these lunch time events. Really enjoyed the chance to catch up with several familiar cachers and to meet a few new folks. Well done. CT
 

4th

My first attendance at the monthly lunch event - what a great turnout and super choice of venue. Lots of room for moving around and plenty of opportunity for chatting. Thanks O319 for organising the occasion - it is a great opportunity for meeting, catching up, and planning more fun ahead.
 

4th

Another excellent turn out. Good to see this event is getting bigger each month.

Still didn't get to talk to everyone, however the December event will be a good chance to do that. The numbers for that event are building as well. Should be a good night.

Thanks to 0319 for today's get together............


 

4th

Another lovely lunch time get together! - An hour almost doesn't seem long enough! (I didn't get to catch up with everybody!) - But hey - it's better than nothing! Thanks O319 for organising! Looking forward for the next one already!
 

4th

A great turn out and always fun to catch up with a few familiar faces and a few new ones too.

Thanks O319 for organising!
 

4th

almost forgot, but luckily my google calendar reminded me... great to have some regular events, and good locations too
thanks...
 

4th

Wow, what a great turn out, just goes to show how popular these monthly lunches are. It was great to see everyone again and to meet some new faces - apologies to those we didn't get to chat to today. The amount of trackables that were dropped off was amazing - too many to see them all and I hope O319 doesn't get left with too many. Wonder what the geomuggles thought of it all? Anyway, we had a great lunch and meet and greet - thanks for organising it. Shame we couldn't continue the caching into the afternoon but work beckons......

We can't do the Xmas do. Although it does sound great.  

3rd

Hello everyone, we are all set for tomorrow, thanks to everyone who has indicated they will attend. Anybody who wants to trade a pathtag with me, I will have my new O319 "Glow in the dark" tags there. See you there 12.15pm start.

Will make every effort to be there - at least for a while. Christmas event should be good.

Not too far from work for this one. With crystal warrior.  

28th

I should be able to make it.  

27th

I'll drop over for the lunch. Can't commit yet to the Christmas event as I have too many unknowns, but the location is a great choice.  

23rd

Will be at this one, work schedule willing.

The Christmas party sounds great too!  

22nd

Lunch.....CHECK! BBQ dinner event.......need to confirm with the "Minister for Entertainment, Finance and Appointments" for further instructions on this one........  

22nd

I will be at the lunch event.

Friday 4th December for dinner/BBQ/Beer/Sleepover at Honeysuckle???? Sounds good. As long as everything works ok, I would attend. Will confirm at the lunch on the Nov 4th.

Thanks 0319  

22nd

2 of the M_Family will attend lunch and 5 M's will come along for the Christmas party!
Looking forward to both events.  

22nd

I will make every effort to attend.  

21st

Thanks for organizing  

21st

Oh wups - and won't be able to make the Christmas dinner.  

21st

Yay!!! Last lunch was at Mrs MPH's work and now this one is 2 mins away from mine!!!!! Hooray! Count me in!

And while you are nearby, I would be happy to help out anyone who wants to attempt Coombs Art..........  

21st

Probably just one of the Clan will be able to attend lunch.

Unfortunately Christmas dinner would probably be over by the time we could get out to Honeysuckle (Jim doesn't often finish work before 2000hrs in summer), so we'll have to decline the invitation. We could make it out on the Saturday morning to join the overnighters for breakfast - how about a breakfast event the next day too?  

20th

Will be coming! Not quite sure about the Xmas dinner though as I have a young family. Class it as a no until further notice from me. Cheers.

20th

Count me in - of course, the bush camo won't help much for finding urban caches after the event.  

20th

Oops, would also attebnd a christmas event - Honeysuckle creek campground / BBQ sounds FANTASTIC.  

20th

Yay, I can make this one.  

20th

I'll be away for this but the 4th December sounds interesting subject to some employment considerations
