Hi guys!!!

Finally its all shaping up! For other aussies in Melbourne (or visiting Melbourne) we are organising a get-together, everyone is welcome and hope that we'll have a good turn-up. At this stage we have

Tarajane

Goannabanda

Jenny

wheeler (me)

The date is the 16th September around 12.30-1 pm at Costello's in Berwick. I have looked up on the internet where this is and the only one I can find is

Castello's Berwick Springs Hotel Cnr Greaves & Clyde Rds Berwick 3806 9702 6223. Am I looking at the right one, never been there so I wouldn't want to give the wrong address. Alternatively if we all live in the Mulgrave area we could go closer if you like, whatever suits everyone.

CAN'T WAIT :clap2: :cool:

So sorry for the late notice, the banding lunch today (Sunday) is at

12:30 pm-Georgio's Crn High and Glenferrie Rd Armadale

Again sorry about the late notice, this site slipped my mind when i left for Thailand. If you do wanna come to the one today call me or sms me on 041 262 0461 so i can get ya a seat.

If not have a great week and it was great to meet everyone yesterday, sorry i couldnt stay long but Christopher could barely stand it, it would have been nice to actually have had a decent conversation with you all

We had a great function - with six bandits there - me, shakey, tarajane, tolmc, aus_colleen and another lady (friend of tarajane & tolmc's) - plus various family / friends making about 12 pple all up.

What a hoot we had, laughing and chatting about banded life, and beyond. Thanks to all who came along, and we hope to see you all, and more, at another Melbourne bandit's lunch, to be organised before Christmas!

With the weather getting warmer, maybe a get-together in a park somewhere (Jells, Wattle, Braeside, Westerfolds...) would be the way to go for a pre-Christmas all-of-Melb / Vic bandits' bash!

Until then, here's to more online chatting and meetings in our vairous "real life" support groups.

Cheers!

Anna.

PS Hope your Sunday gathering was terrific too - count me in for that next time.

Hi anna, I also went to the sunday get together. It was much more varied in regard to surgeons and hospitals. i couldnt stay long but it was great to meet some really inspirational ladies. i cant wait to be looking like them in a few months - hopefully not years.

Sounds like you all had fun, I am sorry I missed it, next time for sure and then I'll be a born again bandster

Hi Wheeler,

It was great to get together, thanks for getting the ball rolling. Hope your op goes well - Good luck, let us know when you are back on your feet.

take care

Lisa
