Aussie Readers discussion

I saw Andrea today and we discussed having a meet up. May is busy with both the Sydney and Melbourne Writers Festivals taking place. We thought June might be good before winter really sets in. Please post here your preference of 8th, 15th, 22nd or 29th and I’ll update this post with details after that.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.

Thanks Diana. I’m pretty flexible, but I say the sooner the better! The 8th would be great.

It would be great to see everyone again. I'm not free on the 29th but the other dates are fine with me.

All dates fine for me at this stage 😊 and not planning to go away for the long weekend on 8th

I should be good for all of those dates!

I have invited the following
Sandy
Rosie
Jo
Jenny
Mary
Natty
Denise
Genevieve
Tracey
Jack

And a few other Melbourne readers I know. Is there anyone else I need to contact?

Diana - 8th June is the best day for me.

Hi Diana, thanks for getting us together again! For what it's worth, I'm free most of May, but June is tricky. I'm having surgery mid June, making me unavailable on 15th, 22nd and 29th. At this stage I'm available on 8 June but need to keep this date free because it's likely to be a combined niece/nephew birthday party.

Totally understand I might have to miss out this time around. Would you like me to invite Heather?

Yes, please invite Heather

Mish has already responded with her date preferences.

Oh good :) Wish I could go - I'd love to catch up with you all again.

I dunno, it seems like blasphemy to gather without you, Tracey! I'd be willing to wait til July for you. :)

Yes, I was looking forward to giving Tracey the new school bookmarks. We had some really outstanding entries this year.

Does May 4,11 or 18 work for any of you?

The 18th would be ok for me, but not the other two May dates.

Awww, thanks guys! I'm definitely free on Saturday 4 May and possibly Saturday 11 May as well! I could make 18 May as well (to catch Andrea!) but would only be able to stay for a little while.

Excellent! I am free on all of those dates - looking forward to seeing you all again 😊

hey all..
June I'm more free..with only the 29th out of play. may is more tricky for me I'm only free 11th of may.. but no stress if I need to miss this one this time again..

Hi Diana, May 18 is not good for me. All the other dates are fine

Hi Dianna,
anytime in June is good for me.

May 18 is out for me

I can't do any of those May dates sorry :(

OK I think we are going to stick with June, with apologies to Tracey. I am going to say June 8 as it seems to suit most people.
I am just recovering from a book that made me sob so I’ll post more details tomorrow.

Totally understand and thanks for trying Diana, I'll do everything I can to join you all 😃

I have posted a new thread for the meet up.

Hi Diana

I am sorry, Diana.

I am unable to come tomorrow, I am not feeling very well.

Enjoy a wonderful time tomorrow, everyone. :)

No worries. Get well soon and take care.
Hope to see you at our next meet up.
