Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast people - Catch up first Saturday of every month

[princess_sunbeam]

It has been 3 months since we met up in Brissie, and I reckon it is time to do it again. Anyone else game? Maybe if we incorporate Gold Coast people too we could meet somewhere in between.

Suggestions as to when and where??

[Claire in Brisbane]

Hi, I'm pretty new to this and would love to meet up with other Cohenites in Brisbane! I'll be in.

Jen,
I would love to meet up with everybody again and meet any newcomers as well. I'm pretty open to any time, as my surgery date is May 6th would prefer it not to be too close after that date, not to drive for a week afterwards. Hope you get more responses soon.

Hi guys,

I am in Brissie on the afternoon of the 21st June ( just getting in early ) if anyone would like to do a coffee there somewhere easy to find.

Where will you be staying?

[ConnieK..]

Hey Claire

I'm also in Brissy if you'd like to hook up. Where abouts are you? I have a friend from work who is also on the program and she wouldn't mind joining, the more the merrier.
Holah back and we'll see where we can meet.
I'm also new to this 3 weeks on now.

Hi All, I was just wondering if the 21st of June get together was still happening, if so I would really like to come.

Thanks Bride2be

[princess_sunbeam]

Yep, it is happening, we just need to work out the details? Probably lunch at Get Hooked at Bulimba.

Stay tuned for further details!

[ConnieK..]

Hi all,

I don't get in until 1.30 and need to check in at the medina. Drexyl has offered to pick me up if necessary, or if someone can help me with directions I can just come to where you guys are as soon as I get in. How long do your meets usually last?

Connie

[drexyl]

I can still pick you up lovely or if someone is closer I don't mind giving up the honour!!
Usually goes for an hour or 2 or longer if people don't have commitments elsewhere?
Might be a bit late for lunch, perhaps an afternoon tea or early dinner?
What does everyone think?
Counting down the sleeps!!!!!

[princess_sunbeam]

I think 4pm @ Get Hooked at Bulimba. That way if people want to stay for afternoon tea, or dinner, or whatever, it is a good time. Does that suit?

I was hoping to get to this but unfortunately 4pm doesn't work for me next Sunday. I could get there for lunch but anyway ... c'est la vie. But out of interest I went to Get Hooked yesterday. There is a new chef who knew nothing about the skinny minnie menu and managed to make a complete hash of prawns and salad. I suggested he familiarise himself before next weekend as there was going to be a few of you turning up!
Maybe take your scales with you too! My prawns weren't clean, and had shells on which made them messy to eat. The salad didn't have the promised dressing and I suspect the weights were incorrect. The prawns were the most tasteless I have ever had. Sad really as I was really looking forward to a non home prepared meal. But let's face it - it is all about the company. Have fun!

Going to be out of Brissy this wekend. Hubby has a V8 supercar drive that I got him for his birthday. Only weekend they can do before it expires...sooooooorrrrrryyyyyyyy. So wanted to come.

[drexyl]

Don't be looking too hot standing on the kerb, might get mistaken for something else.....??????
Is your mobile still the same gorge? Will talk before Sunday ok?
Only 5 more sleeps!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[ConnieK..]

Yep still the same number

should be fun

[Shanara]

Phillida,

Interesting Vee and I had a disappointing experience when we went there a few weeks ago. The veges they served were totally not Cohens except for a few strands of red onion. They had included broccoli, snow peas, baby corn and something else I can't remember.

We had to send ours back as it was just not Cohens.

Be careful. maybe someone in Brissie need sot ring and speak with owner. has it changed hands?

Good luck
Shanara

What a great afternoon spent with fellow cohenites. Nice to catch up with Jen, Vee, and Sharlene again and then to also meet Melissa and Connie for the first time in person. We were able to cover sooooo many topics from cohens issues to more personal topics. thanks Jen for organising the get together. The best looking table in the place. haha
