Default OK Sydney, Can We Do It?

HI Sydneysiders,

We are being put to shame by these country Cohenites. Alice Springs, Geelong and Harvey Bay are all over us in terms of get togethers. Are we going to just surrender to their success.

Come on I reckon we can do something and get together. Perhaps a park or a coffee shop. City? Parramatta? Hurstville Park? What about Homebush at the Olympic Park - fairly central to everyone.

Date - how about one weekend day.

Suggestions?

Shanara

Hi Shanara,

If it works out to be a weekend that I can make it to Sydney (I'm in Orange), I'd love to meet some other Cohenites.

I've been lurking around the edges of the forum lately, not posting, just getting my motivation and inspiration from everyone here to get the last 10kg or so off that I regained on an overseas trip and haven't been able to lose.

I'm back on the program, and meeting some other fabulous Cohenites is just what I need right now, so count me in.

...definitely count me in too!

I would love to meet up with other Cohenites for a picnic lunch one weekend.
I've met up with Shazza & Ronky in the CBD after work a couple of times, but would love to meet up with other people and share our individual experiences of the fantastic journey we are all on!

Looking forward to "seeing" you all soon
Eve

Happy to travel pretty much anywhere around Sydney. My only hassle is being very busy for next few weeks, but pick a date and I'll do my best to make it

I'd like to suggest a picnic lunch on the weekend of the 2/3 May (either Saturday or Sunday) - the first weekend after the school holidays. It's three weeks away... and I've got tentative plans to be in Sydney that weekend anyway. Any takers?

Default Picnic Lunch

Hi Sassy K

That sounds like a great start for a plan.

OK Sydneyites - which day - Saturday or Sunday? May 2nd or 3rd?

Location - some suggestions : Hyde Park, City. Olympic Park, Homebush. Oatley park - very bushy and beautiful. Centennial park. We have lots of choice. I am in Ashfield so willing to travel up to about half an hour so all those locations work. Open to others as well.

OK - what day and where? this is your big chance. If everyone says what would work for them then surely we can get something happening.

We can't let these country bumpkins put us to shame. How can I show my face in Alice Springs if we can't at least get a picnic going?

Shanara

Default Sydney meet-up...at last!!

Both days work for me.


What about a picnic in the CBD?
Somewhere like Hyde Park, close to David Jones & the Pitt St. Mall [to satisfy the shoppers in us all?!?!] & St. James train station.

or...

the Royal Botanical Gardens, we could all go for a nice tour through the gardens after our picnic perhaps

Great! Being near the shops sounds like an excellent idea to me, Eve.

What does everyone think about:
Saturday, 2 May
12 noon
Meet at Hyde Park fountain - West side (closest to the shops)
Wet weather plan:
Same date/time
Meet at base of the stairs to the food court under Myers (Pitt Street Mall end).
