Beer & BBQ anyone? Saturday May 1?
|
Sat, 17 April 2004 12:48
|
 |
am not trying to pre-empt any cruises ... but i thought maybe a few of us forum members from Brizzie might want to meet/catch-up/crap-on?
a simple meet & eat might be acceptable for all?
Date: Saturday 1 May
Time: 12:30pm
Location: Orleigh Park, West End
Where in park: bbq tables between Area 2 & 3 (see map of park for details)
Parking: on-street along Hill End Tce and Orleigh Tce; and small off-street park at Area 1
Bring: bbq food; drink, cooking & eating utensils; an esky for cold drinks, hat, something to sit on (e.g. fold-up-chair or rug)
Location map:
<http://www.whereis.com.au:80/whereis/mapping/geoco deAddress.do?streetName=Hill+End+Terrace&poiTy pe=&suburb=West+End&state=Queensland&x =50&y=10>
Map of park:
<http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/community/facilitie s/parks/booking/orleigh_park.shtml>
How to get there if you use public transport:
-Catch a city cat going towards the Uni of Qld, get off at the West End terminal, turn left and walk up Orleigh street toiwards park. Ferry info is here: <http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/transport_parking/c itycat_ferry.shtml>
-The West End <190> bus also terminates at the West End ferry terminal. You can catch it from New Farm, from a few stops along Adelaide Street or at the bus stop at the cultural centre near South Brisbane railway station. Use the Jouney planner: <http://jp.transinfo.qld.gov.au/> to find more info but don't forget to put in the right date.
We may have to queue to use the bbq's so unless someone gets there early to reserve a table(s), then aim for shade under the trees.
plus if we're lucky, the west end nissan/rotary population might oblige us with a few power runs along the park - is a handy straight-line testing street but attacts an unfair amount of police attention. 
The labour day (may 1) march ends up at Roma Street parklands so that's probably a good place to avoid - crowd wise that is.

Good idea. Post it to twincam.org for a bigger response.
I'd hate to be the guy on a car forum catching PUBLIC transport though, lol/

a bit offtopic but it was good to see you at the nats blake,
sorry i didnt get a chance to stick around and chat but i had to find out when i was running and get some ice onto the I/C and stuff, i was hoping to catch up with you at the sunday night dinner but didnt see you,
and chuck, i heard about ur misshap on the way to dubbo, that sucks big time! but i guess you dont have many excuses to throw the 1ggte into the good ole celica!
i should be up in brissie again in the not to distant future, so we'll have to all go for a beer or something!
cheers guys

hi chris,
that name - Simon Konig - sounds vaguely familiar... does he run a tyre place at Indooroopilly?
i thought it was the Celica Club of Qld - but the contact listed in the club listing in Qld Street Car magazine is different - unless he is not the normal contact for that club? Next time i'm that way, i'll ask the guy for a card - anyone else on the forum been a member of that club?
cheers & see ya soon,
Charles.
btw: Blake - maybe next time you should insure with the Ulans & Associates Protection Services mob? rapid (if somewhat messy and violent) recovery a specialty...

i figured we'd actually sit down and talk/eat/veg-out for a few hours? let the testosterone level lower for a while... we can still talk car shit but it wont hurt to shutup and enjoy the view...
i've got no wheels at the moment ... so i'm all for pervin', talking and cooking 
... plus it might give us a break from online activities (e.g. we have a life outside the internet) and we can prove to each other that we can actually function socially without the assistance of a car and petrol and have enuf culinary skills to actually cook something at a bbq
think of it as chill-out event... turn off the car, log off the computer, have a quick drive down to the river and chill for a few hours...
i'm sure some of you might want to go for a drive aftrwards - there's plenty of destiantions from a central location like west end... your choice...
it sounds like Ben & Blake are itching for a brisk drive thru the countryside but all i'm willing to help with is the bbq & chat thing... what happens outside that is your responsibility mostly as i don't have wheels yet....
as for skirmish... next meetup? any venues to suggest? what about us non-violent types who would prefer a walk in the national parks of SE Qld?

Is the plan to just bring enough food you yourself and cook it all together or what? I think that would be the easiest way.

it was good to see some new faces! ... and to hear what sounded like a shared desire to get some more club activities going and to see how we can all benefit from being in an organised club.
...plus a few of us said we were going to financially join toymods!
Frank (francis.puran) had a suggestion that we meet up for drinks somewhere comfortable? maybe after the driving&drags on the 29th?
anyway maybe we start a new thread for regular social events?
also... any feedback on venue? should the search for the ultimate BBQ spot continue? i'll get some portable signage for the next gig.
... and can someone tell me what's with tall guys drive sports cars for short people? ... i keep meeting tall dudes who drive MR2s, Celicas and other - despite them heading into 6 1/2 foot height territory? even the prev owner of my old green RA23 had to drive with the seat right back and leaned half-way back 'cause he was a 7ft basketball player.

Sup Boyz,
Just thinking of some of the places to meet after the drive /drag on the 29th. Garden City seems like a good idea (depending on were you all live) No dress code for the pub, you can grab a meal and there is public transport close by. So in-turn we don't have to meet straight up after the do, its more like a chilling out session or something. My prob is that i might take the '28' of the road by that time so i might not be able to attend but we'll see how that gose. And YES there should be another thread for meets. All-in-all it was cool ta meet ya'll.
