melbourne cruise...22 Feb 09 *date changed*

[toy550]

Since there were so many that couldn't attend the last one or completely forgot about it, there has been talk of a another cruise. I've set the date for mid feburary, 22 to be exact. Haven't chosen the location yet. Just wanted to get everyones opions first on where it should be. From that the best location will be chosen within a month.

Thanks

Terry has had an excelent suggestion for the cruise, the route will be as follows.

Meeting point
North-West corner of the Eastlands Complex in Ringwood Ground level - Access from Ringwood St.
There is a large carpark there that is empty Sundays (too far from the shops!) and dead easy to get to from Eastlink for those coming from the other side of town, or other methods not using Eastlink.
The carpark is multi-level, but the ground level is airy and easy to get into and out of, from Ringwood St.

[Brayden]

One suggestion I have is for everyone to PM the organiser with their mobile number. That way you can get a reminder SMS a few days before to remind you slackers who forgot last time!

[toy550]

Very good suggestion, Brayden... i'd be more than happy to sms everyone a day or two before.

I look like being interstate now on the 15th of Feb.
Unavoidable unfortunately.
Any chance we could defer a week to 22nd Feb?
Slimmest chance I'll still be away that weekend too, but much smaller chance than the 15th...
