Megagirl Posted August 24, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi guys, My hubby came up with an idea the other day and I thought I'd suggest it on here. I mentioned to him that there were a lot of CC'ers coming from overseas and spending time in Sydney either before or after their cruises on ROS. He suggested we could schedule our Sydney Xmas Party to include some of them. While I'm not offering to organise it (too busy at work at that time of the year), last year's was good and was the first time I had actually met any CC'ers. Jarrod, you did a great job organising it. Any thoughts? Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted August 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi Jenny, Jarrod has been doing some preliminary organisation of the Sydney party via the Facebook group. The date is 29th November, with no venue decided yet. Will let Jarrod fill in any other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemaiden2310 Posted August 24, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi Jen if u have a look at the facebook site u will see that an end of year party is being organised as it is in november sometime it is just being called end of year thingy. no specific date has been set i dont think but everyone has something on chrissy time and i think the earlier in nov the less likely it will clash? and get more people there i suggested a harbour cruise with the island theme but whatever .... join up facebook and have a look Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieCruiser Posted August 24, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hey everyone, As Geoff said, I set a preliminary date for the 29th of Nov. Seems dates are an issue obviously. I don't think we want it too close to Christmas obviously. I know a Harbour Cruise has been suggested. For those of you who did the Queen's Harbour cruise, it would be similar to that. A chance to get together and meet some of our fellow CC'ers and have a good old yarn and laugh.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickalex Posted August 25, 2008 #17 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Chez's back yard has already been suggested for a coastal version of the same. Chez i would be there in a heart beat.Just a thought but lets time it so i can convince wife or convince my bank account we can do another cruise but it all depends on you coming Chez:D:D.The whole family is now addicted to cruising to the point we tried to book the next ten days after 14 days onboard for the first time. I will be hunting for bargains over the next few months and Chez can you let me know if you find any. Minx and JP, it would be great to organise a cruise with you guys and Chez, say 28 days plus Hawaii etc, JP is going to kill me the next time we meet.:D or maybe not.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmac Posted August 25, 2008 #18 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Lets have it in Tamworth which is half way for both, hint, hint!:D And let's make it late January so I get to go to the music festival too:D . If I happen to make it up ther next year Mick, I'll let you know & we can have a drink. All depends on finances as we have our cruise 2 months later.

Mick, would be great to meet up with you and your family:) I already know Karens, and they are great! We are cruising on the 9th January for 10 nights, hey Mick, perhaps you can make that one with me and Minxy:D Chez xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, given the choice between Pacific Sun & Cairns & The Great Barrier Reef, and Tamworth, I think I know which one wins ;) No offence meant Michalex!!!

karmac Posted August 25, 2008 #25 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The festival in 2009 runs from Fri 16th Jan - Sun 25th Jan. I went in 2002 & 2003 (each for the last 5 days, not the whole 10:( ) & have been dying to get back there since. The atmosphere is awesome and I honestly don't think you have to be a country music fan to enjoy it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I make it in '09 but if not, definately '10.
