Canberra Meet December 12

They weren't expecting anyone to ever be in Canberra.

soon we'll be leaving our cars at home and catching the light rail to nowhere...

Supplies bought for Sunday breakfast BBQ, based on the numbers so far it won't be a big turn out compared to Saturday, but not too many people have said a proper yes or no for the Sunday, so I am just guessing at this stage.

Well everything is as done as it can be for this weekend's mini meet here in Canberra.

Just a quick recap, the full details on where everything is and when, and a link to the itinerary is in this thread, please print out a copy for a list of lefts and rights for the cruise around the lake after lunch.

Please note that neither the lunch or dinner venue has reservations, so we will have to make do with whatever seating arrangements each location has upon arrival.

Plan B for lunch will be fish and chips at Yarralumla Yacht Club, and the need for this will be assessed after arrival at Brodburger.

Plan B and C are also in place for photo opportunities as well.

If the car park opposite IKEA is full or doesn't allow enough space for final photo op, then we will head directly to Old Canberra Inn.

Sunday breakfast BBQ has 5 confirmed people so far, and I have hopefully catered for approximately 20. It is BYO drinks (all kinds), and anything else you wish to eat whilst there. The menu is bread rolls (still to be bought), sausages, bacon, eggs and onions with a compliment of sauces. Plates and cutlery supplied, and there are no bins, so all rubbish must be taken when we leave.

PM me for my mobile number if you feel the need for it. Otherwise, see you there!

Gonna have to change cruise route on Sat thanks to a triathlon, standby for altered cruise info before midnight.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

If parking or overcrowding is an issue upon the groups arrival at Brodburger at Midday, a decision will be made on the spot about ordering take away food and going to Telopea Park, opposite Brodburger or if that is unsuitable, we shall move lunch to the fish and chips shop at Yarralumla Yacht Club.

Due to a triathlon closing several major roads in Canberra on Saturday, the cruise has been altered slightly, the new map is online, and new directions are online as well, both accessible from here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OSj-Jw1Qd5tDqYxsMNl3gnDDL-cFM8oDcEVAfaPxQ9E/edit?usp=sharing

If you are aware of who is coming and suspect they may not see this, please let them know. Thanks.
