Canberra area Get together

[torana68 (Roger)]

Old thread getting a little long to work with, its winter , soup time if I can find somewhere, probably Fyshwick due to ease of parking on a Saturday arvo. No dates set, I'm in Sydney this weekend so what's your preference? Open to anyone who digs telescopes and will be in Canberra on the day, yes, all welcome, separate table for anyone who is from Qld and wants to talk rugby.

I'm out of town last weekend of August otherwise would be interested any other weekend.

The cafe across from the cinema in Manuka has soup. Park at Manuka pool or teleopia park. Parking is easy and its only a couple of minutes walk from there to Franklin St.

Any weekend's as good as another at the moment. I also like Manuka better than Fyshwick ... but either will do.

[torana68 (Roger)]

dates pretty flexible at the moment, can I get the name of the place for soup at Maunka?

[Kunama]

Put me down for a cup of soup and a coffee chaser........

[torana68 (Roger)]

strudel and Apple Schnapps would be good but its best served when surrounded by snow on a mountain..... so Ill have to settle for soup

There is an arcade that runs from Franklin St through to Palmerston Lane, opens out and then an open walk to Bougainville St. It's on the right hand corner as you stand on Franklin St and face the arcade entrance. See map

[torana68 (Roger)]

Thanks, Ill look when we have a date decided......

Looks ok for me.
Not too many other responses so far?

[Kunama]

3 September sounds like the plan.....

[DarkArts]

Sounds OK ... assuming I don't win Lotto and end up jetting off to Paris, or Tokyo, or New York ..... sigh ..... I suppose Manuka will just have to do.

[OzEclipse (Joe Cali)]

Roger,

your IIS PM box is empty. You need to clear some space.

[Octane (Humayun)]

Thanks for the invite Joe.

3rd September is the day after my birthday. I'll be going 4WD with the wife.

The following weekend I'm working Friday afternoon to Sunday night, upgrading operating systems. :~(

Please keep me involved in future meet-ups.

Gentlemen,

Really enjoyed meeting you and today's discussion. We should get together again and see if we can round up any other Canberra members for next time. You have encouraged me to take another look at my options in terms of upgrading my scope, once I can solve the street light problem at my house.

best regards

..... good to get together for a chat, and the soup was good

[Kunama]

Very much enjoyed the chat and the coffee.... great to meet you Malcolm and yes, we should do this again. I'm also happy to get along to any viewing evenings if anyone wants to head out of town a bit for darker skies......
