shruman Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) G'day all, just posting to see if there would be any interest in a meet at the sydney botanic gardens for saturday 20th? I'll be in town for EGA on sunday the 21st so will be hitting up the gardens fellow member 8145 has expressed interest aswell. So far we have discussed a time of 10-11 am at the macquarie st entrance & a possible picnic lunch so if your keen make a post or drop me or 8145 a PM. I'll also bring some Esphand & Tricho seeds to giveaway. Would be nice to meet some sydney folk & check out some plants.

8145 Posted October 8, 2012 Ill be there for sure and will bring some seeds for exchange. I reckon this is a good opportunity for us (those who dont know each other) to get to meet and chat. I am going to the EGA. Come on people tag along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lhb2444 Posted October 8, 2012 I'm down for this, closer to the 11 mark would probably suit me better but thats only cause I'm lazy so really what ever time suits everyone else suits me fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anodyne Posted October 9, 2012 Yup, I'm keen - will probably try to drag along a few lurkers too If people aren't too sure about arrival times - maybe we could arrange to meet somewhere inside? In the herb garden or cactus garden - nice place to lurk for half an hour or so while people trickle in? Although I might just be suggesting this because I don't know any street names - is the Macquarie St. entrance the one with all the cool pieces of carved sandstone dotting the hill?

Justler Posted October 10, 2012 Sounds good! I've been meaning to check out the gardens for agessss! I should be there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted October 14, 2012 Awesome peoples sounds like we have a meet. "If people aren't too sure about arrival times - maybe we could arrange to meet somewhere inside? In the herb garden or cactus garden - nice place to lurk for half an hour or so while people trickle in?" Yeah I think that is a good idea, herb garden 11 ok?, I'll probly get there 10ish myself but the herb garden looks pretty central & easy enought to swing by.

Shamanistic Posted October 17, 2012 Is there any plans of a meet at ega as I'll be down there on Sunday and I'd love to meet more of you but won't be down in Sydney on Saturday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horus Posted October 18, 2012 I think with the one degree of separation between us all, if we all meet one or two people we have met at meets, we should all meet up pretty organically I reckon. Or if the Sat group reunite we should all know at least one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
