carlturney Posted December 9, 2016 Hi All (today = 9 December 2016), I haven't attended a face-to-face meet in well over a year, I think. (Am tall, grey-haired, bespectacled, ex-Yank.) Miss you guys. Is this thread current? Are we talking about Sunday 11 December ==2016==? Is it still in/near that Tecoma Rotunda near the cactus gardens at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens? Someone please tell/text me ASAP on 0427 024 735. Ta. I've got 4 BIG pots of some beautiful-smelling/tasting hops plants I want to give away... 2 female, 1 male, 1 unknown (forgot to label it last summer). Who wants? Ring or text me. We'll arrange a date and time and place. (You need a big fence for them to climb up.) I couldn't get there until 4pm-ish (work conflict), so probably not worth me going (sigh). Heart is still with you all, even though I never visit here or attend the meets. Carl Turney Knoxfield, Vic 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlturney Posted January 7, 2017 Hi gang! Yep, Saturday the 28th sounds great to me. Time? Place? (As usual) I've been too successful in my garden, and (as in the past) would be bringing half a dozen or more species of viable plants to give away. Cheers, Carl (tall, grey-haired, ex-Yank) p.s. Note that EGA is having its AGM the following Saturday (the 4th). If you're not an active member, it's well worth it. A great public service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlturney Posted January 15, 2017 Hi All, Very little response, so far, for something on 28 January. Something else has just come up on the same date and time for me. EGA is having its AGM on Saturday the 4th, and during it we could promote something for after then. So, how does noon, Saturday 11 Feb 2017, Tecoma Pavilion, Melb Botanic Gardens sound to you all? Comments? Pass this suggestion on to "the regulars" you know? Check following posts for confirmation? Thanks, Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obtuse Posted January 16, 2017 sounds great to me Carl. i know There are plenty of lurkers who never post to confirm, but I agree it would be nice to have feedback before committing to dates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irabionist Posted January 23, 2017 is the 28th of this month still on? I'm down for that and the 11th. Or we can just all meet on the 11th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carlturney Posted January 23, 2017 Hi, Next Melb meet noon, Sat. 11 Feb 2017. Just to clarify: I think I was the one who first suggested the 28th (i.e. this coming weekend), and I decided to POSTPONE it until Saturday 11 Feb 2017, starting at noon-ish, at (or near) the Tecoma Pavilion in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. Looking forward to seeing you all there, including first-timers. Remember that Gardens staff frown upon folks moving plants into/out-of the gardens. So keep donations or exhibits in your car, or in your bag. Cheers, Carl (tall, grey-haired, glasses,Yank accent) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carlturney Posted February 9, 2017 Hi All, Yes, still happening 12 noon, Saturday, 11 February 2017, in/near Tecoma Pavilion, Melbourne Botanic Gardens. Be there, on time, or miss out on the free plants I'm giving away. (Those using public transport, bummer.) Current forecast is +30C and minimal chance of rain. I myself can only stick around until 1pm-ish, sorry. Cheers, Carl Turney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
