Auckland dsp member dinner

[Lauren]

We'd like to organise a dinner outing for Auckland Members -
We are thinking Thursday 25th - and probably somewhere reasonably central like Mt Eden or Newmarket or Ponsonby -
If you are interested holler here

[webfrau]

Sounds a like a great idea but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to come :(:cry:

[littlekiwi]

I'm definitely interested - if I know soon enough I could ask for time off as I normally work Thursdays

[littlekiwi]

As long as I could get back to Britomart to catch my bus or train home if my mum can't pick me up I'm not fussed as to where the dinner is

[Donut]

Sounds a great idea, I'm in, depending on timings etc!

[Lauren]

I talked to Pam today and she needs it to be later and so do I - is 7.30 too late for you all ??

[littlekiwi]

that is fine by me as i may be able to work until 7 that day (symonds st). If I do work Newmarket or Mt Eden would be best as I think getting to Ponsonby could be a tad tricky. My last bus home is at 11.30pm from britomart

[quanita]

Erm can someone have some Sauv Blanc for me :) Just a little one else I get smashed tee hee One of these days I am just going to show up at someones doorstep

[littlekiwi]

Just checking - you are thinking about Thursday 25th September am I correct?

At this stage I have applied to finish work at 7pm but depending on how busy it is I could easily be able to leave by 6.30pm - I'm about 15-20 mins by bus away from either Newmarket or Mt Eden but most likely at least 30-45 mins away from Ponsonby

[Erica]

I'm in...

[littlekiwi]

anymore news on this dinner?

[Lauren]

Not at this stage- seeing if anyone else is interested

[littlekiwi]

Thanks Lauren - I have up until Sunday night to cancel my time off request thats all

[littlekiwi]

I have the night off so is it a happening thing or not - no problems if not because I will stay home and scrap instead

[Donut]

I'm going to have to take a rain check on dinner this time, I'm afraid, I'm in England for a couple of weeks and don't get back till the 1st.

[Lauren]

we may delay this then for a few weeks and get more people to come along

[littlekiwi]

I am on annual leave from 28th October to the 10th of November so baring the days 31st October to 2nd November & 8th November I am free which would suit me just fine for dinner.

[Abby]

I was just talking Ted into coming for a visit :) .. he's actually quite enthusiastic (amazing), but it won't be quite that soon - probably the year after - if we're all still alive and kicking!!

[Lauren]

Well we can organise another dinner in your honour then Abby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Abby]

Wouldn't that just be the most awesome thing? Who knows if it'll really happen with the current financial mess going on, but it sure is an exciting thought!!

[webfrau]

We'd definitely have to meet you WHEN you come Abby, dinner at the very least.

[Abby]

I've always wanted to visit NZ, since I was a little person - just something about the scenery - actually very like our own here, but we have snakes and I don't think you guys do :) ... and it would be a huge bonus to actually meet some real live DSP people!!!! :)

[shazzt]

No snakes here!!! That would be so cool if you could come - there would be a dinner for sure - at the very least!!

[Abby]

No snakes, no poisonous bugs (Australia), great people, great scenery - what could be better (and food!!) ... we'll have to cross all our bits that I can resist spending any money for a year or so!
