VN - BBQ/GATHERING

[Butler]

I'd like to come, it'll depend on work but I should be able to get out of it if need be.

[Mao]

Here's a few things to think about
-who's bringing what? [sausages, hamburgers, salads, oil, onion, etc, keep in mind that there will be people with special dietry requirements, such as Islamic fellows who can only consume halal meats]

-entertainment? Last time the BBQ broke up at about 5/6 [when it got dark and cold], decide on when people want to go home, what to do in the meantime, etc [though taking ballgames should be given careful consideration, the yarra is not far from the BBQ, unless you are willing to lose the ball]

-the starting time should be carefully considered, it's january, and probably Aust open, I'm guessing that place would have quite a few people. Who's going early to secure the BBQ [there's only 2], if there are quite a few people, is anyone brining seats/towels?

-drinks?

oh, and one last thing, if it turns out to be a rainy day, the whole thing might be cancelled. If it turns out to be too hot a day, it won't be fun either. planning BBQs are very risky in advance, and generally include a plan B.

Plan B could be BOWLING! Although you'd need to make a booking in advance....
Hmm find a indoor facility that'll allow you to have a BBQ indoors? (I think I know a few, although they're not in the city )

I can bring Jersey Death, Mao

Plan B - bowling.

[Mao]

[and to excal, oh lord please no, hot summer day +  jersey death = literally death]

[gfb]

I would come, but there's a big chance that I will be overseas next week xD.

Thank you for considering this important point . As I said, if I wasn't going overseas, getting the meat would be no problem. Maybe psychlaw can get the meat .

Lol indeed, but I meant, that you could have activities inside, and you could dine inside, and these places normally have a kitchen... could always use some of those grills you can use indoors? ^_^

well the meat and all can be organized after we know how many people intend to come.

[dusty_girl1144]

i might come depending on a few circumstances

Exactly, not much can be done until we know how many people are coming.

[xox.happy1.xox]

Ohhh, ohhh, plan B = bowling? Yay, there is hope of me coming.

[memka]

I"ll probably come.

[xox.happy1.xox]

Hopefully people will see me as someone nice to talk to. (If I do in fact end up going)

[cobby]

I will most probably come
