The cafe below was suggested at our last meeting.
Covid rules permitting of course.
Post by: ruSTynutz on July 21, 2021, 09:31:43 AM
Perhaps we should think about it in a month or two? :think1
Post by: ppopeye on July 21, 2021, 09:46:15 AM
We can probably do this at short notice as well. I will check for interest next week and see what happens.
Post by: ppopeye on July 25, 2021, 10:37:47 AM
Expressions of interest or not are welcome. If there is not much interest we will put it 9n hold for another time.

Re. the latter, this is in the middle of family birthdays, we usually have a family lunch on that weekend, this is usually on the Sunday, but it could be on the Saturday. Given the chaos we've experienced over the previous 18 months (or so) and as the best laid plans of mice and men have a habit of easily and quickly going astray, the family lunch will be on the Saturday. Even if it is on the Sunday, I'll be there Saturday sans Helen, as she will likely be preparing the Sunday feast.
Post by: ruSTynutz on July 25, 2021, 01:51:12 PM
Regardless, I plan to be there if weather & Dan permits. :thumbs
Not sure about Sue coming at this stage as she may very much be flatout doing catchup lessons...
Post by: ppopeye on July 25, 2021, 02:34:57 PM
I t could be as early as 1030 or 11 for coffee and then lunch or just lunch. I dont mind so if anyone has a preference or a need speak up.
Russ do you know the place and whether we need to book. Probably not for 6 or so but if more come??
Post by: ruSTynutz on July 25, 2021, 04:47:07 PM
As for booking, if the weather isn't the best, I reckon it would be a good idea as they don't have a lot of tables indoors.
If we're happy to just sit in the park opposite, there is plenty of seating and even a closed-in bbq area...

Otherwise their phone number is (03) 5998 3957

As this is a "Brunch", what time are we meeting up???
Regardless, I plan to be there if weather & Dan permits.
I'm flexible re times so I'll go with whatever others reckon...
Thanks. I’ll see how we go.
Weather forecast is good, travel and get togethers permit, so I'm planning to be there around 10:00am.

It's the forecasters that need to be correct.

Garry, as thread starter, only you or Admin can change the date in the first post heading. Re. a new date, I'm currently happy for Sat 14 Aug, if that doesn't work out, it can always be changed.
Re. Smeaton and Toora, they're far enough out to leave unchanged, for now.
So over to you.
Post by: ppopeye on August 05, 2021, 05:36:45 PM
Are others available. I can message the cafe when we see the numbers.

As for Swan Reach, I reckon that's gone even if the lockdown does finish in a week as the borders are never gonna open again with all this covid around... :-[
Post by: Nigel on August 05, 2021, 07:10:26 PM
I have some maintenance issues with my Van and Trail bike in Rushworth, pencilled in for the 14th, and I still don't think this lockdown will be resolved in 7 days.

It's not looking overly likely that any of us will be able to attend unless things change drastically these next few days... :fp
But...on a brighter note, with us country bumpkins getting out on a good behaviour bond from midnight tonight, we can at least do some travellin' and perhaps have our own mini RTE elsewhere! :hatwave

Perhaps it would be a good idea to start off a fresh topic thread for this RTE? :think1
Or just amend the date in the opening post.
Post by: Williamson on October 27, 2021, 02:14:28 PM

Yeah, Garry just edit the date in the title and in the 1st post.
Post by: Williamson on October 27, 2021, 02:17:05 PM
Sounds good.. :eek
:thumbs
I'll reckon I'll be there (and probably Helen), if only to enjoy a free drink, surely someone will shout me for my 70th the next day.
Post by: Williamson on October 27, 2021, 02:32:31 PM
- The venue has advised that we will be limited to 20 attendees - so this is a case of first in, best dressed.
- The venue requires all attendees to be fully vaccinated, not VAX proof, no service. They would prefer the proof to be provided a day or two prior, this will speed up the process of checking in when we get there.
I think all that this will require is for Garry or I to forward a complete list of full names of attendees, and for each individual to provide his / her and partners VAX certificate to the venue directly, probably via SMS, but we'll check on that matter.
Please comply, don't make it hard for or embarass the venue, OzSTOC, Garry, me or other members - or yourself.

Excellent plan.
If they can provide us with an email address or SMS, that will simplify everything and cut down on the BS! This may be a good practice for all RTE`s? :thumb
Might be prudent to restart the list?
Post by: Williamson on October 27, 2021, 04:24:07 PM
... This may be a good practice for all RTE's?
I've messaged the Royal Standard Hotel, Toora to see if they have similar requirements. I'll update that thread when I get a response.
Post by: ruSTynutz on October 27, 2021, 10:03:21 PM
Not sure about why they would need a copy of your double vaccination certificate beforehand as we'll be required to sign in with the Service Victoria QR Code app on entry anyhow.
You just need to add your double vaccination certificate to the app as Sue & I have done which is all the proof you need... :think1
Seems like they are just making it harder than it needs to be... :||||
