First meeting is coming up, if you don't already have the address, PM Angela or Jane for the address...

I'll be coming in time for the meeting at 2pm, unfortunately I have to go to one of the dreaded family picnics on Sunday at Bribie, so I'm apologising in advance if I'm late.

Hopefully we'll have some exciting stuff to talk about including our FIRST OFFICIAL EVENT of the year, the Trivia Night! wooooo!

Just checked the rehearsal dates and there isn't a Sunday rehearsal that day. Yay. But please make sure that there will be NO spiders there or I will be like the Flash. Or you'll feel is a gust of wind rushing past you.

Hooray! Don't worry David, I'll protect you from those eight legged freaks....

I'll find a air-rifle and utilise my uncle's technique of ridding the house of spiders.... One air rifle without bullets, aim at spider, watch spider go "SPLAT"...

2nd funniest thing I saw that day.... The funniest? Watching my aunt chase him around the house because she had to clean up splattered spiders.. hehe

*BUMP*

I do not know at this stage if I can make it, but will let you know asap.

[Thrawn70]

Everyone I won't be there. Mum has looked everywhere for black pants and can not find any that she likes or that fit her properly. She leaves for NSW next week and is in a deliemma. So, being the good and kind hearted son that I am, I said that I would make her a pair. So I'll be making a pair of pants for her tomorrow as it's the only day she has free to be here as I make them. She also wants to make a pair so that she has two so I'll be helping her out. Wish me luck.

cheers, David

[Kathelyne]

sorry to those of you who can't make it, but looking forward to seeing the rest of you here! As usual arrive any time from 10 am and pm if you need my address.

[natger]

I will be there around 10 am is there anything that you would like me to bring

[trinnyt]

well that's too bad David.. xx

Good luck with the sewing though!

[Thrawn70]

I'll need it Cherie. My Mums a quilter so I'm sure she will be painstakingly nit picky...lol

[fairyprincess]

I will be there! If I can work out how my oven works I will be bringing cake!

[Kathelyne]

Hi all, you don't need to bring anything except yourselves and any prokects you wish to work on. I you have any suggested questions for trivia night then feel free to bring them along. Cake is more than welome, and if someone wants to offer to bring a salad that would be great (but let me know) as I don't think we have much here in the salad department.

[AbsinthAngel]

OK peeps, I am on my way in about an hour.... should be there by 12:30

[Kathelyne]

yay! see you then!

Howdy all, friendly monthly update!

We talked first about some mail I've received on our behalf (including a thank you from the Ipswich Girls Grammar Old Girls Association), and the fact that a couple of us appeared in the Abbey's 2009 pictures.

We also talked about the Trivia Night, the relevant thread has the information needed there... Don't forget to PM Angela if you need her address!

We also talked about the possibility of us having a booth at the Stitches and Craft Fair in September - ideally we'd like everyone to be involved and we also talked about some ideas for what we can do including:
- photo board - would require some photoshoots to showcase costumes
- possibility of us getting a banner
- costumes displayed and worn throughout the four days
- bonnet workshops - deocrating simple 1880's hats?
- would be nice to have everyone involved during the day - it'll be alot of work, but it's a great opportunity
If you have any ideas, and are interested, let me know!

Not sure if I left anything out (other than us having CAKE! for birthdays!), for those that were there, if I've missed anything, please add the info to this thread..
