2015 Club Meetings

[Rebecca]

Since we're newbies joining you for dinner, dumb question but....which one do you meet at and do you meet outside or have a reservation?

[calisota]

Who else is coming to dinner? We've got seven so far.

Just prop my picture up in he corner and flick food at it occasionally.

Hi Rebecca - we have dinner at the Outback Jacks on Roberts Road, Greenacre and meet there at 5:30pm. It is usually quiet unless there is a big event on up at Homebush.

If we have ten or more, I usually book it in my name, but I don't think we have a lot of takers tomorrow. If you are first there, just wait inside in the bar.

So far we have you and Brad, Jess, Elissa, Judy, Me and Della.

Anyone else?? Beth? Gerard and Michelle? Mel? Sandie?

[Gerard]

Michelle and I will be joining you for dinner

[Rebecca]

Thanks See you tomorrow!

[churros]

No dinner for me but will make the meeting -/

[KeithS]

Ooooh - nine of us, I'll book a table tomorrow!

[Lauren05]

Hi everyone, I'm new to Sydney and will be coming along to the meeting tonight. Looking forward to meeting you all

[KeithS]

Awesome - looking forward to meeting you Lauren!

[KeithS]

I've made a booking for 5:30 for 10 people in my name. At least I think I have as I only got an answering machine and their online booking system is not working, so let's hope it is okay haha. The ACDC concert is on at Homebush tonight so I thought I'd better book!

See you guys at dinner or at the meeting at 7:30pm

[KeithS]

Hi everyone! I hope you had fun last night at the meeting - I know I did!

And a big welcome to all the new people who joined us - it is always good to see new faces

[calisota]

Is anyone able to post a meeting report, no matter how brief, for those of us who may not have been there?

Greg

[KeithS]

No worries Greg. I'll try and give a run down as best as I can remember it.

The night started with Wayne welcoming every one to the night - especially our new members. He also plugged our website and was encouraging people to sign onto the forum and get active here! (Come on lurkers!! )

He then went straight into the True/False trivia session as an ice breaker. It came down to Brad and Jess in the end, with Jess winning (congraatulations Jess!)

Next up was Disney news, including the Aladdin Broadway show coming to Sydney next year, as well as some updates on park construction including new photos of Shanghai, Pandora, and Hong Kong Disneyland (courtesy of a friend of Barry).

Wayne then went around the room asking people about their favourite characters so we all had a turn with that.

Next up, I spoke about our cruise to Alaska and Hawaii and showed a series of photos from the voyage. I also played a short video montage from our wedding.

After that, we did some group trivia with Wayne using an iPad app to ask the questions (that was pretty good too - does anyone remember the name of that trivia app?) There were also some true/false questions Wayne read out. In the end, our team won the chocolates (welcome to the list of winners Lauren!!)

After that, we watched some movie trailers, including Star Wars, The Good Dinosaur, Alice Through the Looking Glass and The Jungle Book.

We had a session on what have we found since last meeting. We discussed how Tsum Tsums were now available in Target.

Della showed us the fluffies she bought on our Honeymoon (all 31 of them...).

Finally we watched some video of the Osborne Family Lights in Disney Hollywood Studios as this is the last year of them prior to the commencement of Star Wars construction at that park.

That concluded the meeting before we had supper, lucky door prizes and the raffle. We finished around 10:45pm.

It has been a fun year of meetings - so a big thank you to everybody who came in 2015! See you all at the hall sometime early 2016 (but don't forget end of year dinner on 5 December at Outback Jacks!)

[Lauren05]

Thanks Keith, it was great to meet you and everyone else too. I had a great night and am looking forward to seeing everyone again in the new year.

The iPad app was called Tidbit trivia

[calisota]

Ipad? What is this ipad thing you talk of?
