Trudy & I are planning a get together in early August and would love to extend this invitation to other forum members.
The venue is The Sebel Playford Hotel (in the Lounge Bar) 120 North Terrace, Adelaide.
This hotel is a lovely place to meet people for coffee - they have long lounge suites either side of a coffee table which could accommodate larger groups of people. If people want to stay on for lunch, there are readily available meals under $10 for casual eating.
At this stage we are looking at 2 dates, Friday 5th August or Monday 8th August - this has now been set at Friday 5th after 4 takers for that date - so if anyone is able to join us, you are quite welcome.
-
Me please - oh how I wish!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :D :D :D :D :D
-
Hi Judy
Love to come Friday 5th would be great to catch up.
Lynne Jamieson
-
I so wiiiiisssshhh tooooo
;D :D
-
Wish I could join you as well but, alas, distance prevents it. Hope you have a great get-together. Have you two met before or will it be a 'first meeting' for you both?
-
Trudy & I have met a few times Marina.
-
Thanks Lynne, that's 3 so we are off and running.
-
Me too. ;D. Bit far to come though from Tassie. Ive never been to Adelaide. I nearly went there last year when my sister was flown to the Womans hospital there because of a high possibility of having a prem baby. The hospitals here in Tas were full and couldn't take her at the time. She spent 5 weeks there before she could come home at 30 weeks. And within 2 days she went into Labor back here in Tas to a little boy (3lb 6oz).
It would be great to catch up with some regular forum members though.
-
How dearly I would love to come to meet you. Come on you Sth Aussies try and make it!! :D
-
I am coming ... to Adelaide for a wedding next year and I do hope to catch up with some of you then!! ;D ;D sadly not this time though
-
Oh how I wish I could be there. Oh well :( :(
-
I will be nearly there, at least I will be in the state but only about Ceduna I think. Maybe another time. ;) ;)
-
You girls are so lovely wanting to come to our get together - of course we know it isn't possible but as you can imagine, we would love to have you all. Give us plenty of notice next year Kathryn so that we can pencil in a date. :-* :-* :-*
-
I would love to come! How cool to meet some of the legends of the forum :) :)
I can only make it if it's on the Friday, as I work Monday-Thursday :(
I owe JD a great big thank you for her wonderful recipes and helpful hints, would be nice to say hello and thanks in person.
-
Cookie, does that mean you will be in Adelaide later? If so PM me and I will give you our phone number, perhaps could meet up with you when you get here. It would great to finally meet you!!!
-
Great news Katie, that's 4 people OK for Friday 5th Aug so I think we will settle on that date now. We have only ever had 3 people at a get together so we are in front already. Let's hope any other members who have yet to read this thread are OK with that day/date.
-
It's now in the diary Judy!!!!!
-
I have another taker - Amanda will be joining us for morning tea. That's 5 so far.
-
Monika has the date in her diary Judy!!!
-
Thanks Trudy - No. 6.
-
lucky ladies ..enjoy your catchup :)
-
Count me in! What time??
Karen
-
Thanks Karen, No. 7 - what would you all prefer, 10am or 10.30 am?
-
Either is fine with me. I am so excited! What a great idea Judy and Trudy. Thanks so much for organising this!
Karen
-
It is exciting isn't it - in the past we have only had 3 maximum so this is great. Will confirm time when everyone has had their say.
-
No Trudy not this time unfortunately. We're going from Port Augusta up through the centre. Hopefully next year back to the Barossa and all round Port Lincoln etc.
-
Me! Me! Me! Me!!!!!
;) :D :D :D :-))
-
We'd love to have you ILB but you live a little too far away :-* :-*
-
Hmmm that could be a slight issue.... :'(
-
Shame! Shame! I would love to meet up with you ILB.
-
Been away and so missed this thread (thanks JD for tipping me off). Alas I already have a commitment that Friday morning. If I can change it I will be along with my 2 little girls... Fingers crossed!!
-
Thanks hopefulcook, will put you down as a hopeful ;)
-
I'm so jealous that you're all in an area that you can get together.
-
at least your in oz twitterpated...try being o/s lol!
-
Yes I will be there. Would not miss it for quids.
-
I will so be coming to you Judy to help me organise my Adelaide classes…hope you are up to the challenge! ;D ;D Have fun on the 5th! Wish I was there.
xx
-
That's great Ted, look forward to it. This is going to be bigger than Ben Hur :D :D
If you were in town Tenina, and any other interstaters, we would love to have you join us.
-
and guys this time we want some photos!! for the forum members that dont get to catch up... :)
-
I would love to be there, but already have a prior commitment that day. Have fun everyone! :)
-
Photos for sure Frozzie. Thanks for letting us know mkr.
-
;D ;D ;D
-
Have fun on the 5th Judy and Thermomixers :) :) :)
-
I made some enquiries at the hotel this morning to make sure we are all accommodated so have now booked an area for 10-12 people. It will be under the name of Thermomix and will be on the upper level where there is more room - we may like to stand and move around to converse with different people which would be easier up there (just a few steps to that area). They like you to order a platter of something when you book an area so I have ordered a platter of assorted cakes to go with our coffee - this should be enough to get us started and will be my welcoming gift to you all :-* :-* My train gets into town at 9.50 so I will be there around the 10 am mark so if we can all be there between 10 & 10.30, that will be great. Any more takers?
-
:'( I wish I could come :'(
-
Thanks Judy, you are so organised! :)
I might be on the same train - I'll be getting on at Glanville, just after you
It will be lovely to meet you and all the other Adelaide people
:D ;D :D
-
Wow 10-12. What great numbers. The forum is like a big extended family so it will be like a family reunion. Hope you all have a great time and let us all know how it goes. ;D
-
I thought that might happen Katie. I'll get in the first carriage, do you think you will recognise me from my avatar?
-
:'( I wish I could come :'(
Me too CP :'(
-
I should be able to recognise you JD - I'll look for your "super hero cape" that Hally has mentioned before!!
I should upload a photo of myself on here, so you know what I look like. I'll try and do that soon.
:)

:D Love it
-
:D :D :D No I won't be wearing that cape Katie - don't like standing out in a crowd ;)
Received confirmation of our booking today and apparently it is 'a cake' not 'assorted cakes' so I hope everyone likes Callebaut chocolate and almond fudge cake. Oh by the way, there are lounge suites in that area - just reread my last post and it sounds as if we will all be standing the whole time. What I meant was, there is room to sit or stand and move around.
-
I wish I could come, sound like you will have a wonderful time. I'm envious. You have done a great job organizing it all JD.
-
Thanks Denise, it has been fun.
-
BOO HOO, I want to come and meet you all. I know just how rewarding it is to meet with people from the Forum. Have a great time.
-
You are going to have so much fun!! We always have a blast when we have a Perth catch up ;D
-
Thanks for the new avatar Katie - I'm bound to recognise you now ;)
-
I will be thinking of you all on the 5th. After looking at our plan we'll still be in WA but getting toward SA.
-
No worries JD....much easier for meeting on the train if we both know what each other looks like!
I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone :)
-
Would that train be the Express from Woodville to the city or the one that stops at all stations?
I sometimes go around the corner for stop at all stations or sometimes go to Woodville for the Express.
-
It is the express from Woodville Ted. I think it gets to Woodville Stn around 9.42 according to my timetable. Hope to see you on our train then, will look out for you.
-
I think I might wear my Thermomix apron so you will be able to recognise me.
-
:D :D :D :D :D Oh Ted, I did think of that but didn't want to be so cheeky as to say it. Great minds think alike :D :D
-

-
Yes JD and crew have a lovely day
-

-
Sorry JD Im not going to make it :(
It's off to the doctor for me instead with the flu. I struggled to even get out of bed this morning asfter starting to feel unwell yesterday afternoon. I doubt you'd want me bringing my germs anyway!!
I hope you have a wonderful time and I look forward to seeing the photo's.
-
Oh Katiej I hope you are feeling better soon. Make sure you get some of the BH&G honey and lemon drink into you that is on this forum. I am sure they will have missed you today!!
-
Hope that you all had a wonderful day JD and co. :) :) Katie that is so disappointing for all, hope that you are felling better very soon. :)
-
I was absolutely privileged today to meet Judy, Trudy, Ted, Amanda and Wayne at our Adelaide get-together. We had a great chit-chat - mostly about food and TMX, but also about other things! So inspiring to meet these people in person. And Amanda was responsible for me buying yet another cookbook ;D We had lovely coffee and gorgeous cake provided by Judy - many thanks. Cant wait for another get-together.
Karen
PS: Judy has a photo that I think will be posted.
-
Sounds like you all had a great time, so pleased.
It would be nice to put faces to names on the forum.
Looking forward to Judy posting photo, you can always rely on Judy, bless her.

It was lovely to get together and I'm sorry for those who couldn't make it for some reason or another. Get well soon Katie.
This is our little group, from left to right - Ted, Trudy, Karen, Amanda, Judy. Wayne, Trudy's husband showed up after the photo was taken. Thanks for coming - it was nice to meet Ted & Karen for the first time and get together with Trudy & Amanda again.
