I'm posting this in here in the hope that we might get a few more nibbles than we do in the meetup section....
Bex (Lexiesmumma) is going to be in town on 4/5 Jan, so we were wondering if anyone is interested in a meetup on maybe the 5th, possibly at the zoo???
Would be awesome to get to meet some more of you, and I'm excited cos I FINALLY get to meet Bex hehehehe

Ummmm.....suggestions?? I'm not that familiar with options in NP I'm afraid!!! The only places I know are Chipmunks and Maccas, and Chipmunks is kinda expensive, especially with more than one child...

Darn, gonna be in NP in Feb boo coz would have liked to have met some OB people.
What about Zanziba out at Fitzroy/Strandon, not super child friendly but has couches and is not hustle bustle there.

We could always meet again in Feb !! 
Hmm, Zanzibar is nice but might be a touch small coz even with just Kate, Bex & me theres 4adults and 4kids ...... Hmmm
Gloria Jeans is small too BUT it has a playpen?
Esquires?
Maccas is good coz there's playground and coffee and hotchips for the baby lol
If I had my own place I'd totally host but I live with my parents lol

Ooh, count me in for 5th & again in feb, lol. Brooklands would be great, can "contain" the kids a bit better there than the park. As for a wet weather alternative- well we don't need one because it's going to be fine because I said so. McD's is probably best bet though- chipmunks is expensive, can't think of anywhere else?! I love their coffee anyways, =). I didn't even know Zanzi's was still there?! I need to go cafe-hopping more!

There's a Gloria Jeans?!? Man I don't remember that there. Maybe Zanzibars is gone was there in April....
Maccas is always good, we actually rely on Mcafe a lot when venturing out over here since often the coffee is so bad at other places lol.

Yup, Zanzi is still there 
Gloria Jeans is by the post shop, in that block of shops with flight centre, asian nail salon & dodgy looking tattoo shop lol it's been there awhile, I went there for coffee the day I got my BFP lol
Kate how does Zoo/Maccas sound to you? And bex? Should we FB others incase they don't see this?

Yay, now just nobody get sick! Make sure you guys still put the details up on here, I'm not on facebook. Brooklands zoo is only little but it's pretty well set up with a playground in the centre, it's part of a bigger park with walkways etc so definitely things for your df/DH to do, =).

Trudz FB'ed me I'm in. Zoo sounds awesome, the girls LOVE it there, and adore McD's (and rarely get to go!) so either way is good, tho I'll be hoping for fine weather.
What time?
