       Hi As it is first meeting,I'm not sure how many will come along. tonight is about meeting and discussing what is is we are doing. It would be great to meet you,and a good chance to get a cuppa/drink at the same time. There are only two others that have said they will come along, so it would be good f if you could make it. plenty of parking in Balmian, best place to park is Wollworth's carpark, which you will see as you drive along Darling street. look forwards to seeing you Loz

       hi Lee As you are clearly the most experienced, and the rest of us are aspiring, maybe you would like to chair the first meeting, and tell us a bit about your experiences. We meet tonight in Starbucks in Balmain. If it is closed we can move over to the pub. Hope to see you there.
