Meet Up The Official 2021 Meet Up Thread: Round 7 vs Sydney

[cats_09]

How about fishing & beers at Portarlington?

 

[Shell]

Fishing.... ru kidding.


You fish, Ill watch if you want. And go swim.

 

[Shell]

Sounds good to me tho, Portarlington is good i can get mussels.

 

[Shell]

Tentative date cats_09 (and anyone else) how about Sunday the 5th?

I'd suggest the waterfront in Geelong but im assuming that'll be busy af all day- how about old Bended Elbow at 2-3pm and just go from there?

 

[Shell]

*unless its meant to be stinking hot 40 degrees. Idk if i can manage it, if its that hot.

Like 20-32 degree range is fine.

 

[cats_09]

Sunday 5th sounds good and agree about it being weather dependent as stupid hot will suck

You're talking about what's now the Geelong Hotel - if the weather's nice they have a roof top bar which opens from like 11:30am

I haven't been there since it reopened but happy to give it a go as I have been looking for a reason to check them out

 

[Shell]

Me either. The parking up there wont be crazy like the waterfront too

 

[Shell]

Orite cool just play it by ear.

Could also catch a movie thats another idea

 

[Shell]

The rabbi Willo_ are you guys around then

 

[cats_09]

I've looked at a few others I know with roof top bars but they are apparently closed on Sundays - thought it might be different in summer but doesn't seem so

Murphys which is just out of town also has a roof top bar which is open all day and they have all day food on weekends

And generally not too hard to park near there

 

[Shell]

Id rather bended, or somewhere in town so i know where im going.

 

[Shell]

I wish we could go waterfront but ive been stuck in that traffic before its a ******* nightmare unless you get there early

 

[cats_09]

No worries - happy with town

 

[Shell]

Now the weather just has to cooperate

 

[The rabbi]

The rabbi Willo_ are you guys around then

I am around.
In fact I am a bit more round after Christmas.

 

[Willo_]

I'm around, not sure I'm free though.. I'll see how I go

 

[Shell]

I'm around, not sure I'm free though.. I'll see how I go

We're looking at either Friday the 3rd around 3/4pm onwards, or Sunday the 5th.

Ok. Will keep an eye on this fred.

 

[Shell]

*old Bended Elbow

 

[Shell]

Anyone else welcome as well.

 

[cats_09]

Geelong weather forecast for later this week - seems like typical Geelong weather to me

 

[Shell]

So Friday?

3pmish at Bended, then play it by ear? I'd definitely be up for a swim tho, should be still warm enough in the evening.

Have you been to the roof top at M's? ... have not since it was done. Of course this pub is so historical being on the door step of the Argyle Paddock.

Earlier this year I attended a function that was held up - it has a really nice view over Geelong where you can see through to the bay

It's not the biggest rooftop, so you wouldn't want too many people as it just becomes difficult to walk around
