Well, last night I caught up with Hyjinx face to face here in Dunedin, New Zealand. He was down on a trip and we managed to catch up at
a local brewery and have a beer and a bite to eat. :)
This hobby is very much a global thing these days and most folks I know quite well for a number of years don't live in New Zealand so
it was nice to manage to catch up with one of the few that I have come into contact with via BBSing and fsxNet who do live in the same
country.
So I'm fortunate enough that I travel with work, so I'm no stranger to
NZ. (I love Welli - except for Welli's weather - it would be my next
place to live, if the temp was about 5-10 degrees warmer ;)
I was hoping to get a trip down to Dunedin to say hi - but COVID has put
a dampner on that.
Now, I'm looking for a new job role, and the new one may not include as much travel as the old one :( But if I can wing it, I'll let you know :)
I hope you may be lucky enough to have the same thing happen to you down the track too and bump in to someone who you have enjoyed chatting with
in echomail.
Best, Paul
That would be good, I'm in Melbourne, not sure of other BBS hobbyists here.

Hey Boraxman!
There are a few of us around! I'm down in Geelong but lived in
Melbourne for a fair few years :)

We still have to have a BBS meetup in Melbourne sometime, there's a
number of us spread across a few networks. Though for me, that'll have
to wait until after Easter.

I would definitely by up for a meet up.

Yeah, think we're overdue, actually. Somewhere in central Melbourne
would be the logical place - fairly central and easily reached by
public and private transport would be the go.
I'd have one of the longer trips in, so it doesn't particularly favour
me, just makes sense to hold it there.

Meetup at the big clock at southern cross, and then walk across the
road! #-)

Hmm, across which road (it's on a corner :P ). 2 constraints for me:
1. NOT a bar/pub - I don't drink alcohol or sugary soft drink.

The same with the pub/bar, but there are a few cafe's across the road from southern cross.
I don't know Melbourne well enough to put forward more!

Stay on the train, and get out at Flinders Street. There are a heap of bar/cafe's nearby ie: southgate.

week. I missed the Midsumma carnival a week ago, because I didn't
want to risk a week's iso, which would have put me out of last
weekend's Victorian Country championships (won 6 medals from 6
events). :)

Me either. :)

You've lived there for part of your adult life. I haven't, as we left Melboourne when I was ten....
