Do you guys know Gillian of Silly Gilly? many bloggy moons ago, there was a picnic in Ballarat in honour of Trash’s visit to Australia. It was a hoot.
Recently Gillian and I were talking about the picnic and it was decided that we should have another. So we have booked a hall (Ballarat weather being somewhat inclement) , set a date and found someone to organise the lunch.
Do you want to come along? It is going to be very low-key but lots of fun. Its a day just for hanging out, chatting, laughing and crafting. Its early days, but we have a local shop setting up a stall for the day, some door prizes and plans for goody bags.
You don’t have to be cool or groovy or particular friends with anyone – You just need to be a blogger-its that simple. Come in a group or come along on your own. Have you ever wondered what a blog meet is like? Well there is often a bit of girly shrieking, a lot of laughter and that funny kind of coded talk we do where we call each other our blog names.
If you would like to come along, you just need to buy a ticket ( a ticket? yep, the cost of the ticket will cover the hall hire, sandwiches and slice for lunch, goody bags and anything else that we organise between now and then) A veritable bargain at $21.50.
If you are a businessy blogger and would like to put something (with your business card) into the goody bags, or you would like to donate a small door prize. Just drop me an email. We already have some fabric and I’ll probably add a toy or two to the mix.
(Now I know there is someone out there thinking “oh man that sounds like fun, but I won’t know anyone and what will I wear and what if no-one talks to me? so email me, I’ll hold your hand and we’ll have a great day)
Sounds fabulous! But a bit far too far to travel this time from sunny Perth.
ReplyDeleteHope you get heaps of people and have lots of fun!
Yes! Just as Jenny says. (I am another Perth girl.)
DeleteCould you two car pool? LOL I'm driving over to Ballarat from Adelaide...
Deleteoh man this sounds like such fun, wish I could come too, have a great time, it's a fabulous idea
ReplyDeleteOh so jealous
ReplyDelete...and yet another good reason to move to Melbourne - in fact his could be the best yet!
ReplyDeleteI fail on *all* requirements. Le sigh.
ReplyDeleteI demand you have way too much fun and tell me Every. Last. Detail.
you will be embroidering special knickers for the occasion, yes?
I'm in- when I pay! Hopefully this week, save me a spot? teehee. Hope I can cause some laughs!
ReplyDeleteYour spot is saved Ms Bec. For sure!
DeleteI'm booked and paid - might need someone to hold my hand though!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh what fun! I'll see if my Lear jet will be available and jet on over! :o) A wee bit far but Australia has always been on my "places to visit" list.
ReplyDeletehmmm sounds like it could be a lot of fun Jodie.xx
ReplyDeleteIn my honour? Pshaw! I was but a catalyst. If this do is even half the fun of the last gig there will be sides splitting with laughter and crafty hijinks.
ReplyDeleteAs the Fat Quarterly Retreat has just drawn to a close I am putting forward the same demand to you all that I made of them - lots of Instagramming, tweeting and Facebooking required so that we may all virtually attend.
Absolutely Ms Trash. That's a given.
