Hey guys
Just wanted to get a feel out to see if anyone would be keen on meeting up with us when we come up to Auckland in April, I know there are lots of lovely OhBaby ladies from Auckland that we would love to meet! We are going to be arriving on the 9th and leaving on the 12th, So either the Saturday or the Sunday, Don't have any plans while I am there apart from the Kelly Clarkson concert sunday night, hence the reason we are coming. We are going to be staying with my parents in Torbay but "should" have access to a vehicle so I am happy to travel somewhere if someone can suggest a good place for a meetup! So yea just let me know who might be keen and ideas for time and place!  -------------

Would like to suggest the Brigham - off Hobsonville Road. Huge grass area and enclosed porch in old fashioned farmhouse. Great food and coffee. Am thinking brunch or something.
Am also happy for people to come to my huse in Massey, and the partners can come too. Maybe for a BBQ lunch. Am definitely up for something. ------------- [  [/URL] http://lilypie.com">

I don't really know where anywhere is in relation to anywhere else but I don't know if anyone would be keen on meeting at the Zoo? Just coz I haven't been before or if there is a park or cafe near to the Zoo? I just realised I am supposed to meet my Mother and Brothers and Sister on the Sunday so would need to be Saturday. Am definitely happy for partners to come along too coz that way Antz might be more keen on coming -------------

Ooh yay Kate! Lol, It wasn't intentional honestly! Didn't even think about it till a few days after, there is a lot of x's thrown around in our household, Lexie and Antz last name has an X in it and also our furbaby named Onyx... Just call us the X's! Haha Sorry completely off topic! -------------

Cool Yumi! I will have more of an idea of how far I can travel soon, Just need to find out whether I will have a car to use myself or whether I will have to rely on public transport or being dropped off and picked up Does anyone actually know how far Torbay is from say central Auckland? -------------

Okay so just found out I will have a vehicle, so I am willing to travel basically anywhere within 1 hours driving distance. Basically I am happy to go to where we can get the most people to come to, coz theres lots of people I wanna catch up with, I may even be happy to do say a morning tea in one place and a lunch or afternoon tea in another spot. -------------

We are keen  The Zoo or Western Springs sounds good.

Well I tell you what Zoo on Saturday afternoon would be awesome! So how about those that are keen
Zoo @ say 1:30 on the 10th April, partners more than welcome coz I know Antz will really wanna goto the Zoo lol, but will also only really be keen if other partners come. I am also keen to do another meetup somewhere further south or more central in the morning so those that can't make it to the zoo, Let me know some other ideas for a morning tea -------------

At the northern end of Sylvia Park (where Baby Factory is) there is a fenced playground area which might be a good meet up point. -------------

Sylvia Park is a massive shopping mall, its open, but indoors if you catch my drift? Havent been to the playground part though... might go have a look next week and see what its like lol ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

The playground is outdoors. Probably not best if wet weather, but it does have sunshades so okay if it's really sunny. As for a wet weather option, maybe one of the cafe's inside the mall? I don't really know the cafe's there so someone else might have a suggestion. -------------

maybe garrisons if it isnt too busy, lots of room or coffee club - not sure how big that one is.
There is a hollywood bakery as well that is a reasonable size I think. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hey jodz I'm not sure what you mean by that? But me and my friend that is coming with me were quite keen to goto the Zoo, so I'm happy to make it somewhere else but we would need to maybe make it later in the day? Like maybe 3:30ish? so that we could still manage a look around the zoo before the meetup -------------
