Hi!
Announcing the inaugural meeting of the Brown Owls Melbourne 3000 group - hoorah!
when: Wednesday 8th June 2011
at: 6.30 - 9pm
where: The Parlour, Madame Brussels, level 3, 59-63 Bourke St, Melbourne 3000
why: because we love craft! yes we do!
bring: BYO craft project or notify me in the RSVP below if you need some ideas
cost: no fee for attendance but you may like to purchase a drink or a delight from the Madame Brussels menu
RSVP: essential! asap! indicate your want to attend by submitting a comment to this blog entry, also indicate in that comment if you do not have a BYO project to bring and would like suggestions
There will be no formal tutorial or anything on this, the first (hopefully of many), Melbourne 3000 evenings. It will be a great chance to get together, share some crafty-ness and discuss possibilities for future meets, as well as have a jolly good time.
I thought it would be really nice to have a central venue handy for public transport etc and as luck would have it I fortuitously came across this venue last week. Madame Brussels is a loungey bar with a fabulous special area - The Parlour. They also have cup cakes on the menu which I think is a jolly good thing. Entrance is to the left of a restaurant called the Spaghetti Tree and then use the lift (or stairs if you fancy) up to level 3.
Looking forward to seeing you!

Hey ChloeR - no problem!
If you could pick up a 4mm hook and some 8 ply yarn (some cheap acrylic will doo) that would be fantastic. I'll try to remember to bring some spare stuff just in case!

Hi, I'm a newbie and would love to come along if possible!
Hi Hollie
So sorry - this 8th June session is currently full (actually oversubscribed is more accurate - oops!).
You are the first on the wait list so if someone (above) cancels I will leave a comment on this blog, or maybe you'd like to email me your contact details, my email link is in the column on the right of the blog (Melbourne CBD 3000 :: Sue)
Hope to see you at the next meet, if not this one. Keep a look out for details of the next gathering, likely to be early July.
Cheers
Sue
Dear Hollie
a place has become available to join the Brown Owls Melbourne 3000 group - hoorah! Would you like to come along? I am presuming yes, but if you have changed your mind and are not able to come this time, let me know. Hope to see you wednesday.
Hello, I RSVP'd a while back, and I'm so sorry to pull out at the last minute, but I am a bit too sickly to make it tonight! Boo. This makes me sad.
Hopefully he next one though! xx
Hi Sue,
I wasn't aware of RSVP'ing, so I didn't, but was looking forward to come tonight.
Are there people not comming perhaps so I can come of them instead? Hope so... :)
Cheers!
Eva
