  G'day All,
I am not sure who wants to go to the BrisMesh Meeting on Wednesday evening.

If you don't have time to read it all, its at
10 Clifford St, Stafford. Almost the Cnr of Stafford Road, actually
Any one from Corinda area want a lift there?
Hoping  I can control my bladder until a committee is elected.

RESEND - 
Did any people get this I sent it last night with a 53k map attached. I
haven't received it as yet?

Hi all,

Attached is a map of the area around my place so you can work out how
you get there. I have tried to keep it small without losing too much
detail. It blows up to 200% and is quite readable at that mag.

PRIVATE CAR 
parking for around 30 cars in the laneway between Crawford Ave and
Clifford St parallel to Stafford Road. See yellow dot on map marked
"10".

There is room for hundreds more across Stafford Road behind Fridge
Bottle Shop (see black parking area on map)

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

All times given are for LAST bus that will get you there in time for
meeting. There are others earlier. The 325, 335 and 375 are around every
15 mins at that time of night, or even more frequent. Even the 346 and
353 are around 15 mins as well.

COMING OUT EARLY AND HAVING DINNER AT STAFFORD

For those who wish to come out earlier straight from work, there are
several reasonably priced restaurants - Chinese (Cantonese / American),
Chinese (Malaysian / American), Thai, French Restaurant and Cafe / Deli
(dearest and mostly requires booking), and two hamburger / fish and chip
shops. All have dine in facilities or take away except French. All these
are within 70m of the meeting venue. The prices are from well under $5
for the fish and chip shops to around $12 on average for the oriental
places and over $20 for the French.

Cheers

Garry
