[helent]

CITY/REGION: Melbourne
MEETUP PLACE: Collins Place food court, 45 Collins St, Melbourne
DATE: Sunday, 4 June 2023
TIME: 2 - 4 pm

World Bee Day is on 20 May, so @KoalaPost suggested we mark the day at our meet up.
Meet up date has been postponed to 4 June.

LOCATION

Collins Place , 45 Collins St Melbourne. Very close to Parliament Station, and the 11, 12, 35, 48 and 109 trams all stop close by.

Meet in the downstairs food hall. We will be sitting near the juice shop, close to the Exhibition Street entrance.

Bring along anything fun you’ve received that you’d like to show off - new maxicards, nice cancellations, rare countries, etc.

CARD RAFFLE

Please bring along a couple of blank cards to add to our prize pool, and we will have a raffle amongst everyone who attends.

CARDS

I will organise a meet up card for the day, for the cost of printing (around 50 cents each, to be confirmed). No need to pre-order. I’ll update once the card design is finalised.

Anyone else is welcome to do one too.

UPDATES

Meet up date has been postponed to 4 June.

Too far away… what a pity

[gabrand]

Unfortunately I will be in NSW on the 21st May, so I’ll miss this meetup

Would still love to join in the Zoom session though! 16th April works for me.

Thanks Helen!

I’m a ‘yes please’ for the meetup and a ‘maybe’ for the Zoom: my in-laws are visiting that weekend and it’ll depend if they’ve left already

[secondhandrose]

I’m a yes for the meet up but unavailable for the Zoom as I am going overseas on April 16.

Hello, I’m from Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil
I would like to exchange postcards with someone who will attend this event.

In June we will have the Festa Junina event here. I can exchange it for this event or for one from the south region.
This is the postcard for the event, and each region will have its own, in all there are 6 to complete the total picture.

Grateful
Jessica

Hi. Lovely meet-up and my birthday, I try to collect many cards with my birthday date on it. Maybe anyone like to trade with me?

here are some of my offer cards. at the bottom are also some Meet-up cards (most with signatures)

[203 new items added to shared album] Random cards for trade (horse, blue cats,...

I have many more cards availabe for trade only not yet photographed - ask for anything you like and I will see if I can find it for you in exchange

[helent]

We’ve decided to postpone this meet up, as not enough people where able to attend on the original date.

New date is in two weeks (4 June). The meet up cards have been printed already, so will still have 21 May on them!

@mundoo , is it OK to re-list this in the calendar?

[ScarletRain]

Hi. I’m interested in the Bee Post Card. I can offer different Meetup Cards from Germany.

Greetings Alexander

[secondhandrose]

I’m happy to trade. I’d like a blue cat card.
Message me your address and I will send a Bee card to you.
