Sydney ho

[hammer_2020]

I'll be touching down in Sydney on 5th January of the coming year. Anyone interested in meeting up to network, hang out or train (and, for Flowfighting enthusiasts, trade some lumps) or any combination of the above, feel free to shoot me a PM.

hello,

hammer_2020, thought you meant something else by "sydney ho". hahahahahaha! hope your trip goes well!

thanks

[hammer_2020]

Heh, I'm normally as filthy as they come, but I only realised this when you pointed it out ;)

Absolutely not the intended meaning of my title!

[lorenzodamarith]

hello,

hammer_2020, just giving you a bad time! figured you meant "embarking on trip to australia". still funny though! unintentional jokes are often the most amusing!

everything going well?

thanks

[hammer_2020]

So far so good, mate, thanks for asking. I'm going to visit some old friends and uni mates down there, and maybe suss out career opportunities while I'm at it, though I'll probably have my hands full playing :D It's been hinted that I do have a managerial position on offer in my current company, though, so it may be easier for me to move back to Oz that way, since we're really big in Oz.

hello,

hammer_2020, it is good to see you are enjoying the company of friends AND that there are opportunities headed your way!

how is the weather down/up there? it should be starting to get hot, neh? course, the water is still cold and man o war are plentiful at the beaches, neh? still, bondi has the surfin'!

well, go forth and do things both unspeakable and amusing...

and then come here and speak of them and amuse us!

thanks

[hammer_2020]

Unspeakable and amusing? That's me in a nutshell, my friend >:-)

[lorenzodamarith]

hello,

hammer_2020, it must come from living on the equator! course, the land of oz will only bring out your best!! hahahahahahaha!

so while you are there, make sure you do a bunch of secret stuff you would never want the world to know about. then let us know all about it.

we promise... we won't tell anyone what you did.

thanks

Hi James,

'coach' Eddy here.
Are you confirmed for visit to Oz?

i am based in Sydney, as are approx 7 other newly trained instructors/ coaches.
What are you dates and movements?

Sydney tends to shut down for Jan... so most of us will have to time meet up and play.

My clinic number is (02) 9743 2112.
Email me and when you hit Sydney call.

Cheers
Donna

Hey Coach Donna,

I'll be touching down early on the 5th and leaving again on the 17th. Will be staying on Broadway and hanging around Kogarah a lot, since most of my martial arts training group is based around there, but I'll also be in the heart of town a fair bit. I chanced upon your website from surfing the rmaxgym YouTube account and noticed that you're based in a neighbourhood I used to live in as a student - lots of memories of Concord and North Strathfield ;)

[Coach Eddy]

i look fwd to meeting you if time permits!

Another CST player has a FANTASTIC gym in Harris St.
We are meeting there THIS wknd to play.

Call or email when you know your movements.
Safe travels.

Donna

Awesome! Will most certainly do. Look forward to meeting you all.

[hammer_2020]

In the aftermath of my trip, I just want to say it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all. Your hospitality and warmth was nothing short of incredible. It was a poignant reminder of exactly why I have a raging (if dysfunctional, as with all my relationships :D) love affair with Oz in general and Sydney in particular. Also, many thanks to Brad for clearing the mists surrounding the marketing of CST. I will certainly be hard at work pushing the product to my company over here in Singapore.

Here's to more such gatherings in the near future. Hope to see you all once again in Oz, or over here in Singapore.
