André Rieu Fans Around The World Meet in Newcastle

....

Breakfast at Lena's at Warners Bay was a wonderful experience. At 8.00am, thirteen of us enjoyed each other's company while André (Pat's cutout) watched on. Bobbie, John, Ruth and Jim from United States were welcomed, as were Shirley, Norm, Ellen and Ivan from Sydney. Maree, George, Pat, Faye, Peter now called Father Superior and myself were also there.

We were looked after by Lawrence and Caroline, the owners of Lena's. We were in the alcove so we could do whatever we wanted, and Lawrence kindly played a CD and we even managed a waltz or two !!! Naturally the topic of conversation was the previous concerts and how they compared between Sydney and Newcastle.

We had a yummy breakfast choosing juices, variations on Bacon and eggs etc followed by coffee. We were there for so long that Pat had pikelets for morning tea. We all watched on. I don't know how she does it. We then had a group photo taken with André, Lawrence and Caroline.

Again it was great to see the Friendships and fun that was had by all. After leaving Lena's, we took "André" across the road to the Esplanade where we had another group photo with beautiful Lake Macquarie in the backgroud and then went our separate ways.

Peter and I took John, Bobbie, Ruth and Jim on a guided tour of Newcastle. We drove around Lake Macquarie to Swansea, saw the pelicans, Belmont Bay, Redhead Bluff, Merewether, Bar Beach and Nobby's. We took a leisurely stroll along the Honeysuckle Boardwalk, all in all we had a wonderful day and off to the concert again this evening ... Margaret (aka Mother Superior)

  1. To Mother Superior and now the Reverand Father Superior. I would like to thank you once again for the great organization of the Fans Lunch on Sunday. My friend Chris commented on what a great bunch of people we are. It was great to finally meet Ruth , Jim, Bobbie and John (minus his german hat). To come all this distance to meet with us was really a great experience.
