There seem to be a few new and not so new members in the Perth area, do any if you want to try and get together?

Mate, I reckon if we both went out into the garden & shouted we could hold a conversation but yeah I'd be up for a meet obviously dependent on it fitting in with the Embassy social calendar & my frequent jaunts to the yacht club for Pimms O'Clock..
Wish I was there to join in. I also wish I was in SA as well, to make Carl feel a little more loved, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon either.;)

Some of us pop up here and there. Don't think there are that many of us active at moment. Busy as at moment but would be good. Don't think dome would be too impressed if everyone gets there razors out though.
Well probably not, that was more if only hollowground and I were meeting up. If we can drum up enough interest I am sure a more suitable venue could be found. :)
We've held meets in the Coffee Club at West End. With a phone call ahead to book a table and letting them know what you plan on doing should let you know if they are open to the idea or not. Try calling the place you want to meet at and see if they are all right with it, is what I'm saying.

Theres a long weekend at the end of the month. If we went to picnic ground could have a Bbq and speed the razor out on a trestle table. Maybe hone a few etc. Got 2 here need hone and 1 more on way. You get some stones yet Ed. Ed
Yeah, I have a naniwa 10k, and some Welsh slates at somewhere less than 8k and 12k, I also have a lapping plate.
I think bongo restores razors as a hobby, so he probably would have a better selection. And he did seem keen to get something happening.
I don't know how razor honing in public, and possibly with kids around would go down, an evening would suit me better too, I work away, so I like to keep the weekend's free when I am home so I can do family stuff.
Where are you living?
So let me get this straight: we're all going to meet at a park bench, and then pull out razors and start honing them? I'd come just for the novelty.
:)
No probably wouldnt sit in main picnic area. Im in Gosnells but nights no good. About to start now at 2am so go to bed early.
Some arvos but not reliably. The life of a tradey. You finish when the work does. Most early finishes result in daddy daycare. Wife works from home.
What do you do, I am a sparky
Pest control. I do Perth cbd so heaps of work.
Well if you two are going the park bench thing might actually work. If we get any over -enthusiastic pedestrians or afternoon park strollers Ed could electricute them and Eddy could give them a spray.
Off topic but regionally relevant
The Perth Little League baseball team made it to the world series in Pennsylvania USA. This is the first Australian team to ever make it to the championships.
Before play started the Tennessee USA team was due to practice but their equipment had not arrived. The Perth team gladly loaned them their bats, balls, uniforms, etc. to practice.
That was a very class act. My highest regards to Perth.

Frank you've got the wrong idea. Any community interest is good. May be able to convert a few heathens, free honing for the kids. Now there fun for the whole family. :p
Did you guys end up having the meeting?
It's a shame there aren't any more Perth people on here but I guess it's to be expected due to the size of our little city..
There are few perth people (about 6 that I can think off) but most never come on so it would be hard to organise...
Gents, have just seen this thread, have been wondering how long before someone here in Perth suggested a get together, if a public place might be regarded as to dicey, there might be a pub with a private room? or a barbecue at some ones place, we all bring a plate and salad? somewhere fairly central? just a thought
cheers

Well including you 3 of us are east (gidge, swan view, gosnells), 1 is in freo, and that's about the extent of the Perth members who were interested. And there is brighty too, wherever he is. I also know there is someone in kalgoolie, and Karratha and a lady in esperence who wanted to get her hubby set up. Though they are probably a bit far :)
If you guys can get enough people i would probably be interested, i would be little wary about whipping a cut throat out in public though lol.
Anyway, im in Cannington.. Nice and close to Gosnells.
This will only be the case for another few months, im moving all the way to Bertram :(
But while im still here, If we have enough interest ill talk to my wife but it should be ok to have it at the back of my house, outside... As long as none of you guys are homicidal psychopath's.. Be honest now! :p
Hi Brighty sounds good. Was wondering where you got to as you had been posting just before I joined. Think the diamond spray was the last one I saw. Im generally available on weekends as weekdays taken by work and family requirements. Thanks for the offer.
Process operator, nickel cobalt mine.
haha, yeah I know, I'm more afraid of the random who come over from gumtree hehe
Sounds good to me, my back yard is a little.. ah.. neglected.. lol so as long as everyone is happy with staring at yard full of weeds it sounds good.
Same here. I'm free most weekends as long as I have a little notice.

How about you guys try and tee up a day\time, see who else can attend and we can go from there :D
Us Bris-Vegas blokes held our little meets at a 'Coffee Club'. It wasn't an issue for them or the other patrons. We did book ahead though. We even had a few ask us what it's all about and express an interest. One lady wanted to get her husband into it.
Mick
Pubic or not dosnt really bother me. I have heard that Australia does have some failry strict knife laws when in public although there are exeptions.
I do think we should try a meet though since there are a few WA prople on here now. My house is stil fine although if you guys would prefer public thats cool too.
Anyone got any preferd dates\days organised yet? May be worth sending a PM to some of the not so regulers as well although im not really sure who there is these days, im fairly shre there should be arround 6 of us though lol
