Hi Guys (non-gender specifically speaking),
It's good to be back now that I have a computer again.
I got a message from Sunbird today saying that he'll be in Bris for the boat show in May (between the 22nd and the 26th).
I thought it might be an appropriate time to have our first catch-up for the year.
Any takers/thoughts?
Count me in. I'll be there if at all possible. Where do you want to hold it Geoff? Perhaps if Sunbird is staying close to the city we might do the coffee shop thing again or if it suits Stu and Sunbird, how did it go at Stu's church hall? That might work just as well.
Mick
Hi Guys,
I will be staying on the Gold Coast near Sanctuary Cove which is only about one hour drive from Brisbane.
Coffee shop thing sounds good to me :)
Sunbird
Awesome. count me in. i liked the novelty of being in Stu's church hall and not being struck by lightning..:w {really sorry Stu - couldn't help myself}
I'm up for it! Either Stu's church hall or the Coffee club will work for me.
I am so looking forward to seeing Geoff's SRP blade....
I'll try and organise it with Stu for the Church hall as that seems to be the consencus of opinion.
I'll keep you all posted
Hi gents
Yes I will be there this time, I have missed too many of these get togethers.
The Church hall sounds great Geoff, look forward to seeing the other Queenslanders there :)
I've been in touch with Stu and Mike (Sunbird) and, it seems that Sunday is out.
Would anyone be interested in (maybe) a Wed or Thurs evening?
If the Church isn't available I could try for my workplace in Herston.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks Geoff,
I am looking forward to catching up with you guys as I normally only get down to Brisbane once a year.
Whilst I am with you I need help with setting a bevel. Just not working for me yet....... :(
Sunbird
could do Thursday evening. Herston is good for me. :D
will do my best to fit in with you guys.
Thanks for doing all this work Geoff.
Adam
Wednesday would be good for me, Thursday is doable i will just have to change shifts.
Look forward to being there
I see we're talking a Wednesday or Thursday evening at Herston. I guess this means late May, i.e. the 22nd and 23rd or the 29th and 30th?
I could probably make any of those dates. It's been a while since the last one and I'm keen to catch up.
Mike
Hi Guys,
Wednesday 22nd May through to Friday 24th May are all good for me.

Hi All,
I have just found out that I'll be in Canberra from 19 - 24 May.......:cry: so I'll need someone to take the reins and look after the catch-up.
Any takers?
I sooooo dissappointed that I won't be able to meet up with everyone again ('cause I've missed you) and I won't be able to play with the Zulu....:(
There'll always be another one though
Geoff, sorry to hear you wont be able to make it :mad:
It will not be the same, but I am sure we will all be thinking of you in Cb.
Sunbird
That'll be T-shirt weather for the local bike riders . :pQuote:

I rode back from Melbourne in May with only my summer gear a few years back.
4 deg when I got to Dubbo and 4 deg when I left the next morning - gotta love it.
I miss the nights when we used to stop fly fishing because we had to constantly dip the rods in the river to unstick the frozen line from the runners.
Yeah - i caught my best trout, a 3.5kg brown, in Jindabyne while it was snowing on me..

Hey guys, there is a newer member, http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/naallen12.html , that you should try to get on board with your get-together, I know your experience could really help him out besides the fellowship.
Was gonna say. If he's up for the 1300 mile drive from SA to QLD. ;)Quote:

No worries Shooter. I don't reckon many would realise how big this country is.Quote:

Follow the development here
So, I was thinking....How many guys are here from South Australia?
Actually I was curious so Googled it, theirs is bigger:Quote:

In fact, we're SIXTH apparently! That's no good! Must be because of that 'bonding session' at the Olympics. Clear case for increased funding, surely...

Man I am so out of the loop here! You blokes sound like you're talking crazy talk now. Has this meet up happened? Am I too late? Someone call me and let me know what's happening. I'm never around any bloody more.
Mick
It hasn't happened yet Mick.
I'll give you a call soon and 'havachat'
Hey Guys,
Any update on day / venue next week. Flights booked: Arriving Brissy Wed 22nd Departing Sunday morning 26th.
I am really hoping to catch up with the SEQ contingent!
Sunbird
G'day gents
Sad news for our get together :(
I have managed to get in touch with Stu (Str8razor) and found out his Church is not available for booking this weekend.
Unless somebody has a quick fix alternative for this weekend we will need to set a new date for our get together.
I'm open to suggestions for Saturday or Sunday, any takers.
@ Sunbird sorry you couldn't get to another Brissy meet up after travelling from Nth Qld, that's life mate.
Best regards
Rick
Hey Guys,
why don't we just meet up at a park? There are plenty around. Mt Cooth-Ha, North Pine Dam, Redcliffe, take your pick.
Picnic table with a roof over it and we're set. Sorry my examples are all North side, but that is the area i know. :)
Adam
How about a coffee shop?
Hi Guys,
I arrived safely this afternoon from Townsville where it was sunny and about 26 degrees to a freezing cold 16 degrees overcast dank southern climate to hopefully catch up with a few guys.
Does anyone live / work near the Gold Coast??
Sunbird
Struth . Thought it didn't get that cold in QLD. ;)Quote:

So this little do hasn't happened yet then? Good! Because I wasn't available when Adam contacted me to say it was on. I might have a second chance now.
Mick
You mean Far North Q ?
Rhetorical question. Don't answer that. ;)
Depends on just where you live I suppose. ;)
