Adelaide forum members meet and greet
In an earlier thread I suggested a social group meeting of South Australian forum members.
Having suggested the event I guess it makes me the coordinator. :eek:
I am open to suggestions, but I'm aiming to keep it:
- informal and relaxed
- somewhere central in Adelaide
- perhaps with a theme
- on a weekend
Depending on numbers attending, my idea was to run a sausage sizzle with BYO drinks and a chair, in or around someone's workshop/garage.
I discussed the idea with SWMBO and she was OK with of holding it our place, especially the weekend of the 10th as she and young ndru are visiting interstate that weekend. We have a fair bit of room and there is plenty of parking space nearby, although my "workshop" is nothing particularly interesting at this stage. Perhaps it could be a bit of "show and tell" as well, where people bring along their favourite hand tools, small projects, photos, etc to chat with others about.
However, I think if it ended up being greater than 20 people it would be too much for me. I could shelter about 20 people in my garage and under the carport, but it would be no good during a typical Adelaide winter day and may have to wait until Spring.
Alternatively, we may be able to approach a local retailer (eg Mik, Leda, etc) and convince them to provide their location, possibly with a product demo or two. I know that Gabbetts are throwing such an event this weekend.
Any thoughts???
