WWF Get together - Australia Day Weekend 2015 - Jerilderie

G'day all,

This is terribly short notice as so much has been going on in my life of late but ....

It's finally posted ... the next Australia Day Get Together.

Cost-Your time
Where- My Place, JERILDERIE
When-24, 25 & 26 Jan 2014
Why-Have some fun, chat, swap, sell, show and do some wood/metal work
Food-Last year the BBQ went non stop, there was cereal for breakfast. Most threw in a little something and there was plenty to go around.

Last year we had a great time, it was nice and casual and family friendly. Bring your kids and partner if you like.
Some stayed at my place, some came for a day and some stayed at a motel etc.

There are at least two rooms up for grabs and possibly a caravan with a twin and two singles.

I would like to think that some may like to bring a project to share or work on while here. You are welcome to bring some tools or a lathe etc.

The following link for accommodation. If you want any specific recommendations just let me know.

Thank you Dave.... need to confirm a few things but really want to get there this year...cheers, Peter

Be great to see you. Hope you can make it.

Hermit might come subject to getting a lift.

Trevor aka repliconics as a definite and two maybe three others. Good start

Really looking forward to it Cowboy!
I'll be there with the Indian. :2tsup:
Be great to catch up with the Finley boys as well!

Cheers mate
Trev.

Will do my best to get there Dave, but my back is a real issue at the moment.

Right now I am not real mobile but I may be ok by Australia Day. I was in a lift at work last week that dropped a floor, causing me great pain from the sudden stop. So far it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

See you if I make it

Doug

Count me in, bringing the caravan with me, waiting on Crowie to confirm if he's coming with me

Well, apparently, if I am well enough to travel my presence will be required somewhere else.

Apparently someone I hardly know is getting married that weekend.

I hope the weekend is a great success for Dave and all those who can attend

Cheers

Doug

Trev, cant wait ... yes I should have added to the list some ring-ins. Cag and Geof are on the forum and will be here no doubt as they are also from my 'local' wood turning club. There could be a few other locals to add to the list too.

Doug. I feel your pain. I did my back in Adelaide a few weeks ago. Twisted while lifting a lathe into the hatch back. Ouch. Almost recovered now. Hope you have a speedy recovery and make it over.

Oh a few more replies since I started typing that at about 4.

Doug, you'll be missed. It goes for three days ;)

Ray .... You parking here, at the park or free camping at the beach

Peter ... Hope that mail is a yes you are coming.

I'm gonna have to start cleaning the place up. I think that's why Raechell loves me having these do's. It makes me sort things. That will have some of you wondering when you get here lol. You'll be thinking 'man how bad was it before'

Trouble is the wedding is in Hobart so I doubt I will have time to head up even for a day trip :no:

Its someone the girlfriend worked with in Darwin and I hardly know. Facebook should be taken offline for $h!t like this.

Cheers

Hey no fair cleaning up the useful box! :~
There's gem's everywhere in amongst that lot! :C

I would have loved to come up again! I really enjoyed this year's meeting. However I'll be overseas from January 22 next year. I wish you all a great weekend and lots of fun and tall stories!
I look forward to the write ups and photos and will participate vicariously from a distance.

I was going to pm you and ask what is available there and costs, never been in that neck of the woods so don't have a clue

Free camping at the beach??? Middle of NSW?rather large hike from Batemans

Middle of NSW? St Kilda beach is a lot closer than Batemans Bay. Dave's is about 3 1/2 hours drive from Melbourne; a lot closer than the NSW coast, the Blue Mountains and, obviously, Sydney.

Dave, of course I'll be there. Don't know which day(s) yet.

Trevor, the useful box will be centrally located for easy access to potential Brougham (spelling?) parts, not strewn across the yard, on the verandahs, in the hallways, in the shed, in the street, in the museum....

I have updated the first post with a link to various places. You are welcome to camp in the driveway. Not sure how much hot water there will be depending on how many stay. SO far I have never run out so should be fine.
If you want free camping in the creek I can tell you where that is ... walking distance from my place

How so?

As you well know, I'm often missing in action. I thought most people who know me would be used to it by now.

Of course, I WON'T sleep through the whole 3 days of the GTG so I'll be there. :sleep3:

OK guys putting together a menu .... something like this

SATURDAY
BreakfastCereal
LunchSandwiches
TeaBBQ

SUNDAY
BreakfastCereal
LunchHamburgers
TeaLasagne

MONDAY
BreakfastCereal
LunchBBQ

Tea & Coffee will be available as will a variety of soft drinks, water and juice.

There will be no charge for food and drink but should you feel inclined to make a donation there will be a discreet tin for such.

If you can let me know as we get closer the time what day / days you will be there I can make sure there is plenty of food. If you have special dietary needs I will try to accommodate that too

I require lobster, sturgeon caviar and juice - or just choose one of them.

Still unsure of which days and how many mouths.

Oh, and make sure the discreet tin is not required for Trevor's next build!

There's always got to be one lol

I'll get the kids to drop a pot I. The lake and drag a net through the weeds and see if we can get some fresh cray and fish eggs

Come as many days as you like with as many as you like


Dave

The Turning Cowboy

Pavlova has been added to the menu.


For those coming if you happen to have a favourite folding chair or the like that you would like to bring that may be of benefit too


Dave the turning cowboy

I would love to be there and meet up with everyone, but I have my brother's 70th birthday party on Saturday night. I haven't been to Jerilderie for about 35 years. One of our better footballers came from there many years ago (Billy Brownless)
I hope we get to see lots of photos posted just to make me more envious. :C

The pics should be flowing. You will be missed. If your still sober Sunday ... ;)

Dallas, You could just sneak away on Sunday with your brother for a quick drive and the stay away overnight??:wink:...

There's still an empty van going with four beds


Dave the turning cowboy

turning wood into art

four (lathe) beds...






...sorry...had to...couldn't help it...



Come on guys. Time for everyone to come out of the woodwork (bad pun, not initially intended) and indicate their intentions to Dave. It was a great, relaxed time last year.

Melbourne forumites; you're (at most) only 4 hours away and it is such an easy drive, mostly at 110km/h once past Kalkallo. We country folk do that standing on our heads, well, not whilst driving. Welcome all to the Riverina!

Just as well you country folk don't stand on your heads when you are driving, you would ruin your hats. :D

I thought they might be a friction fit, kind of like a jam chuck :D

Cheers

Doug

I don't like to chuck my jam anywhere except down the hatch.

As for hats .... They really do stay on. I've dived out of trees into the creek, off a diving board into a pool and kept it on through the ordeal. The rim does get a bit droopy but

Springwater 'may' be coming and if he does hopes to do a Ned head from a section of stump.

I plan to set up at least three lathes for anyone who wants to have a go and maybe set a challenge or two. If anyone has some tools in need of new handles good chance for a new handle. If you have an old ferrule or some spares that may come in handy.


Dave the turning cowboy

&
