Melbourne meet and greet Doug and Jules.

Doug the slug and Jules are visiting Melbourne between the 23 and 28th of February. They have family commitments on both the Friday and Sunday and on the Saturday Jules is attending a course at Holmesglen Tafe until 5 – 5.30 but Doug is at a loose end that day.

They are both keen to meet in person as many of their "online" friends as they can and so I propose holding a BBQ on Saturday afternoon/evening the 25th of February to which you’re all invited.

It would be nice if various members could organize a tour of a few workshops for Doug during the day and finish up at my place and if someone coming past Holmesglen could pickup Jules as they are reliant on public transport or lifts.

You’re all welcome from say 4 – 4.30 onwards, I propose firing up the barbie around 6.30. BYO your own meats and drinks and pm me for the address.


Peter.

I think so too. When I get more responses and closer to the date I'll organise a schedule and let everyone know.

BTW my workshop will also be open for inspection.:D


Peter.

PM sent, Doug and Jules; this could turn into a shed crawl...

Rusty.

G'day,

Sturdee, put me down on a list of a shed crawl as I know Doug and Jules want to have a meet and greet with Sarah. Maybe I could pick them up from a shed crawl close by and get them to the next shed crawl.

I live at Kilsyth.

Sturdee, PM me with your adress and I'll put my hand up for the BBQ on the 25th.

Its a maybe from me at the mo, if I can make it Peter Ill just turn up.

I don't want to steal Sturdees post.

It starts at 10.00 AM and goes to about 4.00 or so.

I was going to have a meet and greet and demo a bit later on for Forum members doing the same thing.

Sturdee,

You can pencil me in for the BBQ too. I'm a bit busy but I would like to catch up with these two characters for a chat.

well i hope this doesnt put a damper on our trip, but jools and i have been hit with a bad belly bug. we have both spent most of today in bed, resting. I feel like ive been run over by a steamroller, every bone and joint aches. hoping we are feeling better by Thursday for travelling as well as socialising on the weekend. anyway back to bed for me soon

Beer or two on the weekend will knock it on the head.;)

Hey Mate!

Been eating some of that "13188" stuff, eh? :eek:

Hope that you and Jools are up to the w/end; take care:)

When i got out of bed this morning i think i had spent 30 of the last 32 hours in bed, but was still feeling tired. have been getting better as the day has gone on, only a 2 hour sleep through the day, gonna try some solid food tonight, and will hopefully be right for the weekendhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif

D&J, hope you are both well enough to travel, these things hit at the worst times.

It sounds like Satuday is going to be pretty full regardless, but I have to formally pike. I'm double-booked (and then some)! Shame, cos I just cleaned the workshop; you shoulda seen it- I wish my wife was that dirty!

(Ok, I saw it on the back of an unwashed truck and had to repeat it like a schoolboy...wonder what I've got for playlunch)?

Love it, mate :D :D :D

Unable to attend, booked with daughter at showjumping for the day.

If you have bags of sawdust and woodshavings stored up and trying to work out how to dispose of them you can bring them along tomorrow to the bbq.

I'll gladly take them of your hands. I won't use them to make hamburgers:D but the chook pen can always have some more sawdust.


Peter.

G'day Sturdee,

The dust etc. in my dc at the moment wouldn't even fill a shopping bag I'd think.

It's your if you want it, but it'd be paltry in size.
