Gold Coast Australia Day BBQ

Been talking to Ruffly today and thought it would be a good idea to have another SEQ forumite BBQ. I'm away for Feb, and so are quite a few others, so I thought Australia Day would be perfect.

Soooo, Monday 26 January 2009 from 10am onwards at my place :2tsup:. Family members welcome

Ok, I'm thinking I'll provide some marinated lamb kabarbs, and maybe some chicken ones as well, plus good old sausages.

Therefore I need someone else to bring:

Bread
Salads - a few different types please :wink:
Nibbles
Deserts - Since it is Aus Day, how about Pavlova???
Anything else to eat :?

Everyone should also bring what ever they want to drink. But I will have plenty of water for those that forget :U

What to do, well I'm thinking of just sitting back chewin the fat and doing the usual door prize thing we usually do. So bring something you have spare, or have made to give away, timber, basically anything you may think someone else might appreciate :p. Hopefully it will be hot and we can get the pool volleyball going :cool:

Post here if you are interested, if you don't know where I live, and what you will bring to eat etc.

Next week I will sent a PM with my address to those of you that have never been here.

:aussie5:

I'm in :2tsup:

I'll bring some of my potato salad and a door prize or two:)

cheers
Wendy

Sounds great, but unlikely i will be able to come. Things can change tho.

Donna

I am in.

Let me know your address and I will look it up in the Refidex.

I will see if I can organize some desserts.

Oh and I can do a turning or dovetail demo

Already have plans.:(
They're at Nerang.
:oo:....what's that. This is in Nerang?
Chalk me in as a maybe, will try & stop in on the way out with the wife & 2.74 year old. Will let you know closer to the date. .:)

Wotta great Idear ! Think I can get the mrs to take a trip thataway :) Look forward to seeing some of the faces behind the "tags" at least once anyways hehe! see if I can knock up a "spurtle" to give away lol. cheers JD

Okay Neil.
I'll be there this time.
I'll bring some loaves of home-made bread and a lemon meringue pie.
An adjustable shooting board for a door prize and some lumps of timber for the turners-- pink bloodwood, lychee, maybe mulberry.

Anybody want a lift from the Sunshine Coast? One seat free in the ute.

Neil

I am planning to come along. I'll bring a salad and some nibblies. No idea as to what bring as a swap item just yet.

Make sure you warn the neighbours about Weisyboy's milling demo in advance this year!:oo:

I'll definitely be there, Thanks Wendy:2tsup:

I'll bring a few tools for the door prize and some kind of nosh

Eh, I think they wife has plans already :C. Plus, we went through Nerang two weeks ago!! That was our obligatory annual trip to the beach for the boys :P Not that it was a great day, given it rained most of the time, and the lifeguards had heart attacks when our boys went into the water...

Things may change, not sure when I'll know though.

Russell.

Just found out that the Barbie we are going to is at night, so I can come along. Will see if swmbo can bang up one of her trifles. Should be able to rustle up something for a door prize.

I'm coming from Kenmore, so can give anyone in the West a lift down.

Cheers
Michael

I can come and and I can make a cob loaf dip,but Nerang is such a long way at least 15 minutes. :U

I'm supposed to be in Roma that weekend but pls PM me the details as well in case I come back early.

Just heard Calm is leaving early so he can come :2tsup:

Hi Eliza,
Not that it will give you much comfort, a stranger offering a lift, but I could give you a lift down. It's a nice safe new model Prado. Besides, it would be nice to have company to keep me awake, I have trouble staying awake driving...

Oh, did I say that out loud?:wink:

Cheers

Thanks for the kind offer, but I think I'll stay home and play with my lathe and think about all you guys enjoying the BBQ.

:o:no::~:U

What a wonderful idea, we live just around the corner and would love to pop in if we may.
Be good to put some faces to the avitars.
Will contact you on your mobile to see what else you would like us to bring.

Cheers
Steve

to bad i gotta work:C

Sorry Neil but I will not be able to make it, again. I held off responding hoping things would change but alas no. You seem to have a good crowd and I would have loved to have been able to link names on a computer to faces. Anyway it was not to be. You seem to be a social soul so when you have another one I'll make it a priority.
