Melbourne FGT - OCTOBER 2016

[doug3030]

Thanks to all who attended.

It was a great relaxing Sunday afternoon, to follow on form a hectic Sunday morning preparing for the possibility of wind and rain. I made enough room in the shed for us all to gather and close the doors if the weather turned nasty like it was yesterday. Fortunately the weather was pretty good and we could use the pergola/deck/carport area as well.

It will probably take me a day or two to put everything back into a usable condition. Well to tell the truth I had to do some rearranging anyway. It was good to meet new friends and to spend time with existing friends.

A big thanks to Sally for the "yummies" and Maureen for the cake.

Thanks to Matt and Sally for arriving early to assist with final preparations.

Gabriel, I appreciate you supporting the event even though your time was limited, and thanks for bringing the "fourth leg".

There were many interesting items on the show and tell table.

Thanks to all who attended.

LOST PROPERTY:.

Some items were left behind:

- Two chairs have already been claimed.

- One folding chair.

- A cardboard box containing small fragments of timber (I suspect this was abandoned rather than forgotten)

Anyway, it was a great day. We would consider doing it again next October.

Cheers

Doug

Under the current guidelines for FGT's aren't you supposed to start a new thread for a different event?

Finally have a brief opportunity to check the computer.

Big thank you to Doug and Jools for holding the get together. Great to meet up again with you mexicans, twice in one visit is amazing, 3 if you count Philip Island. Thank you for all the yummy food too.

The box of wood I left behind contained spalted BH Sassy (may need some stabilisation), Elm, Red Gum burl scraps and some other hardwood species. Mainly only pen blank stuff but hopefully someone will make use of it.

With the momentum we are gathering with the....errr..... gatherings, it's turning into quite an enjoyable regular event. Even though I missed the opportunity to talk to everyone as time was against me today, it was excellent to put a few more faces to names and many thanks to Doug and Jools for hosting.

Shame you couldn't make it, I was interested in an update on what happened to the casting we did at your place

Sorry to bump up this thread for an event in the past, but I am sure the Blue mountains thread will be on top again soon.

I would not have done it except I still have one piece of unclaimed lost property from this event at my shed.

Who left their folding chair behind and has not yet claimed it?

Any takers?

Going once.....
