    Default 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.

    G'day Peter!

    That sound just great!

    Happy to show Doug my shed/pit/garage (), and could pick up Jules if required.

    Methinks you're going to need to keep a register of who's coming and who's doing what with and/or to whom :eek:

    Cheers!

    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.

    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.
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Put me down, Hopefully I wont get caught up with family comitments this time and actually turn up before everyone leaves.

    Hay this one is closer... No point in checking my shed, cant even get in there myself (Gotta clean up, and sort it out)
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    A work day for me unfortunately, and my mate's 50th that night so I'm out.

    Just behave, OK ?

    Will send a PM.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I have a woodturning club visiting the workshop that day and helping turn a 750 KG log into a "doll". Doug is more than welcome to visit if some one can bring him down.

    I will put in a tentative Yes to the BBQ.
