Doug3030's Open Shed Day for 2019

[Pagie]

I will bring a couple and maybe some timber.

[Oldgreybeard]

Maureen & I will be there. Would you like Maureen to knock up a pasta salad? Will see if I have some suitable timber for the swap table.

Doug, for those who don't know or have forgotten you address (like me!!) will you PM your address.

I'm sure Maureen makes a great pasta salad and I'm sure it will be appreciated.

PM's with te address will be sent this week.

[doug3030]

Those who have not already done so - please reconfirm your attendance or otherwise so we have a better idea of numbers etc. I will be sending out my address and mobile number in case you get lost by PM in the next day or two. For planning purposes we are very close to the APCO service station on the corner of Morris and Reserve roads Hoppers Crossing.

Just a few little items of shed etiquette so we all know what to expect -

We live right at the end of a Court. As is the case in most courts this means a lot of driveways in a small area so it may not be possible for everyone to park at the front door. Please respect the neighbors' driveways. I have to live here after everyone has gone home.

Once you have parked, come up the driveway and enter through the garage, through the open rolla-door. Do not knock on the front door - there will probably not be anyone in the house to hear you.

Please bring your own chairs if you can. We have a limited number of spare chairs for those who may not be able to bring their own for whatever reason.

There will be some fridge space available to put your drinks in, but it may fill up quickly. Alcohol is permitted but common sense is to prevail. If you choose to drink do not expect to play with any toys with sharp bits or spinning parts

There is no need to dress up to visit my shed. Dress in your shed clothes or at least something comfortable that you don't mind getting dirty in if the opportunity arises. Enclosed footwear is recommended.

Tablesaws, bandsaws, jointers, thicknessers, drill presses, milling machines, vises, forges, anvils and lathes or anything else made of steel or cast iron are not considered as suitable places to put your drink down.

We are providing a basic barbecue lunch, Some other attendees have indicated that they are bringing other food to share. It is your choice whether to bring any food or not. Contributions of food are appreciated but are entirely your own free choice and we will not be keeping score of who does or does not contribute and I trust that nobody else will either. We never truly know what someone else's circumstances are and I do not want anyone who cannot afford to contribute to feel at all uncomfortable or unwelcome, or even worse, not come at all.

It is a condition of our lease that smoking is not permitted in the undercover areas. Common courtesy also rules out smoking around food. I respect your right to smoke, if you are so inclined, and ask you to respect other people's rights to not be forced to inhale the byproduct of your pleasure. If you wish to smoke please go into the side yard and stand in the vicinity of the clothes line, which is in a separate area from where the gathering will be. Please dispose of your butts thoughtfully. If I see smoke or flame coming from any part of your body or anything you are holding and you are not near the clothes line I will assume you are on fire and you will be extinguished in the most expedient manner available. Smoke emitted by barbecues and chainsaws will be considered as a normal function of their operation and no action will be taken against them unless they become out of control.

Behavior of children is the responsibility of the accompanying parent.

Above all, have fun, meet new friends, swap ideas and get inspired.

[Bohdan]

See you there. Will bring a domino jig for demo.

[Kuffy]

I'll be there. I can't think of anything that would be of interest to others for swap or show n tell so it'll likely be just me.

[doug3030]

Weather forecast for Sunday is a nice warm 27 degrees and partly cloudy. We can only hope they get it right for once.

Rain or shine it will be a great day regardless.

[DonP]

Lorraine will look after her own food due to dietary needs.
