Works for me. I dropped by Sovereign Hill last year on the way back from Sydney, will be going up to Sydney for the winter next year as well, I expect. I didn't see everything I wanted to last time so, given a decent lead time for planning travelling, I'd love to spend a weekend there.

Phil(s),
I would be available this Saturday am only or Sunday pm only. Pam and I are going to see a show Satruday night in Melbourne and staying overnight to go to the Camberwell market.....
Before and after that is OK.

Hi Phil,
Well thats some heavy looking iron you have to work on there.
I had a weekend stay in the lodge with meals, blood on the southern cross, two day passes etc. Had a great time..... not so sure about the boss.
Not sure I can make any of those dates but thanks for the offer and a great time to those that can make it.

O.K lots to digest there
First and foremost, let’s keep Sep 2012 up our sleeve for a “Steam Up” / Scrap Up reunion. And those offers are more than, over the top generous.
I’ve heard back from Greg. He is head down / #### up with his studies on the new aircraft. Something I concur with. I’m often sitting up the back, and hoping those guys can land it. He doesn’t have a lot of spare time in the next few months.
So – A Short sharp visit this Saturday is possible. Joe’s heading to town, so if he was to take a round trip. 40 miles extra. I’ll talk to Ken J. I’ve just sent a brief email to Ray. Maybe Stu can be convinced to slip out of town for 10 hours. (Tell her, you have taken up golf)
So it would only be a handful of us. I’m happy to drive up. I have something for Phil. And its almost quicker to drive it there, then go to the post office.

HI Phil
the reunion is a' must do' now I think.
If there is one, two, three, five ,ten coming its not a problem. I am still happy to take you guys around.
Shame about greg but I think I would prefer he study as well as I am occasionally up the back too. lol
Stuart, I need some consultation on machine restoration. (you could try that one maybe)

Hi Phil,
Can't make it for this weekend, due to extended familyre-enactment of "Blood on the Southern Cross"... sorry Christmas party, hard to tell the difference some years..
The September steam/scrape party sounds like a winner... there must be some heavy duty scraping around there that a group of loud drunks can help with...
Regards
Ray

Is Sun 11th Dec or Mon 12th Dec better for anyone else? Greg is pretty much out of anything this side of Christmas.
I’m still thinking about making a flying visit this Saturday. But I think that would only be 3 of us, Joe, Ken J and myself, at this stage.
I don’t want to spoil that for any one that could make it on the 11th or 12th. So I’d be happy to postpone it until then.
I’ve just knocked up the boys from Horsham, waiting to hear back from them.
Regards Phil.
{Adding on Edit}
Is this Sunday afternoon better for anyone, Lunchtime on, when Joe gets back from the big smoke. I’ve just heard back from Ken, he’s out for Saturday.

I think I can do Sunday afternoon.
As it stands ATM I have to be in Bacchus March for dinner, so as seems to be my pattern I might have to run off early.
Stuart
p.s. I could likely do Mon the 12th alsoLast edited by Stustoys; 23rd November 2011 at 01:42 PM. Reason: p.s.

If there is a choice, I would prefer any time over the 11/12 weekend, as Pam is not really happy about changing her plans over thid weekemd - nor going separately in two cars....

I’m starting to think that the 11th or 12th is going to be a better option, for more people to attend. Remembering the 12th is a Monday / work day. I’d imagine the Sunday 11th is high season for Christmas functions. So which day suits more people? I’m totally flexible for either day.
Phil.

Sunday is busier than Monday and that won't bother us at all. In fact I have no idea why I threw that in there. But then I am 53 years old
