South Australian get together soon!

[KBs PensNmore]

Just to let you know, Kryn and Erick are both CNC users.

I'm not a user, just a beginner, a VERY beginner at that.
So much so that I have to contact Erick every so often for how too's?????

I am interested in coming. The only thing I am working on at the moment is a new bench which is a bit big to bring. I do have photos of old projects and I can bring some old tools for show and tell.

Yes, you are more than welcome to join in, yep a bench is a little on the large size to bring with you! Some pics will be great to see and the tools, it’s interesting to see what people have acquired over the years.
I’m sure with the amount of interest we have so far in the get together, we won’t have any problems with conversation.
We may have to form a conga line to get through the shed though
Chairs, if everyone can bring a camp chair with them then we won’t have to worry about fighting for the last one when the music stops!

Thanks for starting this Cal, count me in too.

I don't think I really have much of interest to bring unless you have a dam for the kayaks I've built - but it's going to be too cold for them anyway. Will see what's in the shed and try to come up with something.

Great!
I can provide a frog pond, but I’m guessing that the kayaks are a bit big for it

Instead of bringing the kayaks bring the PHOTOS, doesn't take up as much room.

Ok, as of today below is a list of attendees.Could I have the first name of those that I don’t have on the list, just to make it easier on the day otherwise it will be like a ham radio club get together, breaker breaker!

KBspensandmore - Kryn ...
Wedgetail - Mark
Ericks2 - Erick ...
CBaulds- Cameron ...
macg - Graham ...
Bauldy - Tony
AndyJ - Andy ...
Boneinspector - Andrew ( a possible attending) ...
Rat52 - Mark
labr@ - Bob ...
Mswood - Matt ...

I have set up an email account which I will pm to all of those attending, this will save clogging up pm’s here and allow me to send just one email. Reply to that email for me to give me your email address. When it’s closer to the day I will shoot an email off to you with my home address.So on the day you need to bring a chair and what ever your drinking, I have tea and coffee here. Some show and tell if you wish to bring items or photos, you choose.

This will be an outdoor event as there isn’t much room in the house, so some warm clothes would be a good idea. I have the shed and a carport for cover if it rains. I will be firing up the BBQ, and adding some salads to the menu (nothing fancy)If there is interest I will mill the Blackwood logs with the Alaskan mill and have some ukulele sides ready to shape with the bending iron. My shed is only 6mtr x4mtr and there isn’t room for all of us to be inside at once but we will work it out. Other than that, I don’t have a set program for the day. Just come and meet fellow forumits and enjoy the day. Cheers Cal

Cal,

Not sure what your thoughts are about catering, but with the numbers you are getting perhaps suggest an "entry fee" to cover all food, tea coffee etc. While some people have offered to bring food it may get messy not being sure what you will get.
Obviously if you cater for those who indicate they are coming, and then they don't, you will have a lot of food that you may not get reimbursed.

Your event, so your call how you run it, just my thoughts as this thing is growing.

Regards

Bauldy

Great idea about the entry fee

After speaking to my partner Kym about a cover charge, we are both of the opinion that we are happy to cover the cost of hosting the day. So everyone can bring a chair and drink of choice and enjoy meeting each other. Maybe after the day someone else would like to host the next one? Will see what happens.
