WWJJ WoodWorkers Jerilderie Jaunt Jan 2014

[DaveTTC]

Well has anyone bothered to ask Ned's newly placed remains what they think of this?

Well I was at the meeting when it was decided. The question was asked,"should we ask Ned how he feels about the date being changed?"

Someone pointed to a poster of Ned on the wall and there it was, his famous quote - "such is life"

If we were to come Easter would be out for no other reason than its Easter.......family and traffic the reasons.

I agree with FF The Letter is the attraction as well as woodwork.

Jerilderie Letter Event has been held over till Easter 2015 - what that means for us???

there are a few options

Keep things as it is for Feb 7,8 & 9
Postpone or cancell
Bring it forward into the holidays

I dont want to cancel, I believe only one has booked accommodation and I will check with them their flexibility. Im good friends with Sue from the B&B where he is staying and am sure we can organise a switch of time if that suits others better.

So please - a little feed back if anyone has any preference or if you are flexible. If I dont hear back I will start to message everyone individually to see what suits the majority.

hi Dave!

I am happy with any date that is set
Being my very first woodworkers get-together, I am so excited I can't wait to come, meet you and everyone, share ideas and learn alot.

Accommodation-wise, I was just gonna rough it camping out near water somewhere.

Whichever date that is set, I will make time to come!

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it up there now Dave, things have changed and I'll be too far away at the time. Hope it all goes well.

Thanks for the heads up, sorry you want be there.

I'hope to make this a regular thing so maybe next time

Australia Day weekend 2014, after some deliberation I am putting forward that the Jerilderie Jaunt wood workers weekend might come forward to the above long weekend.

As mentioned earlier the Letter Event Committee has postponed the Ned Kelly thing to Easter 2015. By coming forward 2 weeks back into January it may make it easier for those with kids if they want to bring them along also.

For those who don't have the luxury of retirement or flexible work schedule etc the long weekend may be a better option also. I have discussed this with a few who have shown interest and it seems to suit the majority.

There will be fireworks Sunday night too

Look forward to further feed back. I will likely approach the moderators in the next week to change the title of this thread accordingly

regards

Dave

As mentioned below, Tea Lady now a definite

Christmas is around the corner and next thing we'll be in the new year.

Why hey not make this your first wood & forum event for 2014

[DaveTTC]

OK guys and gals, blokes and sheilas and anyone else I've left out ... the time approaches. Here is the plan.

This one is my first so will be a bit 'rough' and a serve as a basis to build bigger and better.

At this point in time I believe 043turning will be here with supplies and timber timber blanks

Jim said it would be too small, I will have further talks with Neil from Ubeaut to see if he wants to come or send any supplies up for those who may want them. With a possibility that 'may' be here it might work out for him to bring some Ubeaut stuff up if Neil does not come. That is just an idea and I have not confirmed it with any parties.

If the event has less than 40 people I will probably hold it at my house which is on 1500 m2. There are some areas under cover and a good lawn area.

If held at my place food will be BBQ, sandwiches and the like. A night at the chinese could be done and one night will be at the lake for fireworks for those interested.

Coffee and tea will be on tap and I will have a supply of bottled water and other drinks (donations for such appreciated)

Feel free to bring food to throw into the stockpile and drinks (I prefer no alcohol as we are working with tools, if you want to go down the pub or like in the evening that is up to each individual)

Accommodation available as per earlier posts. There may be room for some to bunk or camp here, there is free camping at the creek.

Partners and children welcome, the town pool is open during certain hours and there is a swimming hole down the creek. I have 3 young children so there are swings and trampoline here too.

What to bring
Smile Good attitude Tools Timber Portable shade leads and power boards

Any questions just ask

[Chris Parks]

Dave, have you decided if this is only one day or two?

What happens for meals. Is there anywhere for breakfast? I guess lunch is no issue.

If two days how is the evening meal to be dealt with?

I believe Monday is the public holiday.

I'm expecting most will turn up Friday some time. Then we will have all day Saturday and Sunday. Sunday night is fire works and stuff going on down the lake. I think most will go there and there will be a range of take away.

Breakfast - for those staying at my house or who come early I will have a range of cereals, toast etc. Some may stay at a motel and choose to have breakfast there - up to them.

Lunch - there are a few takeaways and a bakery in walking distance. Again I will have bread and some limited supplies for sandwiches. If people let me know what they want for lunch I may look at having more onsite. BBQ facilities will be here also.

Tea
Friday - BBQ
Saturday - Chinese for those interested otherwise other take away or BBQ etc. I'm looking at seeing if the Chinese will put on an all you can eat so numbers for those interested would assist.
Sunday - at the lake, for any who do not wish to go to the lake self serve leftovers or other take away.

For this 1st event there will be no cover charge. Any donations monetary or otherwise will be appreciated but not demanded

Monday packing up at people's leisure breakfast available and no doubt lunch for anyone still here.

Ps. Thanks for bringing the lathe down for me Chris, I did not get to catch up with you at Brett's.
