It was nice meeting you all. We had the following members turn-up today: Noel & Family Nathan (Naff) and friend. JD and son (later on) My family and I. Geoff and Matt were missing in action It was a nice and relaxing picnic and the weather held up OK. Everything was OK, except those damn flies that drove Noel and Silvia mad, that they deiced to leave Sydney tomorrow Other than that, we explored each others accessories and discussed upcoming mods and also discussed plans for future meet-up and at this stage an over-night drive to Canberra in January is on the cards (will make a separate post for this soon) Photos of the day (click on the thumbnail to enlarge)  nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Sat, 19 Nov 2005 18:35:17 +0000 Re: Forum X-mas Gathering-Saturday 19/11/05https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p881166,from=rss#post881166https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p881166,from=rss#post881166I thought I'd let everyone know that Clare and I have made a last-minute decision to go to Oberon this weekend (possibly leaving Thursday night), and unfortunately we wont be able to make it to the Christmas Party lunch this Saturday. We'll really miss catching up with some of the regulars, and meeting newer members for the first time. We hope the day turns out better than today's weather and everyone has a safe and enjoyable day. However not all is lost... Clare did suggest to me that we could have an informal BBQ at our house sometime before Christmas, so keep an eye out for that one! (Obviously personal details won't be posted to the forum - we don't want half of Sydney gate-crashing our place!) nondisclosed_email@example.com (basshead)Wed, 16 Nov 2005 20:52:16 +0000 *Going a head*Forum X-mas Gathering-Saturday 19/11/05https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p881165,from=rss#post881165https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p881165,from=rss#post881165Hi Guys, This is just a confirmation post that the X-mas Picnic is going full steam a head on Saturday the 19th and the invite is open to all.

A similar event was arranged last year and the turn-up was great and everybody had lots of fun. I'm open to suggestions on locations and dates. I'll start by proposing that we hold this function sometime in November. Let us know what you think. If members from other states can make it as well, it'll be even better nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Fri, 07 Oct 2005 16:55:03 +0000
