Andrew,
Welcome!
Come along to the mini meet and you can ask ton of questions with the folks around that day.

[ABG]

Thanks for the invitation Birddog. Where do I have to go to? What should I bring along?

I noticed that you start the mini meet at 12:00. Does it matter if I turn up a bit late? I coach my eldest son's cricket team and normally don't get away from the park much before 12:30.

Cheers

Andrew

[birddog114]

Rokkstar & Timbo,
You're in, and it's full!!!!

[Steffen]

Hi all,
I'm new to this community, in fact this is my first post. I'm an old Nikonian that just recently dabbled into DSLR's. I've learned a lot already from this site, and look forward to soaking up more know-how from digital photography experts.

I would have loved to join the mini meet, but I've just noticed it's full...

I'd like to ask a couple of questions anyway, since I had some trouble decoding the invite. With this out of the way, maybe I'll make it next time.

Firstly, *where* are the mini meets held? This must be either obvious or well-known, but I sure don't get it.

Secondly, what about those times? "D2 Series meet at 00:00"?? Is that x + 00:00?

Thanks very much for your time,
Cheers
Steffen.

[sirhc55]

Welcome Steffen - the mini meets are held at Birddog’s and the reason that they are now by invitation, is simply due to the number of members that wish to visit the guru’s palace.

The meets from midnight have always been taken as ”tongue in cheek” - when the next mini meet is posted you will be able to put your name down and pm Birddog for an address

[birddog114]

I'm having few well sought-after lenses with surprised prices on the spot.
