Going to Paris comrade
the Parisiens have been revolting again which is nothing new, I am joining in. Ya got to go where the funs at.

Agreed. Stay on-topic all.

Don't make me delete your post!

You can reply off-topic AFTER the mini-meet.

I'll be there.

Vicky and I shall be there as well

I have a wedding reception at 11:30 on the North Shore (in fact I have 2 weddings to go to on that day ) but I'll drop in beforehand, maybe from 9 to 10 only. Looking forward to catching up with the gang again!

We'll be there alive and sparking

Not drinking the night before helps even at our age

No idea where, but count me in anyway.

Cheers
Steffen.

Birddog will probably PM you his address... just don't pull out the last minute!

I forgot Vicky cannot make it as she has a party to go to, but I will be there.

Thanks for keep me posted!

Let her have fun with her party and we do the boys night out

I'll be there

Hi birddog, I'm definitely interested. Hopefully my D70s will arrive before that weekend, but even if I don't receive it by then, it's ok to attend without one, right? I'm a complete newbie to all this, but would love to sit in and listen to the more knowledgable heads.

cheers
Des.

Hooray! I'm not working and will definately be there from 9am to about 11:30-12pm. Unfortunately Bel won't be able to make it. Thanks Birdy!!

Note to self: don't drink too much the night before

I will if you will Birdy!

Back to topic! two more seats to go and this mini meet will be closed for booking.

Thanks all for the replies. Looking forward too see all of you.

And the next mini meet is twilight mini meet, it's also the last mini meet of the year 2005.

Stay tuned for the details + info of the "Twilight mini meet" will be announced soon.

Sorry I missed this thread.

Is there still room for Genista and I? We'll be there if that's the case.

If there is still room Birddog I'll be there. Don't worry if there isn't?

Regards,
Bill

Yes, Doug + Genistar + Bill. Your names are in.

OK, All seats are now taken and the booking is now closed for this mini meet.

Thanks all once again, and I'm looking forward to see all of you.

Is there any words as yet on any special events ? Over the Xmas Party weekend ? Or will they be revealed close to the date ?

I thought I heard rumor of a organised shoot...? I've freed up my weekend in any case so I can attend, if something does go ahead...

Perhaps we can get Wendell to give a fashion shoot tutorial, we could enlist rockkstar to model for us ?

Sorry I missed the posts. If there are any cancellations, please consider me for attendance.

Cheers,
Terry

You would think at my age I would be able to spell a simple four letter word.

Ah, damn....

I too missed this till now - was mid-move...

Birddog, if any cancellations come up, please advise...?? I really need to learn how to clean my CCD - I have a feeling dust bunnies are going to become the bane of my existence...

I will be flying up from Melbourne on Friday for the Xmas diner and have arranged to fly home late on the Saturday so that I could attend my first ever mini-meet.

If there is any way you could squeeze me in I would be greatful.

Cheers
Deano - destined to remain a mini-meet virgin

Just a plaintiff, hopeful bump that perhaps a spot had opened up? Will be in Sydney and would love to come.... unfortunately with all my packing and moving from Korea, I didn't have net access when this idea was first floated....

I live in hope....

Cyanide,
Sorry, it's still full, no cancellation as yet! perhaps next one is the last mini meet of the 05 on the 17/12.

Ahhh, that's a shame, but no worries.... 'twas worth an ask.

Unfortunately I am only in Sydney for this coming weekend, so I won't have the option of the next mini-meet...

Thanks for the reply, anyway, Birddog. Will check my PMs on Sat morning if I can, in one last ditch hope that someone might cancel...

Cheers

Loz,

Thank you for your generosity in this matter.

Hopefuly Cyanide will be able to take up your offer.

That's great birdy. It would really be a shame if two out of towners missed their first mini meet.
