No problem Birdie.

It is a wise move to keep numbers down for many reasons. Have a great time all.

This'll be my first meet :) It only says from 8am till 12pm, birddogs didn't say where to meet though. I presume it is somewhere in the CBD where birddog is?!?

Nope.

Birdy is in Belmore -- either a drive to his place or a short walk from Belmore train station.

I imagine he'll PM you about his details soon enough.

Hey Birdy,
Are you going to have a D200 at the meet to play with? Probably a good idea to actually hold one before leaping in to buying it!

To All,
If the weather aren't good as rain or hot then this mini meet will be postponed.
I'll keep all of you updated by Thursday evening or Friday noon.
Pls. stay tuned.

johndec,

I'm looking forward to my first minimeet on Saturday which I hope doesn't get postponed.

I'm seriously considering a Tokina 12-24 lens as my first lens lust experience and Stubbsy tells me you have one. If it's not too much of an imposition would you be able to bring it on Saturday so I can have a look at it please?

curly,
If the mini meet is not postponed, there are around two or three Tokina 12-24 owners will be at the meet.
Just bring full wallet of cash with you if you want one :lol: :lol:

P.S: I'm still on holiday till the 13th Jan.

No problems Curly. With a bit of luck I may have a new toy to attach it to if Maxwells get off their collective arses :shock:

Sorry to all members who made a booking for the 14/01/06

Due to unpredictable weather in the next few days, the mini meet on the 14/01/06 is cancelled.

The next proposed mini meet is on 11/ 02/06, once again if weather permitted.
