Leon,

I think I may have to pull out of this one, as I'm far busier than I imagined leading up to the AW. Thanks for organising this though, and if you do it again after I get back from OS I'd be interested.

Leon,

Me - Confirmed. (+2) - most probably

Guys,

The Heritage Fleet workshops is the last remaining place in Australia where they still do hot-rivetting. If you have a contact it may be beneficial to your shots if he could arrange for your to shoot some old time fabrication.

Just a thought.

[krpolak]

It is still ready to go? If yes I am in. Just tell me when

Sheepie,

As I was the only one for the Centennial Park excursion it has been canned, so I would like to join your excursion. I have sent a PM to Gary for registration. BTW: I am staying at Formule 1 Enfield.

Cheers,

[sheepie]

I would like to join your excursion

Done

I'll be sending out more details on Wednesday night. I'm guessing maybe you don't have transport, so we'll have to organise that. Let's know.

I am looking for a ride or I can catch a taxi to someone's place.

Where are you staying Fozzie??? North or South... You may have mentioned this elsewhere, but I'm losing track...

That is okay. I am not sure whether it is north, south, west or east. All I do know, is that it is about a 10 minute drive from lust city (Belmore).

I am staying at:

Hotel Formule 1 Enfield
626-628 Hume Highway
Strathfield South NSW 2136

Hi,

I'll be coming from Newcastle on the Saturday morning, so I can pick up those that need a ride. If you are on the North shore somewhere, let me know and I can pick you up on the way.

If nobody needs a ride from the North shore, then Fozzie, I can probably detour via the Formule 1 and pick you up. Just can't do both, would add to much travel time.

Cheers,

That's very South in my book...
Is there anyone else who's closer who can pick Fozzie up???
If not, I'll pick you up Fozzie...

[sheepie]

Who is TTT ???

Don't know, but they replied to the original thread:

I wish to go

WILL THE REAL TTT PLEASE STAND UP!

[HappyFotographer]

I'm not doing the fleet worksop, I'm off to stroll around lavender bay but if they are anywhere near each other I can pick him up as I am only a couple of mins from where he is staying.

Let me know.

Deb

[gstark]

Deb,

Getting Fozzie from the no-tell motel to the activities shouldn't be a major issue.

We have a number of people staying at the same place, and if Mudder is, then he's also going to Blackwattle Bay so they hopefully may be able to share resources.

[sheepie]

Can anyone going to this event please note the contact details message just posted on the main A/Weekend thread:

sheepie,

PM has just been sent.

Hi all - here's some details for Saturday's Heritage Fleet Workshop...

We will be meeting at 9am SHARP outside the main entrance to the workshops/wharf area. Keep an eye out for me - I'll be the one with camera gear Please make yourself known as soon as you arrive. Once 9am comes around, I don't intend waiting for anyone not already there - so if you are running late, please let me know on my mobile - 0434 995621.

Details of location as follows:
Access to the Heritage Shipyard is through Gate 4, James Craig Road, Rozelle Bay, Rozelle. As I understand it, there is parking around the area - it seems the main parking area has been taken up by material ready for the upcoming Boat Show. Please use your brains in deciding an appropriate place to park!






As has been stated before, you will be entering a working wharf/workshop area - there is a very real possibility of injury if you are not fully aware of your surroundings - so please take care!
No responsibility will be taken by the organisers of this weekend (including myself) for any damage to you or your property while participating at this event!
You may need to be issued with a hard hat (not sure at this stage). You will certainly need enclosed footware, trousers (pref jeans or similar) and sensible shirt. Be prepared for your clothing to get a little soiled (or a lot, depending how much you 'really want the shot'!).

Also - anyone still not sure how they;re getting there, please reply in this thread so we can sort you out

[fozzie]

sheepie,

I have read and printed your post.

Help: I need a lift from Formule1 Enfield, Stratfield South to venue.

I am also willing to organise a taxi to someone's place to catch a ride.

I can pick you up at the F1 and drop you off at Belmore station and you hop on the train to the venue, any train station nearby that venue sheepie?

Hi Fozzie - if no-one else is going past there on their way in, I'll pick you up. But I am hoping someone else is closer? Anyone?

Can U pick him up at my base sheepie? and heading to the venue.

Fozzie,

I think I saw Deb (HappyPhotographer) offering people a ride from Formula 1 to the Lavender Bay walk... If that is still an option, then she could drop you off in the City and either I could pick you up or it would be a very short cab ride to Glebe... Call me on 04II-I96946 if you need a lift... I will be picking up Krystian on the north side at 8:15 and could pick you up in the City at 8:30...

Krystian... Please PM me your address so that I can pick you up on Sat. Morning...

[sheepie]

Can U pick him up at my base sheepie? and heading to the venue.

Thanks Birddog - but if it comes to that I might as well pick him up from the motel.
At this stage, Deb's offer combined with Leek may be the best option. Let's see what eventuates - we'll sort it out

[HappyFotographer]

As long as numbers fit I can do this. I was planning on shooting straight past there anyway so can drop him just about on the doorstep. Let me try and finalise numbers.

At this stage it looks like a goer for Fozzie to come with me. He might get there a tad early, but I am sure he can amuse himself until everyone gets there.

Deb

My head is still spinning from all the possible moves. We will probably be stopped by authorities as possible drug runners

So you will collect me and others from Formule1 at 8am Saturday morning

That's my plan, until someone tells me I've got it all wrong.

Deb

[leek]

OK... Fozzie... If Deb has a prob, or needs to drop you somewhere in the city, then you have my mobile number and I'm more than willing to pick you up... Just give me a little notice...

[sheepie]

OK - looks like we have a plan!

Getting back afterwards won't be a problem either

Looks like no-one else is looking for rides, so let's have a good time tomorrow morning

[fozzie]

leek,

Thank you for backup support in case Deb strikes a problem, with prior notice noted. Your mobile # is locked in. BTW: I am booked into the afternoon 'Mini Meet' at Birddog's

[Hlop]

Just a copy of my PM to Leon (Sheepie):

Unfortunately I have to pull ourselves out I have job to be done Saturday morning I just hope I'll mange to finish it before afternoon meeting at Birddog's

Sorry about that,
Mikhail

Hi all - as I mentioned on the day of the Heritage Workshops visit, it is my intention to gather people's best shots from the day and send them in for the Trust's use.
Can each of those who participated please take the time to select some of your best work from the day, and send to me by email - ideally, your exif data will include your name so they can properly identify you

I'll collate these and prepare a cd of them for presentation.
I understand if you don't want to do this, but remember the hospitality we enjoyed was all for no fee - so I think this is the least we can do.

Thanks all

[sheepie]

Sorry - forgot to mention the format:

Please send largest size jpg's you're comfortable with submitting. Compression should give as high quality as possible - either 9 or 10 I think it is. Please try to remember to convert (if required) to RGB colour space.

Might pay to send each file seperately unless you're able to give me a location to download from

thanks again!

[sheepie]

*** bump ***

(in case anyone missed this, please see previous two messages in this thread)

thanks all!

[leek]

Sorry Leon... I did see the previous message and should have responded...

Just a thought, but might it be better to get a few prints framed for them instead of a CD???

They didn't look like the sort of people who'd be terribly familiar with a CD or a computer - if you know what I mean... It might cost a little bit more, but I think it would be worthwhile to build a relationship with them...

Either way, I'll prepare some of my better shots and post them up on smugmug for you to download at your leisure...

Not a bad idea - I'll see what we end up with and may get some printed out.
Thanks

[leek]

OK - here's my top-5...
Available for download from smugmug at the full size for the next week only...
