Ok, since the initial "settling" period is almost over for my new born when's the next Sydney D70 Get Together???

I have been unlucky to miss the first 2 so am keen to get out and meet you guys and take a few photos.

Also a good time as there are now a few new members from Sydney who might be keen.

Any suggestions on dates / times / places???

Cheers,

W00DY

How does October 2nd sound? Too close?

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 10:43 am**

If I'm not mistaken, that's the Saturday of the long weekend. Is a Saturday better than a Sunday ?

What's the footy outlook for that weekend?

When we were at Ramsgate, a few people suggested Lane Cove National Park as a venue; thoughts y'all?

And yes, regardless of the day, afternoon, methinks.

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 10:45 am**

I was saying the saturday as I have to work the Sunday..for 12 hours too so I'd definately not be able to make it if it's a Sunday (the 3rd)..as far as football..I don't follow footy so I don't give a stuff..hehe. For me, the 17th is the next Sunday I'd be free, but that's only me. I just would love to be at the next meet.

That's why I was asking, as Leigh works on Saturdays, although if this is during his mid term break, he mightn't mind too much losing a few $$$.

Hell, who knows; if I'm feeling really energetic, I might even wander down to the fish markets one Saturday and buy some fish and make some sushi; it's been far too long since I last did that.

Hi all - Saturday suits me best, as the footy's on Sunday (!).

Lane Cove would be great

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 2:39 pm**

Lane Cove is a great location... not too far for me... so I might even be granted a day release :shock:

Are you on weekend detention?be good and you'll be granted!!!!!

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 4:39 pm**

Saturdays are good for me until the footy finishes

If we are going for the 2nd then the grand final is on the Sunday 3rd of October and then the Monday is a public holiday.

The 2nd is fine with me and Lane Cove is very good, quick trip down the M2 and I'm there

Not quite... but currently doing renovation things at home making any non-house related activities unfavourable with 'er indoors'.

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 11:27 pm**

Mj, just mention that this may be your one and only chance to meet the famous Birddog, Gary, etc. Of course that wont work again next month!

Posted: **Tue Sep 21, 2004 11:33 pm**

True Glen,

mmm... but then maybe if I only mention one 'famous' forum member each month... what's the count of members now??? :wink:

Posted: **Wed Sep 22, 2004 1:47 am**

Smart thinking Mj. Just tell her its Helmut Newton this month and he is going to show you how to make her look like one of his models.

Or mate just tell her you are going to Bunnings Artarmon where any good renovator spends half his weekend. She wont know the difference (and we can pick you by your overalls)

Posted: **Wed Sep 22, 2004 2:47 pm**

I like the Helmut angle... but I'll keep it for when I buy some nice studio lighting setup

Posted: **Mon Sep 27, 2004 4:04 pm**

So are we doing this at Lane Cove this weekend?

I am available on the Saturday (Sunday is a no go as the Grand Final is on).

Who else is keen???

Posted: **Mon Sep 27, 2004 4:22 pm**

Woody,

Yes. This Saturday afternoon, Lane Cove National Park.

Who knows their way around the park and can suggest a suitable meeting/picnic/bbq location?

And that all important facet - what time, peoples? 2pm ??

Cool. Looking forward to it. Anytime in the afternoon is fine with me, 2pm sounds good.

I am not to familar with the park however I believe if you follow the round around the hill there are some picninc spots which are a little out of the way. Not sure how good they are though.

Posted: **Tue Sep 28, 2004 11:10 pm**

Saturday is OK for me too. PM is better that way i can cut some grass in the morning.

Have to work all day and night Sunday.

2pm is good too.

Hahahaha... you're funny.

Posted: **Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:42 pm**

Sigh,

It's looking likely that I'll be stuck in the garden of hell on Saturday and no suggestion of an urgent trip to the hardware is going to provide a reprieve!!!

If by some miracle I can get away, where do you think you'll all be hiding???

Mj wrote:If by some miracle I can get away, where do you think you'll all be hiding???

It's been years since I've been to Lane Cove Park. I seem to recall that I may have even had a Mini Moke in those days, which makes it around 30 years ago.

That's a long way of saying that I haven't got a clue, but my mobile number is 0400 817 042 and you'll be able to call me on that number if, percahnce, you become misplaced within the park.

Posted: **Thu Sep 30, 2004 4:22 pm**

With the construction going on next to the park I believe there is only one entrance / Exit... Which also means there is only one road in and out.

If you drive in and follow the road aroudn the hill you will see different picnic spots along the river. Why don't we plan to meet at the first one (if it is not taken).

SOunds good. I'll be there.

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2004 7:36 am**

Weatherman forecast: rain to heavy rain tomorrow thru Tuesday!
What're we going to do?
Hope it's not!!!! It's long week-end and we all need to practice our hand & cam.

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2004 9:08 am**

Birddog, they predict rain in the morning mainly on Saturday, so hopefully we will be ok. Am trying to make it there, have a few family commitments.

This is down near the corner of Lady Game Drive and Deli Rd. The entrance is on Lady Game Drive.

HOWEVER.... Unfortunatly I have pulled all the muscles in my neck last night and at the moment am unable to move my neck, so my attendance is not looking good

I WILL make it to one of these meets one day though

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2004 10:50 am**

Woody, we promise not to laugh if you are wearing a neck brace

hope you feel better soon, maybe go see a swedish masseuse today

Problem is I can't drive.... well not safely anyway

Swedish Masseuse, hmmmmm....

Ok... well forecast is for clearing skies tommorow so with a bit of luck lane cove park is still a possibility... with a little luck I hope to happen to be passing by that way and will assume some of you will be about some time after 2pm... of course if noah's flood is still upon us I'll assume it's all off !!!

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 7:18 am**

Just look up the skies from my windows, very low ceiling and still light rain, wet!!! Don't expect any clearing untl late today or tomorrow.
I don't think I'll get there with this weather.

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 7:27 am**

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 10:28 am**

If it's still raining i won't be there. But if it's clear then i will do a drive-by to see if anyone is milling around.

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 12:00 pm**

sorry all - i'm not going to make it

see you next time maybe

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 1:15 pm**

12:15pm - overcast but there's been no rain for quite a while. I'm in Castlecrag at the moment, so it's not too far from the park, but if the weather holds as it is right now, should be great lighting for people pix.

Posted: **Sat Oct 02, 2004 1:49 pm**

12:55pm - I will be attending.. c whoever there

We have, although at this time too few members have signed up to this to make it worth my while emailing through this facility.

Consider yourself reminded (when she slaps you... or tells you I told her to).
