I'm new here and I'm still waiting for my first DSLR to turn up
if it turns up in time I would love to join everyone for this get to together my wife works nights at the weekend and I look after my 10 & 12 year old boys... would my bringing the boys be out of place at this event thanks Keith
They are more than welcome - the picnic day is all about sharing with the family 
If they have Nintendo DS's make sure they bring them - there are several children (and older!) that have them around these woods  *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Again, depend on weather at that time.

It's an outdoor meet in conjuction with "our traditional pinic day". It can hold more members than at the mini meet and no restriction. Birddog114

If the weather is kind I will be there with a wife and at least two teenage kids (perhaps three). Sounds like a great day out!

This meet and pinic are on one day, welcome both of you and the last meet reservations counted toward this pinic. Due to my heavy busy in the coming months for both sides: here & in the US, so I don't know when will I have another mini meet at my base. Birddog114

my cousin lives in kingsgrove - almost had it rite - it looks about 1 hr there & 1 hr back & the shindig kicks off at 2 so its tight timewise. my cousin sed he may do it since he its good 4 his car 2 go on long drives.
Where am I
Not sure of Helen's work program at the moment, nor mine for that matter but will certainly be there if there is no clash with work.

Terry,
Should be good if you both can make it. And if you're town Wally, please try to let us know so that we can arrange some photo-ops for you. g.

pinic day out
Hi all,
Count me in (+Hubby). When and where are we meeting? Never been to the dam before. Also as I have never been to any club event what do we need to bring etc etc etc...  REE
We'd love to come
We've been out of action for a while, what with one thing and another, and my mother-in-law is currently visiting, but this sounds like a great opportunity to finally get back to a meet. Count us in (Michael and I, plus two non-participants - mother-in-law and son).
Looking forward to details re time, anything we should bring (food to share or are we bringing our own?) etc. Sorry if details are in an earlier post - I looked, but couldn't find one.
I may be in Melbourne due to work committments (which I'm trying to get out of). If I'm not in Melbourne, then I'll be down with my wife and 2 boys. Should be able to confirm by Tuesday at the latest.
Andrew
Sorry, I can't make this one.
 We have soccer registrations to do that day.
That's what happens when you're part of the committee. 
Have fun, it sounds like a great day out.
Is the meet still on?
If so, what are the details. Is there another thread I've missed? 
I need to hire a car so got to get that done in the next couple of days. Is it BYO food and drink? Matt
With 3 days to go, I was beginning to wonder the same thing... Where, When, What etc... Thanh, Are you going to make a call on this??? Matt... If it is still on... and if it's just the 2 of you, we can probably give you a lift down there... Just let me know where you live and we'll sort out a time for pickup when the details are decided... Cheers, John

It's still on - not sure of the final arrangements though - I think we're just meeting there in the morning and seeing what happens.
It's really just a gathering as far as I know. Nothing special planned. The park opens at 10am - I'm intending to be there by then. Yes, definately bring your own food, etc. *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Guys
Yes it's still on. Just in case you haven't read the original thread where we discussed the location for this event, the idea is we will all be meeting at Cataract Dam and bringing our own food. As you can see from this link that Andrew posted earlier in the thread, and as Leon says, the Dam doesn't open until 10:00 am. I suggest we all meet at 10:30 am at the picnic grounds. We have some big D70Users.com banners we'll put up so you can find us even if you haven't met us face to face. Peter

Matt, I've just been informed that mini-Leek needs to go to swimming lessons at 8:30am on Sat morning. I would therefore not be able to pick you up until about 9:45-10:00... Should get to Cataract by 11... Let me know if you need a lift... Cheers, John

Make sure miniLeek has the DS - it will be a DS-a-thon *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
John, Many thanks for the offer mate, but I think Sam and I are going to make a weekend of it and go down to Kiama after the meet. Plans are very much in the bosses hands at the mo but I'll graciously decline. Many thanks again John. Matt
NO problems... but I think the only game she has that's networkable is NintenDogs... Cheers, John

I'll bring my neglected Lab puppy Miles, Leek.
