Damn, I missed this thread until kinda late. Any room left? I also fit into the 'rank amateur' category, so I'm eager to soak up some learning!

We now have 8 members registered for the workshop in including Matt and myself, what are we gonna to do? 6 is the limited.

Shoot two of 'em and throw them into the harbour. Or either run two groups concurrently, or host a second group a couple of weeks later. g.

Two groups would be a good sugestion. otherwise just the first 6 that replied... maybe I should check where I am before suggesting this

I think 6 is just to keep the groups small so we can get more out of the day. Andrew

Yep... the idea was to keep the number small so that learning could be maximised... maybe the answer might be to hold a couple of these days... of course that would depend on available of equipment and gurus !!!
Michael.
Speaking as number 8, I'm obviously keen to be in on the fun, but if it's too large a group we can split it up into two. We'd probably get a couple of repeats into the second group and have the same problem keeping the numbers down!

Matt, Birddog,
Any more info on this meet? Do we know times. places etc...??? Which members are in? Looking forward to it. W00DY Andrew

Seconded! Am I in? Trade someone a play with the Bigma if I can stick it on a decent tripod! PS. 100 posts! Woohoo! Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
Yeah, what's the official word on this meet? Do you all make our ways there or is there a meet before the meet? I would anticipate a shortage of parking around that area, carpool an idea?! Timeframe to start/end?
Would it be OK if we just dropped in for a little bit to say g'day and then left? We had planned to come up for the whole day, but now that we're giving in to lens lust (even if we can't make up our minds), dinner and an overnight in Sydney (well no point in going to dinner if you can't have a red) is a bit beyond the budget right now. We'd love to meet some of the members who've been so good to us, though.
HI All,
How's about the mini meet at my base in the morning at 8:00 am and we will discuss, how and where we're heading to in the afternoon?. train, bus, walk, creep, jump tatatatata!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VR club will re-open at 4:00am as usual! But no RED/ No booze this time, only soft drink and clear water same as coffee + green tea, cos we have to spare our energies for the afternoon. Morning session will cover, CCD cleaning, check gears, test gears etc... Light lunch provided. Members who are not going to attend in the afternoon session are also welcome into the morning mini-meet. Your thoughts Birddog114

Hi all... I've only just picked up on this thread. Looks like I've left it too late, but very keen to join in if a space becomes available. I don't have a Pringles lid
 but a nice 60mm D-series macro among others...
You're welcome for the morning session! the workshop in the afternoon maybe full, come along in the morning and we'll find out. Birddog114

I had planned to meet up with Glen before hand to go over CCD cleaning anyway so I don't mind meeting at Birddog's if that is what the majority vote on.
I have acquired a very rare all day AND night leave pass from all family duties so I am up for anything
I will also be driving so if anyone wants a lift form the Hills area or throughout the day let me know as I would be happy to play driver for the day (can fit 4 others in the car). Hopefully the weather holds out but I guess if we meet in one central place in the morning we can always adjust the plans as the day goes on. W00DY Andrew

Ok... looks like we are indeed on for the 8th (and a good thing as my wife's bday is the 9th). I'll certainly be there complete with pringles lid and jober as a sudge. Might not quite make the 4am start
 ... hoping a late entry at 5am will be forgiven!!!
Michael.
Are we invited for the Bday's party? and we're all qualified and free photogs  Birddog114
