Sorry Surenj, I am not sure if I will get much of a chance, I will be at work all day on Saturday the 21st, and will be headed away for a short trip on the 22nd. I'll try but I hope that I wont let down the team

Surenj (et al.), Seeing as I have not 1 but 2x 50mm lenses, I feel obligated ask you to add me firmly to the "tentative" list. Thanks!

Photopotamus, consider yourself added!
Mozzie, Thanks and we will definitely take you up on that offer! We will see how many are attending and how we can contribute.

I am an idiot...I work on Saturdays...and cause I am going to have pretty much the rest of the week off I better not ask for that day off as well.

Grrr... Sorry I have to pull out of this one! I have been forced to work on this day. Gerry, perhaps you can take over and organise this one. You will need to recruit at least one more person so that there is someone other than you so that it could be called a mini meet! have sent PM *edit* I forgot that photopotamus is attending. so you won't be alone!

not sure if this is still going ahead but if you guys are wandering around Centennial park, then the offer of free food and grog still stands. I am intending on having a picnic near Musgrave pond (G5 on the map on the website).
So if you are nifty fiftying then come say hi and grab some food. (Or if you want to come JUST for the food then you are welcome to that too)
my mob's 0432279561.... call if you get lost

lol, ok how many do we need to classify as a minimeet? Can we get a show of hands on who is 90% likely to turn up to this? After discussion with suren the otehr week i reckon meeting around the 9am or even early would be better, that will get the better part of the day and not flow onto a whole day affair. If your short on time, drop round for a couple of hours only... Otherwise if numbers dwindle any more (ie it'll be me by me lonesome) I will just go out any old place with the 50mm to strike a blow for freedom for the sydney side!

Gerry, I'm still in... I might turn up a little after 9, but I'll PM you my number in case details change before then!
