I need to close the mini meet at 12:00 sharp due to other commitments in the afternoon.

Member who wish to collect pure methanol, it's free (substitution of Eclispe fluid) requires to bring your own container, maximum 100ml will be provided for each member.

It's flammable and play with your own risk.

I heard a "rumour" that you are now closing at 12pm sharp because you have to rush over to the Canon IS club.

I have trouble getting out of bed when Dad yells at me to get up at 8.30 am just to make it late to the meets.

What make you guy hardly get out of bed earlier?

What make you guy hardly get out of bed earlier?

Late nights I rarely get to bed before 12:30 weeknights. Friday & Saturday nights I tend to crash even later. Ideally I get out of bed around 10:00 Sat & Sun (wake up earlier though & doze - makes me tired just thinking about it)

I'll be bringing around tools for cutting mattes (for framing pics) if anyone is interested (and as long as Birddog doesn't mind!). I'll have a few offcuts of matte board for people to try out their skills.
If anyone wants to cut a proper matte for one of their prints, you can get matte board from those Riot Craft shops that are in Westfield centres - their price is OK (not that good, but not that bad either!). You'll also need to get foam-core for the backing (from the same place).

Sheepie,
Not to worry, just bring em in and let the gurus play around with.
