SE-QLD Forum GTG BBQ - First Weekend in July

[RufflyRustic]

Come one Come all!! :hapy: It's time for another Forum Get ToGether! :yippy: PrimeMover and Mrs PrimeMover are hosting a Forum GTG on Saturday, 3rd July 2010.

Hamburger BBQ lunch wil be provided and it will be up to us to bring a plate of salad or nibbles or alcohol or drinks or dessert. Oh and don't forget a little something for the lucky door prize pool, if you are so inclined:)

Arrival time is 10 am at the earliest.

There is heaps of parking space, heaps of room to roam around and heaps of eye candy in the form of beautiful surrounds as well.

So, who's in?:U

Cheers
Wendy in conjunction with Phil, PrimeMover:2tsup:

[wheelinround]

QLD has all the fun :2tsup:

Is this to be held in Toowoomba

[dai sensei]

Count me in, where ever it is :U

Another winter's BBQ in Toowoomba :? :cold:

[RufflyRustic]

Oh No, nonononono, :no: not Toowoomba, too cold!!!! :brr:

It's in the Gold Coast area! West of Beenleigh. Much warmer :yes::U

[STAR]

---------------

No doubt Prime will post details but it is at Chambers Flat, which is as Wendy said west of Beenleigh.

For those coming from the Gold Coast turn off at Beenleigh and head to Waterford etc. For those from Brisbane, you are on your own as I have no idea but that is what Refidex's are for, or for our more upmarket members check your Tom Tom's.

I'll unfortunately have to pass on this one, my son turns 21 that day.

Enjoy the day,
Derek

[Wizened of Oz]

Okay. I'm in. I'll bring an adjustable shooting board for door prize (again) and a cake for the dessert trough.

[STAR]

Count me in. No Pecan Pie this time as my daughter will be in Bali then.

So looks like it will have to be a Macadamia Pie.

[Prime mover]

No :D come along. Phil

[dai sensei]

Do we need to bring any chairs Phil?

[Prime mover]

[RETIRED]

Y'all have a good day now.:D

Here you are, . Baked specially for your 60th Birthday (even though you are 2000 km away), and ( from left) Munruben, gawdelpus and Star about to enjoy it--after a jolly rendition of "Happy "Birthday".

[dai sensei]

Yep the LM pie was fantastic as usual. We did think of you whilst getting stuck into it :rolleyes::U

Hats off to Phil and his wife, great lunch and set-up. Had to keep moving the chairs to ensure we stayed in the sun with all the trees around, but was a perfect day without any clouds, surprising considering the cloudy wet start we had at 7am.

Phil had a display of his intricate wooden toys and also gave us the usual shed tour demonstrating his router set-ups, 3 of them to save changing bits.

Thanks again for a great day :2tsup:

Cheers

[watson]

Beaut pic....I love a Pritikin dieters' get-to-gether. :rotfl:

[Wizened of Oz]

Thank you Phil (Prime Mover) and your wonderful wife Leanne for hosting us in such congenial surrounds. Enjoyed the day immensely. Good food, good company, good conversation. Pleased to look at your workshop and all the toys under construction and completed.
Special thanks for the toy plans I got in the door prize draw.

BTW I tumbled to the identiy of that tree with all the berries. It's Broadleaf Privet, a weed species, unfortunately.

Some photos to prove it actually happened. In the group photo, clockwise from far left, Star, Prime Mover, Ian (Big Splinter's FIL-to-be), Big Splinter, gawdelpus, dai sensei, Munruben. Fishflog and wife were later arrivals.
It was a glorious sunny winter's day, but a bit chilly in the shade. Prime Mover and Leanne have this 17 acres on the southern outskirts of Brisbane, nice shady trees around the house, but we kept moving our chairs into patches of sunlight. Eventually we moved out into the horse paddock.

[munruben]

Yes it was a lovely day and we were looked after admirably by the hosts, Phil and Leanne. Thanks for having us guys, It was a great day.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I actually thought of you lot today as we had a gathering of the family here to celebrate my daughters birthday (29th June), my mothers birthday (30th June) and mine (2nd July) and it was raining.

My thoughts were you lot were probably in short sleeves whilst we had heaters going.:D

Thank you for the thought Wizened,

[artme]

:C:C:C Couldn't make it!! Back problems an a trip to the physio. All taped up and several return visits in the offing.

Glad you all had a great day>:):):)

[Big Splinter]

Thank you so much to Phil and Leanne. We had a great day.

It was great to catch up with old friends, familiar faces and a couple of new ones.

Looking forward to the next one.

Cheers
Tom
PS thank you from Ian too.

[RufflyRustic]

So glad you all had a wonderful & warm day! :2tsup: It was a chilly 18 degrees in my office and 8 degrees inside the house when I got home :cold:


Cheers

Hang on whats this heater on the table track suits and flannies this isn't sunny QLD is it. :U

[Prime mover]

You have a keen eye Ray. Heater is for night time BBQ's. Gives off a nice ambient light thats all we use it for. Phil. :D:no:****

[weisyboy]

thats not a heater its a food warmer.:2tsup:

[wheelinround]

Still no photo's of toys trucks being made :U

[fishflog]

Gday Phil & Leanne,

Thanks again for the tour of your toyshop & your generous hospitality, once again I apologise for being late. Cheryl & I really enjoyed ourselves. It was great to meet some of the other forumites, put faces to names & see some of their great work in the flesh.


Cheers,

Brian & Cheryl B

[Wizened of Oz]

Still no photo's of toys trucks being made :U

My fault. And I owe an apology to our hosts, Phil And Leanne.
When I got home I realised that I had the only camera there and hadn't taken any informative photos. Very slack of me.
But go to Phil's website (http://www.enjoymakingwoodentoys.com/) and see his gallery and the list of his plans he sells.

No mention of shed, tools etc :roll::q

On the contrary, Ray. Now if Wendy (Ruffly Rustic) had been able to attend there would have been a comprehensive report. However you are in the hands of this old f***.
We didn't just eat and tell lies. We also had a good look at Phil's workshop, saw lots of WIP and his gallery of finished toys. He showed us a simple way to make wooden-spoked wheels and we had a long discussion and threw about ideas for making wire-spoked ones.

See Brian you old Frts can do a report with out being good looking like RR :U I will admit Wendy's would have lots more oooohhhs and ahhhh's in the report though :;

[RufflyRustic]

what is even funnier, is that I reckon I could write the report without having been there!! :D and it would have been over 90% accurate except for the converstion topics...:rolleyes::q:;:U:D
