Australia Day weekend 2014, after some deliberation I am putting forward that the Jerilderie Jaunt wood workers weekend might come forward to the above long weekend.
As mentioned earlier the Letter Event Committee has postponed the Ned Kelly thing to Easter 2015. By coming forward 2 weeks back into January it may make it easier for those with kids if they want to bring them along also.
For those who don't have the luxury of retirement or flexible work schedule etc the long weekend may be a better option also. I have discussed this with a few who have shown interest and it seems to suit the majority.
There will be fireworks Sunday night too
Look forward to further feed back. I will likely approach the moderators in the next week to change the title of this thread accordingly
regards
Dave
As mentioned below, Tea Lady now a definite
Australia day weekend would be great. Make me a definite now. :cool:
At the Melbourne show and a few are talking about coming to the gtg next year
First post has been updated
Thanks to all those interested this far
:2tsup:
Christmas is around the corner and next thing we'll be in the new year.
Why hey not make this your first wood & forum event for 2014
OK guys and gals, blokes and sheilas and anyone else I've left out ... the time approaches. Here is the plan.
This one is my first so will be a bit 'rough' and a serve as a basis to build bigger and better.
At this point in time I believe 043turning will be here with supplies and timber timber blanks
Jim said it would be too small, I will have further talks with Neil from Ubeaut to see if he wants to come or send any supplies up for those who may want them. With a possibility that 'may' be here it might work out for him to bring some Ubeaut stuff up if Neil does not come. That is just an idea and I have not confirmed it with any parties.
If the event has less than 40 people I will probably hold it at my house which is on 1500 m2. There are some areas under cover and a good lawn area.
If held at my place food will be BBQ, sandwiches and the like. A night at the chinese could be done and one night will be at the lake for fireworks for those interested.
Coffee and tea will be on tap and I will have a supply of bottled water and other drinks (donations for such appreciated)
Feel free to bring food to throw into the stockpile and drinks (I prefer no alcohol as we are working with tools, if you want to go down the pub or like in the evening that is up to each individual)
Accommodation available as per earlier posts. There may be room for some to bunk or camp here, there is free camping at the creek.
Partners and children welcome, the town pool is open during certain hours and there is a swimming hole down the creek. I have 3 young children so there are swings and trampoline here too.
What to bring
Smile Good attitude Tools Timber Portable shade leads and power boards
Any questions just ask
Dave, have you decided if this is only one day or two?
What happens for meals. Is there anywhere for breakfast? I guess lunch is no issue.
If two days how is the evening meal to be dealt with?
I believe Monday is the public holiday.Quote:

Breakfast - for those staying at my house or who come early I will have a range of cereals, toast etc. Some may stay at a motel and choose to have breakfast there - up to them.
Lunch - there are a few takeaways and a bakery in walking distance. Again I will have bread and some limited supplies for sandwiches. If people let me know what they want for lunch I may look at having more onsite. BBQ facilities will be here also.
Tea
Friday - BBQ
Saturday - Chinese for those interested otherwise other take away or BBQ etc. I'm looking at seeing if the Chinese will put on an all you can eat so numbers for those interested would assist.
Sunday - at the lake, for any who do not wish to go to the lake self serve leftovers or other take away.
For this 1st event there will be no cover charge. Any donations monetary or otherwise will be appreciated but not demanded
Monday packing up at people's leisure breakfast available and no doubt lunch for anyone still here.
Ps. Thanks for bringing the lathe down for me Chris, I did not get to catch up with you at Brett's.

Hi Dave,
Put me down as a maybe. It is the last weekend of my holiday. If I get through everything I have planned in time I could well be looking for something to do for the long weekend before going back to work
Cheers
Doug
No worries Doug. Hope it works for you to come
Dave
The Turning Cowboy
With 2 weeks to go, whats happening?
Cheers
Doug
Thanks Doug
Yes it is a go. Was just on the phone last night to repliconics aka Trevor. He is coming sat / sun as he has other responsibilities that can't afford him any more time than that.
I will update the list later today.
If anyone wants to bring along some portable shade or shade sale and ropes etc that would be good.
Dave

I may have to pull the pin on this. I have had a few scans and have to go into hospital on Tuesday for a day, nothing definite yet and I will know more later in the week.
Ok. Hope all goes well. Would still love to see you if you. An make it. Either way did you chance the booking at the b&b from fen to jan?Quote:

Back story is I complained of pain in my shoulders and as a side issue they found a foreign growth in my chest. It has gone no further than that at moment but I suspect I am going to be doing a lot of talking to doctors from this week on. They still haven't found out why the pain is in the shoulders, we'll get back to that when we sort out the chest issue.
Chris, they could find out that you have a heart :q
Hi Chris,
I hope it turns out to be something not at all serious. Good luck mate
DOug
Pat - are you coming, Bret was talking about possibly getting a bus organised. Must get in touch and find out.Quote:

Dave,
Sorry for the late RSVP, I had not realised things had come around so quickly. Illness at the moment will prevent me traveling to make it, which is a bugger as it looks like it will be a great get together:2tsup:.
Have fun.
Cheers,
Camo
We'll be leaving shortly.
Here is an update accurate to the best of my knowledge.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/24/y2use7ag.jpg
To those that have had to pull out I hope you have a good weekend whatever you are doing. A number have had health issues and or other matters out of their control.
Keep well

Move me over to appologies Dave. Just couldn't swing it. A bit too close to my big trip over Xmas i'm afraid. :C
Have fun, don't let Mr Furniture near any sharp things and post plenty of photos. Videos would be good too. :)
Please accept my apologies too Dave, just couldn't do the drive that far, the way things are at present.
I'm very disappointed as I was hoping things would have got better quicker, [even missed an old Navy mates ''wake'' in Wodonga a fortnight ago].
PLEASE, could we have a heap of photos, thank you.
Have a beaut time gents & ladies all.
Cheers, crowie
Any reports or photos on how things are going so far?
Regrettably I had to pull out due to losing too much productive time to the extreme heat last week. I hope all that attend have a great time.
Cheers
Doug
