Would anyone be interested in a get together near Toowoomba (Qld)?
It'd be an opportunity to show off, and learn some new stuff.
And it won't be just for turners!

If it is on Ivan's swap meet weekend coming up, sorry I'm busy, but another weekend would be Ok
I was thinking a Saturday or a Sunday Afternoon.
Not necessarily on the swap meet weekend.
Funky C,
Yep,
I'm in for that.
I'm hoping to do the Toowoomba Swap Meet,
this weekend; ALREADY:oo:
Also on the 'ToDo' list is
the Woodworking Show in Brisvagas
and
the Gold Coast GTG if there are "A Number" going from Toowoomba area to it.
One Good Turn deserves Another Good Turn
Alrighty!
Come on fellas, sign up!
We have:
- Captain Funky Chicken
- Sir Ivan in Oz
RufflyRustic, I'm looking at you :D....
Ruffly "MIGHT" have some more nice Jarrah :2tsup:
[or whatever it is]:?
which she might let be turned.:o:no:
eH? Wendy:;:;
Though the Day has to suit.
Alrighty, We have:
Come on forumites, one more person and this thing is Go!
- Captain Funky Chicken
- Sir Ivan in Oz
- Lady Ruffly of Rustic (hopefully)
Also... There's a question of where... Cause we could hold it at my joint but it's a little small and grubby. (one day I'll get a shed:doh:)
My lathe is moveable (45kg) so it's not restricted to my workshop
Funky C
So what weekend are we talking about?Quote:

Sorry Funky C just read your posts properly. Didn't mean to butt in on your offer to host.

I'm a possible, if not called in to work on the day, have enough petrol and manage to fight off shyness:p (and being female, if I am able to navigate there :D)Be nice to put faces to names.

My vote is for late March, but I'm open to other dates, I quite like the trips to Toowoomba.
My only hold back is I have 2 uncles on death beds (cancer :C) so I am on call for support duties and funeral arrangements.
Not any more!!Quote:

You guys suggest a date! And Saturday or Sunday arvo???
For me,
NOT the 23rd.
Prefer March..............
Might be "On Call" but No MATTER;
we all the time Swap our Call-Out Weeks to suit ourselves.
We work out the CALL-OUT Swap,
Email the Bosses concerned with the change,
AND also
everyone on Site.:2tsup:
Sorry but I'd have to say Feb is almost all out for me, I'm busy trying to make the slabing rig for the slabbing demo at my BBQ on the 24 Feb, and cleaning up the shed of course. Happy to do something for your birthday at my BBQ though.
Hi F.C. I'm back, and I'm a Definite :D
I'm busy the 16 February and 23 February weekends
cheers

Funky C

The 8th is my day at the animal hospital cleaning up after the koalas. Have you ever tried cleaning up after them when they're hanging round your neck - it's not easy I'll tell ya. Considering how much i get paid, nothing, I'll take that day off. I was thinking - it's been many years since I was scratching out a living at it but I can show some production turning methods if you'd all be interested.Quote:

Having it at my place is starting to look slightly doubtful - The place is crammed full of junk:doh: (my dad's part of the workshop, that is)
Funky C
I'm afraid I have over committed for a few weekends so I can no longer attend.
Hope you have a good day
Ray

Is there anything you would have me [us] bring?
Hmm, a bit further out past Toowoomba than I thought. Definately wouldn't get there till 11am (and that's assuming I don't get lost :-)
So is it all still a go for next weekend FunckyChicken? I'm thinking of trying to make a weekend out of it and stay in Toowoomba Sat night.
A tool or skill... I wouldn't mind a peek at an HNT Gordon or LN plane if ayone's got one:rolleyes:Quote:

nah,
That would mean the Tritons, might be a bit much Transport wise:(
I could bring the Gifkin without the Extras:?
If someone has a LN they could bring,
which I could Grovel over,
that'd be.........................Embarrassingly NICE:D
