Melbourne APUG get-together!

[Poisson Du Jour]

Wow! Ten peeps! Is that a record, with possibly more to tag along?
Marc, maybe Christine can sink the Doc Martins in for a robust start to the most important day of the year?
Has anybody got a barbie, or should I go and shop for one? The one-tonne behemoth upstairs here does not count as "portable"!
We could whip up some bangers and chops for lunch. Any interest?

I say an early start to NooJee as I go up there for bike rides often. I have a Weber smokey Joe if the car is running I could bring.

Folks always say "oh, I missed that one" after these events, so I've proactively pm-ed a dozen other Melbourne APUG-ers (does a dozen count as spam?) to let them know about this thread!

Without being too 'organised' - maybe it'd be good to have a vague schedule in mind (like "meet-up and introduce ourselves", "go make some photos", "break for lunch and chatting", "make some more photos", "disperse") if only so we don't all just stand around doing nothing at all, as we are at times prone to!!

Marc!

if you want to change the day I'll come along - it's same day as the Melbourne Photo Market at Box Hill Town Hall, and I don't want to miss out on any goodies...

[w9cae]

Well I will have to decline if the Photo market is the same day. MCC has a ton of stuff they want me to sell

Or we change to a Saturday ?

BTW car is back

...it's same day as the Melbourne Photo Market at Box Hill Town Hall,...

And there's another date which sneaks up on us without any warning, before you know it it's gone, and you're left lamenting "I didn't know it was on..."

Philosophically speaking, it's probably better to take photo's with what you have than to buy more camera gear.

Definitely don't want to miss the market again - for once it doesn't clash with the historic car racing at Phillip Island (which is the weekend before).

[munz6869]

I like going to the Box Hill market too - with great self-restraint I actually haven't bought anything at one for some years... and it's not as if I don't "need" anything (ha!)

ANYWAYS - how about Sunday March 25th then? (The following week)

Marc!

25th good for me.
