    Default Melbourne FGT - OCTOBER 2016

    Mark Sunday 23 October in your calendars. We will start mid to late morning and go into the afternoon. details of timing and so forth will be provided when we work it out. At this stage it is just a date claimer.

    My shed is at Hoppers Crossing.

    Cheers

    I was about to announce the date just as Gab put his hand up to do today's one. I thought it best not to post anything about mine until his was over to avoid any confusion.

    Congrats to Gab on a successful day.

    Diary date noted.

    As this is close to Geelong, it would be great if all the Geelong and surrounds members came as well. Although it's called Melbourne GTG all forum members are welcome.

    23rd Of October it is then. I have a sister that lives up that way so I'll make arrangements for the kids to spend the day with her and I make an effort to show my face and get to another gathering...it has been a long time since I attended one of these.

    Unfortunately, I'll have to give this one a miss as I'm house/cat sitting during this period. I'll keep an eye out on the November GTG.

    Looks like I will have to delay my departure a little to attend, but that is not really critical, so count me in

    I might just start a list of participants before the thread gets too long to manage the task easily, then I only have to scroll back to the most recent list and add in others as they indicate their intentions to attend.

    So far we have:

    Doug3030 and Jools
    Kevjed
    Daisensai
    Simplicity and Sally

    Anyone else?

    Cheers

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I haven't seen them either. They always say they will turn up but they never do.

    Anyway, the list now is expanded to:

    Doug3030 and Jools
    Kevjed
    Daisensai
    Simplicity and Sally
    Bohdan

    AND OF COURSE just for Simplicity:


    Anyone Else


    Cheers

    For all those who are interested in the Melbourne Get-Togethers and specifically raising awareness of them on the forum:

    Have a look at my signature below. This has changed my signature on every post I have ever made on the forums. People reading any of my posts since I joined will see THAT signature - not the one I was using at the time.

    This is over 2000 billboards now out there promoting the October GTG.

    If others could use their own words in their own signatures to promote the event then we would suddenly have thousands more bilboards out there in other parts of the forum where I do not post.

    Then after my event, we spend a minute or two updating our signatures to promote the next event.

    Just a thought. Lets make sure that everyone on the forum can find the thread if they want to.

    Cheers

    Doug

    LOL Doug, perhaps it was your last signature which was preventing people wanting to have anything to do with anything in Melbourne!!!!

    Heya Doug. ... I have it penciled in, and hopefully I can make it but it's the day after josh's first birthday so I may be nursing his hangover (I'm sure he will be fine by the afternoon so I can disappear for a few hours though)..

    Can't wait! !
