Adelaide Wood Show Dinner? 15/7/2006

[Ian007]

I was wondering would any of you guys like to do a Dinner Meet & Greet on the Saturday of the Working With Wood Show?

The date will be Saturday 15th July 2006

I was thinking that we could go somewhere in the City, but I dont know where, that way its kind of central for everyone.

Yes I know that may mean that some will not have any money because they spent the lot at the wood show,:eek:

But thats why I am asking this early so people could budget for it and save there money if they need too.

Also that way we could meet some of our fellow forum members that may be here working at the wood show if they want to meet us that is:o

Over too you

Cheers Ian:)

[javali]

Great idea. Count me in.

[Harry72]

Im bloody workin @#$%^&*()@! though I was off... but noooooo!
I gunna see if I cant get some shift swaps...

[Ian007]

Harry your not looking that well, is that a cough I hear?

I am lead to believe that Imawoodyandmustbethereitis has a long incubation period:D


Cheers Ian:)

[zenwood]

Hehe: real subtle Ian.:)

Count me in. I can see it now: sawdust covered woodies with all their new stuff doing a show and tell at Ayers House...

[oges]

I think the scrollers event i'll be over there for is having a dinner and meeting that night somewhere..

[Tex79]

Sounds great, count me in too. :)

Just got to figure out where to stash the trailer load of stuff I'm going to buy ;)

Cheers, Evan

[himzol]

:o I've organised a family ski trip for the week leading upto and including..DOH!

[Harry72]

Mate what were you thinkin!

[himzol]

Mate what were you thinkin!


Well, clearly I wasn't :eek:

I would claim temporary insanity but I don't think it's all that temporary. :D

Seriously though it would have cost me an extra $600 the following week of the school holidays, which is the only option I have of going because my son is in year 12 this year.

[woodbe]

We'll be at the snow too :(

Himzol, where are you going?

We're off to Falls. I usually have free time in the mornings (one kid with a disability) we could meet up and have a snow WW GTG :)

[Tex79]

Right-O Zen, here's what you were after!!
There's only 4 weeks till the EVENT! does anyone know any decent pubs where we can have a beer,feed and share stories of our days excitements and purchases?
SWMBO recomends the Duke of York, you can book in advance and they have a nice beer garden.
Any suggestions?

:D :D :D

[zenwood]

Thanks TeX. Happy with the DoY: I'm in. :(

[masoth]

Sorry Ian, I don't know how I missed your post - I did do a search before starting another thread. I don't think I could attend the M&D, but is it possible for attendees to gather at one place on each day at a given time? This way a face to face could achieved for some.;)

[zenwood]

I propose a twice-daily mustering opportunity at the Ubeaut stand at 10.30 and 3.30.

The cafe gets very crowded at those times, and it's hard to pick out people.

Wear your WWForum cap and your avatar name tag to aid recognition. The template is in here:

[Ian007]

Ok Then, after being missing in action for some time I am back.

I have taken on Evans Idea for the Duke of York and booked a table for Saturday 15/7/2006 for 20 people ( I can change this and add to or remove numbers as needed) I havent yet made a time. Any ideas??

The Duke of York is at 82 Currie Street in the city.

The price of meals is from $10.50 to $20.00 and there are the normal pub meals as well as daily specials. I was told that most meals are in the $13-$15 mark.

It would be good to see as many faces as we can get there.

Cheers Ian:)

[Tex79]

Nice work Ian, thanks for booking the table and gathering all the info.
You can count me in. I look forward to meeting you guys at the show.

Cheers, Evan

[Tankstand]

I havent yet made a time. Any ideas??

duke of york (http://www.dukeofyork.com.au/)

Happy hour ends at 7pm! I'll be ready for a feed after that!:D

Count me in Ian, I'll be there with bells on!;)

Are U, Beaut and Stoppers busy that night?

[Dangermouse]

Sounds good to me guys, I'll probably need a few beers after a day of hard shopping. See you there. :cool:

[zenwood]

Thanks Ian. Sounds good to me too.

[masoth]

Help an old gentleman out!

Mild mannered suggestion - is there enough interest by WWW attendees in this opportunity to buy and rail the timber to Adelaide?
I am iinterested in some but not all.:cool:

soth

[Harry72]

They definately serve JD'n'coke I'll definately be there!

[Ian007]

Bump

Any more takers?

[TrevorOwen]

Hi Ian

Count me in as well. Should be a lot to talk about after a day at the show.

Regards
Trevor

[Harry72]

[Christopha]

[Ian007]

[TrevorOwen]

Adelaide Show starts tomorrow but I won't be there until Saturday because of family responsibilities. Look forward to meeting up with many of you and having a real woody time. Will have to keep the strength up though to survive the night event as well.
See ya Saturday.

[Harry72]

Good, may need to chat with you Zen'1 about some darkside purchases!

[zenwood]

No worries, Harry. If you can't find me, I'll try and remember to go to the morning muster (http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showpost.php?p=325418&postcount=16) at the Ubeaut stand at 10.30.

[Studley 2436]

sorry to be so late raising my hand. Have had a bit going on getting all this timber sorted. I'll be there (where is it) but will hopefully manage to catch sight of a few of you at the WWW show on Saturday

Studley

[Ian007]

Hi Studley
The Duke of York is at 82 Currie Street in the city.
For a 7pm Dinner but you can get there early for a drink if you like.
See you there mate.

If anybody else wants to just show up then thats OK as I have some spare seats booked.;)

Looking forward to it.

Cheers Ian:)

[Harry72]

Well gotta say that was the best Beef Wellinton I've ever had!
(company was good to...)

[Gumby]

Remember the rules......post pics or it didn't happen :D

[zenwood]

Studley had his camera, and I know for a fact Ian007 was fiddling with it and took a lovely photo of my arm. So that proves my arm was there.

Thanks Ian for organising this. And good to catch up with some forum woodies.

[Ian007]

Remember the rules......post pics or it didn't happen :D

The offical photographer was Studley, so he has the pics.

I had a good time, there where some old and some new faces.

We had Neil aka U, Great to have a good yak with you thanks:D
Christopher aka Chris, looking forward to comapring puddleducks:)
Tikki aka Judi, Lovely as always:)
Studley aka Steve, know to be know as tight spot;)
Zenwood aka Drew, the brains & the poor bloke that had to suffer the cold blast of air up the hallway
Harry72 aka Paul, the muscles
Tankstand aka Mark, huggy bear
TrevorOwen aka Trevor, a true gentleman
Dangermouse aka Dave, lives only 10 min from me:D
Alix aka Allan, Nice bloke who happens to live in pirie with Harry
NickF aka Nino, who I wish I had a chance to talk to much more, next time hopefully
Tex 79 aka Evan & his old man Graeme aka Dad, very nice blokes I must say
and some Idiot named Ian007 aka Bart who had his daughter Aimee along to keep Judi in line:

I had booked for 20 but was a bit disapointed to see we where split over two seperate tables when we got there, this made it a bit hard to chat with some of the new blokes as much as I would have liked but I will endevor to have another meet & greet soon.

All in all a good time Thanks Guys and Girls for a great night.

Cheers Ian:)

[NickF]

Ian,

It was great to put some faces to names! A very pleasant evening spent with like minds.

Thanks for orgainising it.
Nino

[Tankstand]

Thanks again Ian,

I had an excellent time and we even sold 2 more pens! Thanks Trevor and Evan.

Shame Harry wasn't on the turps! :D

I didn't embarrass myself or anyone else did I?:rolleyes:

Note to self, must refrain from using techno babble in front of Studley!:D

Note to self again!, When ordering a plate of Wedges as an Entree, make sure they don't serve it to you 2 minutes before the main course!:rolleyes:

Great meeting the new faces, sorry I didn't get to have a yarn with you all.

[Tex79]

Hi Guys,

On behalf of the old man and I, I'd like to extent my thanks to Ian007 for organising the evening.
We had a great time meeting some of the other forumites and sharing many great ideas and experiences. Look forward to the next meet.

Cheers,

Evan and Graeme.:D

[Studley 2436]

I'll get some photos up tomorrow when I am back at work. It was a great night out and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Studley

[Tikki]

Thanks Ian ... good venue (even if it was a bit chilly around the ankles ;) ) good food and great company ... nice to meet some newbies too. Thanks Aimee for keeping an eye on me ;)

Cheers
Tikki :)

[Alix]

Ian,

Thanks for organising the dinner.

It was great to meet people and put faces to the names.

Looking forward to next year.

Allan

[Harry72]

No need to wait till next WWWshow Allan... there'll be plenty of meet ups before then!

[Gumby]

I'm sure I'm speaking on behalf of the rest of the forum when I say
Where's the pics !!!

[Studley 2436]

OK here are the pics to give you an idea who was a good and faithfull member and fronted up.

Studley

to update the first one is Ian007, Dangermouse Tankstand and could be Alix. They split the tables and I didn't get to meet him.

Next Tankstand Tikki Christopha and Neil Ubeaut

[Gumby]

(I've got a caption for that second pic - BOOM!!!) :eek:


And Judi, you have a serious problem :D :D

[Christopha]

who's who captions please :rolleyes:

(I've got a caption for that second pic - BOOM!!!) :eek:


And Judy, you have a serious problem :D :D

Tikki was NOT amused when she spotted piccy number 2!!! :D :D :D :D

[TrevorOwen]

Thanks Ian for organising the dinner. I enjoyed meeting up with new and old friends alike and the U beaut team. Alix, I had a look at your blackwood table and chairs and they are terrific. Thanks Tankstand for making such a beautiful pen and whenever I use it I will think of you, Ian and Gavin.
Now for some forward planning. I understand Studley has agreed to hold the Adelaide Meet and Greet No.6 and I will hold No.7. I think No. 7 could be around 25th November or 2nd December so that will give Studley time to finish off his wood distribution project and get organised. What do you think Studley?

Regards
Trevor

[Studley 2436]

Doing the timber has been not so bad Trevor. That is pretty much finished now for me. Timber for Adelaide and Melbourne is coming out almost as we speak. Sydney and Brisbane to follow. Guys down south got first go at it because the Mill wanted to look after ours first. When it gets to Adelaide we have to sort out individual delivery. We might be lucky to have Tankstand help us out there. So it is pretty smooth for me.

Anyway next meet and greet end of August early september should be good for me.

[Gumby]

Tikki was NOT amused when she spotted piccy number 2!!! :D :D :D :D

That gut is big enough to have it's own postcode ! :eek: :D

But I was also referring to Judi's lack of taste in T shirts :(

I wondered why he was getting the 'evil eye'.

Looks like Zenwood just came down from the ski fields :D

Share ? What do you mean ? There's enough there to sustain a struggling African nation for a week.

[Christopha]

My body is actually very sleek and beautifully maintained..... it's that bloody Studley and his shocking camera angles..... and I was so embarassed when Tankstand pulled up the front of my shirt that way.... I felt dirty! ;)

[ozwinner]

My god, what have I done.:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Al :o :p

[Alix]

Trevor, thanks for the compliment. I will try to get to one of the next Adelaide gettogethers.

Studley, I wish I was as young as that bloke in the picture you thought was me - it has been a long time since I looked that young.

Al, I bought a foilies cap at the woodshow and was looked at in a very funny way by Christopha until I mentioned your name as to why I wanted one. Christopha's look towards heaven was priceless.

Allan

[Neil]

Thanks for organising the night Ian I enjoyed myself as I'm sure, did all who attended. Great to see the forums bringing people together like this, would be wonderful to see a lot more of it.

Big family get together without the fights and bitchiness. Excellent.

Well done.

Cheers - Neil :)
