    Default Get together/swap meet

    Ok Midge's get together was a huge success but I missed it:mad:. I think we have at least one more chance to get together before Xmas. I also have a small spare cyclone (see pic) and the odd pen, perfume sprayer and other odds and ends (someone may want for Xmas presents) I want to get rid off. I prefer not to sell my stuf, so I thought, what about a swap meet.

    My place is on the Gold Coast in Nerang. It may be in the suburbs, but I have a BBQ area and a pool for those of you who may want a dip. It's QLD after all and it's bound to be hot .

    Sunday 6 November - I'll provide the meat and the heat, for the BBQ that is , you provide anything else you may want.

    If you have nothing to swap, come anyway, the more the better.

    Cheers
    Neil

    Hi neil,
    Plan on doing everything in my power to get there, especially considering sister-in-law lives 15 minutes away.

    What do you want for the cyclone. How about a couple of big chunks of brazilian cedar or fijian mahogany?????
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Yeah, make it a saturday. Doug can provide the visual entertainment if the conversation gets boring

    I also have some stainless steel conveyor rollers. Approx 500mm long and 40mm diameter. Could be good for outfeed table or similar.
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    I'll be there which ever day - I'll bring a bottle of red and swap with anyone else who has one

    Sure I'll find something else in the shed too

    I'll be there. I don't mind Saturdays or Sundays. A swap meet idea is different and interesting.

    cheers

    Yeah, I'll come. I'll swap a swag of timber for a return ticket Cairns-Brisbane - but you'll need to send the ticket in advance!

    I think I can make it. If my stuff arrives from canada in time I may have a tool or two I've made for trade.


    Is this a forum only get together or can our better halves be there to.

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
