    It doesn't really matter whose fault it is as long as we use it as an excuse to bump the thread up a few times
    I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

    Default Some interesting facts

    The original post in this thread was also posted in the Wood Turners - General and the Wood Turners - Pen Turners forums.

    The number of views for each as of 7.30 am this morning:

    Forum GTG (This forum) 2363 views but only 51 WWF forum members and only 20 from the "Melbourne" area
    Pen Turning Forum 1287 views (24 WWF members) and only 2 additional from the "Melbourne" area
    Wood Turning - General forum 1383 views (44 WWF members) and only 3 additional from the "Melbourne" area

    In terms of our November discussions (increasing number of members attending GTG), the number of members viewing the post re our monthly get-to-gethers seems to be on a par with other posts in other WWF forums; a very low percentage of members (about 3%) compared with the total views for each post and to a large extent they comprise a small core group who are active on a regular basis and view many of the new posts. Interestingly more than 50% of WWF members who viewed the 3 posts were from outside of the "Melbourne " area.

    Looking back at a couple of my posts in other WWFs, the number of total views, WWF members and "Melbourne" area members are very similar. My definition of "Melbourne area" is roughly the greater Metropolitan including Geelong in the west , Mornington peninsular, Gippsland corrridor to about Pakenham, Ringwood and Healesville to the east and Sunbury in the north.

    If we have about 25 'active ' members from the "Melbourne" area, is it realistic to expect that more than 50% would be interested in driving into BOX Hill on a Monday night (or any other night) for a meal and talk?

    Food for thought over breakfast

    Default Who is attending

    According to my count, we have * dai sensei ,* Optimark,* Simplicity and * Sally, Gabriel, * Oldgreybeard as definite starters, with doug3030 and Jools to be confirmed ( * includes attending for meal before GTG).

    There is still time for others to book in for the meal and / or GTG. (PM Simplicity if you wish to join us for a meal in the RSL dining room at 6.00pm)

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Would love to join you guys but my two kids are still too young to be left at home alone. I hope it’s not too far off till I can get out and about again.

    Given this is a pen themed night, I'll bring along my latest attempts at both blanks and finished pens - I'm playing a bit with resin....

    Other than that, and a few overindulgent stories, what would people like to see?
    I know we have Neil attending but I'll take a guess that his trailer may not have everything in it so if something comes to mind pipe up

    I thought most would be happy to just stand in your Ora.
