    Default Southern Tas "Channel" get together.

    Seeing as there have been a couple of "locals" in the channel region sign up recently, why not catch up over coffee/tea at someone's shed to put some faces to names, and get to know our neighbours a little?

    Naturally anyone interested in travelling from further afield would be most welcome!

    I'm happy to provide the venue in Margate, but just as happy for someone else to host if they'd prefer.

    If there's interest, what would work best for people? Week day evening or weekend?

    Regards,
    Lance

    Hi Lance

    What a great idea! Thanks for organising.

    I'm very keen, and also quite flexible around day and time. Happy to fit in with others.

    Regards Adam

    I'd love an excuse to go over again. $$$could be an issue but I'll follow this to see how it develops

    I'm interested in attending but sadly Saturday (need to travel from Launceston) would be the only day that works for me and that is probably too restrictive.

    Good to see the Taswegians jumping on board with a get together. They are always a great way to make new friends and get an idea of what others do.

    Great that there are a couple of takers. I figured if no-one showed up, I'd just have a cup to tea in the shed with my wife anyway (as she does a fair bit of woodworking too).

    I'll leave the thread to run for a couple of days to get more preferences, then will nominate a day/time and firm something up

    Well, seeing as Margate is just down the road reckon I'd be up for it. Any day suits with a bit of notice.

    Yes, I am interested too. Hobart to Margate shouldn't take long !! Notice is all I would need, except Mondays.

    Depends on the days - a few little foreman around at my place so timing and notice is definitely important

    Thanks all for the responses. It should be fun.

    I’ll propose the evening of Thursday 11th of April (two weeks from today), which allows us to get in before the Easter holidays.

    Time 7-9pm should be late enough for those needing to put little kids to bed, and early enough to not fall asleep at work the next day. If you can’t make the whole time, come when you can.

    I’ll provide the coffee and tea. If you’ve been working on something interesting, bring it along for show and tell.

    I’ll PM anyone who responds (or has already) with my address.

    Lance

    Don't forget the photos so we can see our friends across the water and their special projects if they appear.

    Excellent, thanks Lance.

    I'll be there at 7pm (assuming it goes ahead).

    I'll bring the Disston D-8 panel saw I've been restoring.

    Regards Adam
