Watcha Dooen in Dooen 2018 ... Australia Day Weekend

Reading your comments re insurance Dave, have you looked at "Working with Kids" certificate issued through Australia Post. Not sure if itis required, but I was told I need it if I want to run photography courses for kids and it could cost about $120 per 'teacher'. There are exemptions, but I don't know - have not really looked into it and don't know if the "Home school" activity is exempt or not.

I will have to talk to you after Christmas, not sure that we will be able to attend. Will know more after Paul gets back from Philippines in January.

Bob

PS. I had not seen Doug's earlier post, but from what I was told re photography classes, it may be worth checking as the forum members may not qualify as 'family or friends'.

I think we can go friend of friend and you'll all be friends at the end [emoji6]

You all my friends and I have likewise established relationships with the varukus parents involved

Unfortunately, once a can of worms is opened the only way to re-can them is to use a much larger can.

Now that there is a permanent record that participants have discussed this, if anything adverse happens (fingers and toes crossed it doesn't) some clever lawyer will make it his mission to prove that any decision we made as a group or Dave made as an individual was wrong.

I am still of the belief that all that is happening here is that Dave is inviting several friends to his place for an Australia Day celebration. As at any similar gathering, it is normal that not all of the guests will know one-another before the event. As at any similar event, adults and kids alike will take part in organised and spontaneous activities, whether they knew each other prior to the event or not. Nobody is being employed or contracted to run any activity that may take place. People hold gatherings like this all the time without insurance and blue cards.

But having said that, now that the can of worms is open and documented, it might be wise for Dave to shoot off a couple of emails to the relevant authorities detailing the circumstances accurately and truthfully so that he can have documented proof that the questions have been asked and answered by those who should know. These emails and responses could prove useful in the event of a problem.

Disclaimer - I am not a lawyer, but I know enough to know that law and common sense are not synonymous. Better safe than sorry.

Cheers

Doug

Dave, your in box is full, tried to send you a PM but gets bounced back.


Will you please empty some out!

To start off this year will be a tribute to our dearly departed Reploconics aka Trev or Trevor Jones. He may be gone but his spirit lives on!

Dave, I am happy to help with this as we discussed several month's ago. I am thinking of a slide show of our favourite "Trev's images". If you are happy to go with this could you and other members post details of your favourite images from the "Reploconics" thread in the Woodworking Photography sub-forum ( I would need at least the date that Trevor posted the image, post number and image number or similary to identify the image). I will download them and compile them into a slideshow. Similarly if anyone has a tribute that they would like included, please pass that on to me also.

If there are any other suggestions rather than a slideshow, please post them here for consideration - I suggest the final decision be left with Dave.

G'Day Bob, I have a few photos of Trevor from Katoomba and Jerilderie plus a number of others, might be best to post a memory stick, Cheers, Peter

Thanks Bob,

Slideshow would be great. Happy to run with some other ideas too if any have some.

I reckon I will be a starter, not sure of the details as yet, but will work them out in the next few days.
