    Default Mid-week "turn-ons"

    Just thinking out loud here, but would there be any interest amongst the retired/semi retired turners out there in getting together occasionally for some mid-week "turn-ons". As my work week is Friday arvo - Monday arvo I am not able to attend a lot of the turn-ons that come up on the weekends. I also notice that quite a few forumites are unable to attend because of those pesky family functions that only seem to happen on the weekend that you have set aside for something more important, i.e. sharing b.s. stories with mates at a turn-on.
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Must be a koinkidink, but Calm and I were just an hour ago discussing who might be available for these mid-week get to gethers and your name came up. Neither of us were sure what your employment status was, I guess we know now - full time PLUS.

    Mid week or Weekend are all good for me.
    I seem to have a knack of being away for most of these.
    I enjoyed the one I got to at GJ's. So much to learn!
    Cheers,
    Steck
