Thread: Will there be another scraping class?

My mate Bruce and I stayed at The Best Western Mahoney's Motor Inn during the second scraping course. It was comfortable and quiet.

BT

The Excelsior is OK. I've stayed there a couple of times. Not great, but acceptable. PDW

The pressure is on now.... I am going to contact The Age and The Herald Sun.. We have to outdo those Swede's...

I can pretend I travelled all the way from iceland if it helps. Ill bust a few ulmlauts in there to make it convincing

Just two weeks away, I bet you are all getting excited...

I'm getting pretty excited. I have already got some ideas for scraping projects, or I might never want to see a scraper again..............

Both his parents where killed in a car accident, this past weekend). He had to fly back to Heathrow, to meet his wife and get his passport, before flying home. He had to pull out mid class.

Richard mentioned he was proud of you for jumping in with Jan to get him extracted out of there. Remarkably sad situation, on what is normally a great weekend.

You did good.

Regards Phil.

G'day Phil,

Thanks, we did what any decent person would do and took care of a bloke in a terrible situation. I am ex-firefighter so I am no stranger to tragedy. Jan Sverre - the gent who organized the courses both in Norway and Sweden saw him off at the airport for me. It was a logistics problem as rush hour hit us so we had to get him on a train so he would make his flight.

Hopefully you guys will have a less eventful time. I was happy to see the Swedish scraping class featured in the local rag Looks like they had a great time.

Paul.

Two weeks Yikes. I better pull my finger out. I still have about 3 weeks prep to do.

In other news. I just bought a fridge to keep here. The little bar fridge I have here is too small. Found an Ebay special that should keep us feed and watered for both weekends.

Regards Phil.

Just wondering if we need to bring anything to the class? For the Melbournians would it help to bring a milling vice etc or is there plenty to go around??

Also will we need to bring cash for items being sold on the day or is everything included in the course fee?

Are 6mm allen keys still required?
