Ballarat BBQ & Turn on

[Calm]

Hi the BBQ and turn on at Ballarat is decided as 2nd May

i suggest a 9.30 or 10 am start and if requested bacon & eggs till 10.30am could be arranged.

That is not quite 2 weeks from now - please post requests for the agenda and i will make that up next week.

all welcome i will supply the BBQ, meat, sauce, bread, tea, coffee, biscuits and probably a Pav for desert. My daughters will make a salad or something. (in case TL and the wives want some)

This is open to all members of the forum and feel free to bring the wives & kids and make it a day in Ballarat.

i will be home friday and all weekend so if anyone wants to come around other days just ask.

When i was in Queensland at the Goldcoast Australia Day BBQ they ran a luckydip/prize draw that i would like to give a try - maybe Wendy (Ruffly Rustic) could explain that further)

Sorry no VL300 to play on but i'm sure will demo something on the best i have.

Cheers and all welcome.

I can't remember how it started, but for our South East QLD GTGs, everyone has brought along something woodworking-related to share. Sometime during the day, perhaps after lunch when everyone is too full to move much, we draw each person's name out of a hat and they get to pick something from the table. If there are still prizes left over, then round we go again... It's a huge amount of fun especially when everyone goes home with a "lucky door prize".

Thanks Wendy - pretty easy when someone who knows explains it.

I have plenty of wood to throw in if prises are short.

Hi David, how goes the planning, are there enough numbers? At this stage I'd like to go, just need to sort out some home details with the boss.

[Calm]

So the attendance is going to be a surprise but , David Mitchell, maybe Echnidna and a couple of others have indicated their interest.

So if it's back to a normal May day in Ballarat there is 2 fire drums and plenty of wood. (blackwood & Cypress)

So an agenda - well

Maybe a 10am start - earlier if you wish.

Hopefully Skew will do a goblet (if he turns up) - haven't seen one of them for a while -

Morning tea - i reckon scones & fruit cake should suffice for that

Finish the Goblet and maybe could give some tips/example on turning S&P grinders (making them the same) or table legs

Lunch - BBQ sausages, chops & steak - ok some salad just in case someone wants some.

Next the prize draw that Wendy described above (so anyone who has wood or tools or something they wish to give away bring it) and we will draw names from the hat and everyone gets to pick from the "pile of stuff"

Of course there will be a buy sell table - maybe the swap stuff could go in the draw (what do you think)

So input into this would be good - anything you want to see for the afternoon.

Oh yeah what do you have to bring - well for a start yourself would be good and plenty of stuff to talk about (no bulls&it allowed)

Cheers

I guess I must be one of the others.

Will come up on two wheels if you promise to weld the nuts back on.

Is that brazing for the Brass monkey

[nalmo]

I'm hoping to make it as well.

All welcome i am expecting about 20 so food shouldnt run out.

Almost forgot in the agenda the recording of this

I think Noel mentioned he may come and led by Noel, Greg and i'm sure it would be a memorable moment.

Any other takers - maybe as wheelinround (post 9) suggested a choir.

Or should we start the day with Waltzing Matilda?? Maybe prior to lunch

Cheers

I've been seeing a few posts recently on the subject of chatter/texturing tools and was wondering if a demo of both/either could be fitted into the agenda. If any forumites have texturing/chatter tools they could bring along I'd like to have a squiz.

No one's going to have much to say then .
