KB Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 After a recent meet with member mikephotog I got to thinking we should try to have a big Melbourne meet, so I just want a virtual show of hands of all those that would be interested. We can work out time and place once we know who from where. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm interested.... if someone gives me a free flight out there and accomodation! Honestly, I've always wanted to go to Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I can handle the accomodation if you can find someone to pony up for the flight Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerman Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Can't see myself going to Melbourne but I'd go to a meet in Sydney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Ken, I'd also love to come - Melbourne is on my 'list' (more so than Sydney) but for the fact that: a] I live 11,000 miles away b] I hate spiders, 'specially the poisonous ones c] I suspect the Ashes will have been a humiliation by then and the gloating will be too much to bear Remember to post pics for all us Northern hemisphere folks in the cold and dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 @doc, a ) You can't help bad luck... and its really not that far! b ) We only have a few, but they are well trained c ) You can't help bad luck And yes, we really need a good gloat!

Chronus Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'd checked flights to Calgary (Canada) not long ago and found they were 750GBP return... so I can only imagine Australia will be thereabouts or more No chance I could afford that I can dream I guess!

Quarks Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Quarks? Where are you? Right here buddy. Count me in.

KB Posted November 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Ok so we have 3 starters and a possible fly down from Alan, however I am aware of many more Melbourne members so we will give them time to respond and try to get a good size group together.
