Hi pinkmouse
how did the meet go??? Have been aware of it coming up, but must admit I haven't noticed a 'show report' with pics yet, if someone has already done a write-up could you point me to it please??
Thanks for your offer of help in this thread!

Yes, that would be a nice ride! Still visit the family home in North Richmond so use that route often enough.
Anytime's good for me if you were just feel the need to go for a ride!!
Hi,
I am in Sydney and am happy to drive to Bathurst, Newcastle and even Canberra.
David,
I am not far from Epping so I may give it a go this weekend to SAC.
Can you please send me PM for more information about the two clubs?
Regards,
Bill

Actually, no. My girlfriend is from Geelong. But she lives here. So technically I am not related to everyone in Launceston. 😛
Why not host all this is Tasmania? Sure it will be a logistical nightmare, but the weather is... Well, yeah. But nice scenic place. And save me some travel expenses if something like this does go ahead 🙄
My housemate describes Victorians as 'proof Tasmanians can swim'.sfreak said:
If someone put together a gathering like the ETF or RMAF in Tasmania (or anywhere on the big island too), I'd happily come down there. Never been to Tasmania, but ti's somewhere I've always wanted to visit and see.

Because we would all go home broke and with many more new speaker bits than we need! 😉 😀

Yeah, it's hard to come up with those user names, it's a wonder I managed it!! I realised Moondog was not the same as the one at SNA just after I'd posted but it was too late....no worries, it's a good idea anyhow. I'm up for any good reason to visit back home in New South, so I'd definitely be up for it.

Hi Ted, I realise that you are not the same Moondog on SNA now [profiles are just too far apart and I hadn't looked at that till after I posted] Only too happy to converse, share a beer and a BBQ down here if that is practical and I'd be in a GTG with others from this forum if we could get it off the ground.
Cheers,
Keith
I do like the idea of a swap and sell, and I'm delighted with the response so far, maybe we need to find a sponsor?
And a big hall, a big Cheap hall.
terry j, Bathurst is beginning to look good to me, what would you need from the rest of us to act as host, and is Easter a possibility??

Just thinking about the concept here and my suggestion of Goulburn.
I have some contacts locally and I think I could get the local RSL rooms (we use them for radio Club meetings for pretty much nothing), they are very nice too. Accomodation I could get a good deal on as I have a mate who owns a local motel. I think I could even get some presenters on a few topics.
Easter would not work in Goulburn though as everything is pretty much booked out way ahead for Wakefield Park Car races.
I could also probably get access to the local community college facility really cheap, it is a lovely historic building, I'm the president so that would help.
I could also organise a tour of local historic attractions and a meal at one of the oldest brewaries (if not the oldest) in Australia. I have a retired audio tech friend who could probably put in some time to organise a few things though I have not mentioned this to him yet.

If the timing is OK, I may be able to make it to Bathurst or Goulburn, maybe even bring a couple of pairs of speakers with me.
Its a long trek in the van, though, so I would need accom, etc.
Gees, Easter is LONG way off, but I could then zoom to Canberra to see the daughter !!!
Actually, feeling quite interested if it can be organised.

I'd also be interested in a audio GTG at Bathurst or Goulburn. Around Easter would give me some time and incentive to get some projects happening to bring, and amp and my 'rears' as described in my thread yesterday.
Hi Ted and the gang (as in the ted mulry gang, yes I know, pathetic)
look I'm totally cool on having it here. We have an old place but even as it stands we have beds available for around twelve people, however the caveat on that is that some of them are double beds, so unless people are bringing girlfriends/boyfriends that may not work too well and some lucky people will get a double bed to themselves! In ant case it won't be hard to rustle up extra matresses, if people bring their own pillows etc.
We are on sixteen acres so camping is a very easy thing to accommodate🙂
However, there is a guest house only a short drunken stumble about 200m away, which I have no idea how much it would cost. I can check it out and find out how many it sleeps, and if we divide that cost between all of us (maybe including those that stay here) then it becomes all that more affordable.
After reading the feedback on the UK meet, it seems one of the biggest problems is the room/venue acoustics. My own music room is about 9m by 6m by 5m high, and I have an identical room opposite that would accommodate either a BIG setup someone may have, or a couple of little ones. We have another room about 8m by 5m for yet another setup, and of course the guesthouse should have a couple of suitable rooms if we wanted to 'split' the scene.
When is easter??april isn't it? I guess given the distances involved we would be foolish to only have, for example, a one day shindig. A long weekend might even be the go, get a spit in etc etc and food is handled.
Also from the UK meet, it would be good if valve amps, pc based systems or whatever would turn up, has a similar thread been started on any of the other sub-forums?
Having said all that, I'm not in any way pushing for it to be here, am more than willing to travel, albeit probably without my setup as quite frankly it would be a pain in the proverbial, nahh, just talked myself into taking it if needs be!
Anyway, as noted earlier, the response does seem positive doesn't it!!
