Possible YSSY Spotting Weekend 2012???

[James S.]

The 400 comes like every 10 minutes doesn't it? It's an express route bus!
And to walk to QF Drive, it's just as long as it is if you were to be driving there in your own car.

They usually come around every 20 mins.

Almost 3 months has lapsed with no solid plans so far it seems.

With May 2012 rapidly creeping up on us I think you guys need to start some solid plans now

[Nigel C]

You guys? Don't be thinking you can't be a part of this!

In response to your post, all I can suggest is that a night at the DoG be organised soon so the 'planning committee', i.e. all of you, can discuss the best date and a loose schedule of dinners/drinks/spotting etc.

How does 1800 on the Friday 16th December at the Duke of Gloucester Hotel, Randwick sound? Any takers?

[Beau Chenery]

What about a loose weekend of dinners/drinks/spotting scheduled for something permanent next year?

ie no mods/admins do any huge weekends of pressos or whatever, just a casual rockup spot then a few drinks somewhere.. Thoughts?

[Kurt A]

Nigel is correct, we're happy to have people from the floor start the planning. I'm also happy to nominate myself as the central point of contact if that's what most people prefer.

From a "date" perspective, I think it's fairly safe to keep 11-13 May 2012 blocked in your calendar for the Spotting Weekend next year.

Given the busy Christmas period ahead, I unfortunately won't get much time to make any "solid" plans until the new year.

Nig, unfortunately next Friday is a no-goer. May need to wait until Jan.

[Nigel C]

Kurt, early next year is fine with me too. I'll check my roster for possible DoG dates and let you know. I'll be working on the proposed spotting weekend dates, but I might be able to join Saturday night's festivities.

Beau, agreed, an informal weekend would be easy to 'plan'.

I'll back that weekend in as well, looking cheaper by the minute...

Nige have you found that email address for me yet mate?

In case it's important to anyone, note that 13 May 2012 is Mothers' Day.
