GKPE V - Planning thread

OK first up when is this? Lets vote!

Please only vote if you intend to attend this, vote runs for two weeks from today.

I'm not going to vote since I can't say for sure i'll be there, but the 11th I might come up for. The 28th I have a wedding.

I've made a mistake.

I can't make either date

Thursday/Friday/Saturd​ay nights on 26/27/28 Kirst and I will be in Taupo, for the NZHondas mega meet/track day. She's got her big associations with the club, so has to stay down there, and orgnanise the stuff. The 11th, I'll be out with a road circuit around the New Plymouth town centre.

So.. have fun all.

What about labour weekend? 21st-23rd October. make it easier for out of towners to join us.

I don't have any bookings for 21st so I could do that. A non-holiday weekend could be easier, flights will probably be cheaper. Not too fussed.

No bookings? That's a change Tim.

I have 4 on the trot now

17th Feb
24th Feb
3rd March
10th March

Is anyone here planning on being away that weekend? It is a possibility might get a mod to add that to the vote...

Last count I had 15 upcoming bookings, just none for that weekend I'm turning people away for 2006, I figure if they're booking this late they don't care about their photos, plus I want the time to relax before the wedding season really kicks in next year.

Thanks to CDS we now have a Labour weekend option, and all the votes have been reset, so all three who have voted need to again!

labour weekend is good - but what would be the plan.. i can get flights sat morning arrive 7:10am
Monday depart.. _____ whats the shooting plan.. flights all day .. cheaper am and late pm ..

about $400 all up.. hmm that could be a large chunk off a speedlite.... need to check accommodation availability and costs..

but i cant see an issue with that wekend..

Hmmm just looked that one up in "the system" all the cheap seats are sold Thats a long weekend for you!

No shooting plan yet, not even a theme, come on guys ideas please!

Now I know that finding work was a mistake I'm off on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for sometime to come... though I am trying to work something out with the boss. Saturdays are our strongest days, hence a full compliment on the floor is needed. If there are any after 530PM events, e.g., socials or sunset shoots, I shall follow.

Have fun people!

21st will be out for me, picking mum up from the airport around 2ish. I voted for the 28th which will be better for me.

Well a bed at my place currently goes for the use of a lens for the day.

Im sure there are others with accomdation avliable, I even have a couch just the right size for Tim
Or, I can set up a second bed in the spare room, if you two don't mind sharing
