OK I am going to resurrect a tread from the depths of forum time and space, as the rambling threads are too hard to follow.

This one is for events and outing planning only - NO RAMBLING!

If you are going to plan an outing can you please post it here (you can keep posting the the rambling thread as well but it moves so quickly it might get missed)

First up I am going to update the Big GKPE day outing calendar, not sure what number we are up to so I am going to drop that now, so keeping with the old rule which was:

Second weekend of February, May, August and November. One small change though I would like to suggest, this time we go alternate Saturdays and Sundays. Also caught up with a couple of the guys tonight, we though we would run a replay of GKPE 1, however since that was a sunrise to sunset event, we thought we best leave it until later in the year.

So here is the draft calendar:
Sunday 10 February 2008 - GKPE Day Event
Saturday 10 May 2008 - GKPE Day Event (Replay of GKPE 1? Same time of the year as the original)
Sunday 10 August 2008 - GKPE Day Event
Saturday 9 November 2008- GKPE Day Event

Righto what else is there to add of photographic interest? There is an airshow in Hamilton in a couple of months, I think Tony is planning something in the next couple of days.

Please feel free to add anything of suggest things for day events (we are always needing good ideas for these!)

What about a bbq? We haven't had one in a long time... I can volunteer my place if the weather is good... we won't fit in the house if it is raining... besides, it would be good to give the new barbie a workout! Late afternoon so that it doesn't get blistering hot...

Hmm... I wonder what I'm going to do about chairs... I only have 16...


John;)

Believe... Work hard... and it will happen!

Sounds like a plan, any ideas on dates, if you are volunteering your place then let us know what you have date wise.

As for chairs, we should have enough large lenses now to make some make shift stools...

We could always pick a nice day and all meet for a barbie at Long Bay - there are 4 shore people now :D
And everyone can bring their own chair!
