Excellent exercise! Has anyone done a head count of people attending? Just as a rough estimate?

Folks - you're going to hate me..

Due to some unforeseen family business that has cropped up, I'm afraid I have to postpone this event 'til August. I don't want to clash with the AW weekend so it's going to be AUG 12.

I'm really sorry and would hate to think someone who could originally make it may now have to miss out on it due to the date change.

Your response would be appreciated.

Once again, my apologies. :oops:

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:29 pm**

Hi Simon,

No worries here, I'm still keen.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:41 pm**

Well that's two of us, Mark! Thanks.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:45 pm**

I recon that Jonas will be into it too, that's if I offer to pick him up on the way.

Posted: **Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:54 pm**

I am still available......... unless I find a better place for lunch.......

might be an idea to have a mod change the date on the front page.....

Already asked Leigh to help out on that score Bernie.
Glad you can still come. :wink:

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:12 pm**

No problem Simon, I can still make it on the 12th August but need to check with Steph to see if she can still make it. I will update soon.

Geoff

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:21 pm**

hell I'm a ph.d student, so of course I can make it!

Posted: **Thu Jul 13, 2006 6:26 pm**

Thanks Geoff and Hash.

Gecko - hope you can make it but certainly understand your other priorities.

Mark - Bugger. Sorry you have to ditch this time. We'll make up for it soon.

My freind Steph is also in.

Geoff

Posted: **Mon Jul 17, 2006 10:46 pm**

Looks like the change of date might suit me, 29/7 is the wifes birthday and the 12/8 is my eldest sons birthday. My son will be more understanding than my wife as far as me dissappearing for a few hours :wink:

Has a time to meet been discussed and a meeting place?

Brett

Posted: **Tue Jul 18, 2006 9:24 am**

Manta will be letting us know of the meeting place soon

Sorry guys - my ISP decided to pull the plug on my suburb for the last two days and I've been out of action. I've even been too busy at work to sneak a peek at the site!

Meeting place will be:
The bus shelter at the lower entrance to the City Botanical Gardens, corner of Edward and Alice Streets, Brisbane City
This is the same start point that the Brisbane Camera Group use and it's perfect for our purposes as it provides a central position from which one can shoot the river, the gardens and the urban landscape - depending, of course, on the topics which will be handed out just prior to the starter's pistol! :twisted:

There is plenty of parking around (Kings etc).

Time: It'll be a 10.00am kick-off, so please be there before this time so I can 'calibrate' your shutter count, gather mobile contact details so we don't lose anyone, explain the plan for the day and, hopefully, grab the ever-elusive GROUP PHOTO. I expect I'll be there from around 9.30am.

Thanks Bernie for compiling the list of attendees - a great mix of new and old members.

The important thing to remember is that this is a very serious event, focussing on winning at all costs, being as ruthless as you can be and not smiling for the whole day. Photography is not fun, people, and I'm a very serious guy. I f anyone is under the illusion that this will be an enjoyable outing, they'd better get that thought out of their mind quick smart. :wink:

Now thats what I call photography, all out full contact competition, I will come complete with mouthgaurd and headgear and I pity anyone who wears a blue supportters jersey, cap, socks, shorts or shirt :twisted:

You mean all those people I drive past on the way to work are up to something kinky????

:wink:

its all down hill from the bus stop..........

Posted: **Sun Jul 23, 2006 8:55 pm**

I'm definately out on that date :cry:

Posted: **Mon Jul 24, 2006 5:53 pm**

Well it looks like I am over another hurdle to be at the hunt and shoot, the cheese and kisses has given her blessing, the birthday boy wants to do his boat licence that day with a couple of his mates. The youngest blokes football season finishes the week before, so now that only leaves work and I wont know that until the day before the event.

Sorry I cant be more definate, but if luck keeps going my way I could get over the line
