Yeah, you are right - my sonotube barrels were simply toilet roll tube offcuts painted with chintzy epoxy blue paint (and badly at that).

I might have some dairy-grade stainless barrels turned up for me. Know anyone that works with supreme erotica udderly ridiculous cheese grade stainless?

(funny, being the grandson of a massive dairy farmer here in QLD (just a few thousand hectares...a few...], the stainless they used was no better than the stainless everyone else used. It must be Victorian Grade stainless that's superior due to the corrosive nature of the BS floating in the air)

UPDATE: my Tak diagonal just came in to complete the enchilada, so we can't deny Stefan and Adrian entry now

With just a month to go, could interested parties please indicate on this thread if they are still planning to attend and if they would like a lunchtime get-together on the Saturday.

As mentioned previously, this a self catering and very casual meet to spend a couple of nights doing some observing from Phil's bush block property. The only financial contribution is a voluntary one to share the cost of rented PortaLoo facilities for convenience.

Cheers, Matt

I'm very much looking forward to our Takahashi get together again. Jordan and I will be staying at the Thunderbird motel from Thursday. Saturday lunch is good for us.

An FSQ-106N might be able to make it, with me as a hanger-on.

Are H and I to be segregated away from the Kewl Kids seeing we will be imaging while you lot drink unwooded Chardonnay, degustating on foie-gras and listening to Rachmaninoff whilst visually observing with EP's bigger than...well, just big EPs?

I guess we'll get the obsy seeing you lot won't need it.
