Pony Club tomorrow night?

Anyone heading up to the Pony Club tomorrow night?

I'll be there!

Should have some special guests coming too... namely John (xstream) and Anna!

Hi Robert, here's the link Geoff refers to

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=26142

I'll be there regardless too - there could be a thunderstorm earlier in the evening but should clear up after.

It's going to be a hot day and a hot night!

Yeah, Why Not!

I'll throw out a tentative yes (depending on my little one).

As the weather is unpredictable tomorrow. It would be better than going out west and heading back

is it BYOB Batteries or is there a power as i am scared I might run out? Charger is damn slow...

I have my leave pass in. Still awaiting approval. 2 weeks in a row may be testing the relationship.
Anyway, lets just say ...
I have intent.


(speaking of intent, I dont think inmykombie will be well enough )


Hi Rob,
yes BYOBatteries.
And there is a clubhouse with power.
If you have a long enough extension, or two, might as well bring them.
Position close to the clubhouse is keen, when Mike comes.
Maybe run a double adaptor off Mike's rig?

Wanted to come but can't. SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) has me booked up tomorrow. Hope the weather clears on the mountain.

now what's that saying Deeno ?

"if you never ever go - you never ever know"

so why should we tell you ? we did expect to see YOU

what we can tell you is - that Anna, John, Rod, Geoff and Geoff had a very pleasant nite.

Rod brought a 2 kilo box of Roses chocolates and we played a little game whilst we were observing - the idea was that every time you got up to look through Edwin you got to select a chocolate from the box.
we eventually had to pack up and come home cause we ran out of chocolates.

after a slight hiccup with Edwin early on in the nite, he performed well for the rest of our evening. looking forward to views through Edwin in the future for sure.

the biggest disappointment of the nite was not being able to show John and Anna "the horse head" - it seams someone has stolen our horsehead.

Oh, I managed to find the Turkish Delight, much to Geoffs (Inmykombie) disgust!

Once we got the alt cable on the ServoCat back into place, Edwin did perform flawlessly and we enjoyed a very pleasant night between us.

Thanks guys for your hospitality.

It was great to catch up with Geoff, Rod and John and Anna again.

And yes....darn it....I missed out on the Turkish delights every time.
On my way home I had my head out the window of my van looking at the stars getting clearer the further away I got..
Was I he sacrificial lamb ????

Anyway it was a good time to talk / laugh/ and enjoy some favourites though the 18 incher.

Hope to catch up again soon.

heers.
