EOI: Bretti dates for 2011

Hi All and

Just working out some possible dates for BRETTI RESERVE for the adventurous Amateurs for the early half of the year.

April 28th, 29th, 30, and May 1st with the New moon being the 3rd May is one option. (This will be a bit cool )

July 28th, 29th 30th and 31st with the new moon being on the 31st is again one option (this will be a cold one so like last year we will need the big campfire and freezer suits ).

For those not in the know this spot is about 30kms nth west of Gloucester on the thunderbolt way. It is free camping and It "only" has pit toilets and a fresh water river and brilliant skies (if the clouds are not there). Some of us that attend have sine wave generators (for battery charging and lighting and computers) and toilets and shower gear but otherwise you would need your personal style of camping gear, food and drinks. This is usually a very informal, relaxing time.

Time is on our side for discussions on the subject. I for 1 will be going to both events.

I probably wont be able to make the April one, for the same reason I won't be going to SPSP.
But I have high hopes of getting there for the Big Chill ! in July.

Fingers crossed for the July/Aug chill out, would be great to have last years gang + others.

Also have interest from a guy Zbig from Poland who will be out here for a conference and wants to attend a star party in late July. I have given the particulars of the place but he thinks he will try for accommodation in Barrington at the pub and come out at night. He will rent a car from Sydney. I will keep you informed
