Pony Club, NSW Central Coast, February 2012

Hi everyone!

Just wondering what plans others have for February new moon, for those of us who are not going to Bretti.

New Moon falls Wednesday of this coming week, making this Saturday and next Saturday both good options.

I can do this Saturday, I can't do next Saturday. I don't have a key, so I will need to convince a keyholder to join me if this weekend is going to be a goer.

People?

I have a gate key.
But no amenities keys have been forthcoming yet as far as I know.
Geoff ? Any news?
Unless SWMBO has other plans, I am keen, weather permitting.

Mike, you have some serious browny points to earn with SWMBO (bearing in mind you will be leaving the family at home during the Ken Duncan tour), so we will forgive you this time. Hope the tournament goes well.

Deeno, never mind the weather, things have been bit of a clearer in the last week or so, I am remaining quietly optimistic.

I'll keep an eye on the cloud cover during the day. If it is only a bit cloudy, I will be going. There is no forecast of rain, just clouds, and we all know that it can be cloudy on the coast at the Central Coast, and clear as a bell at Mangrove Mountain.

Hi Geoff,
Any word yet on access to facilities?
Rod,
I am clear to go tonight, if the weather plays fair.
GB,
I'll bring your book in case.

Thanks for clarifying Geoff. Where has your usual weather-optimism disappeared to?

It WILL be good Deeno!

Good to hear Allan. I have been issued with a leave pass too, so I am good to go as well. I suggest we call it at 6pm one way or the other. I will check in at that time to confirm what's happening.
