I would love to catch up again John.
I've missed everyone.
It may be just a short visit though.

Sounds like we have all bases covered alcoholically speaking. That will keep our spirits up if the weather turns foul.

Packing now for the big trip up from Melbourne.
I have just loaded my Genny in again as the last two years the Clubs has failed to start and mine has been left to charge the batteries and run half the field anyway. I don't trust the house power up there for this event.

Not quite true, not the clubs genny, my genny. and I believe it was only last year as I was not there till the Saturday others couldn't figure out how to get it going ( the price I pay for being a cheapskate, left hand behind your right rear, stand tip toes on right foot, pull the cord ).

All help in charging the batteries for others is most appreciated.

Fair call, anyway looking forward to this year. A lot of re-checking my gear as it is a long way back if I miss anything. Coming up with 4 others this year from MPAS as well.

P.S. This year I recon we need a more efficient way of transporting the donuts down to the imaging field!

My biggest gripe there is notification. Got caught our last year that we didn't know that they had started and stopped the donuts early.
