October Kulnura gathering: who's up for it?

[iceman (Mike)]

Do we need a key or something? Who's going to get the key and be first there?

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

PONY CLUB

GREEN LIGHT given

not that we thought of it - but we can ignore the "Q" sign in the driveway

anyone that wants to get there early can PM me for instruction on where to get the key to the gate

I haven't been there before. Where is it?

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

directions

Official name is 'Tom McKenzie Park'

33.20.18.30 S
151.09.25.50 E
nice shot of it on google earth

from the turnoff at Somersby(Kariong/Gosford exit off freeway) it is 18k to the crossroads at Central Mangrove

keep going straight through (west) for another 10.3K

it is on the right hand side going out and you will notice a well managed hedge on the right not far before it

there is an older type house and another property with a cement wall fence on the left dead opposite the gate

(if you hit a sharp left and fork in the road you have gone a few hundred yards toooo far)

NOW gentlemen and ladies - - - - no buying any new gear till monday

Yeah well we're getting an Electrical Storm forming here as we 'speak' !!!
As in "A storm is about to Ethos in the area !!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
• Ethos (ἦθος, ἔθος) (plurals: ethe, ethea) is a Greek word originally meaning "accustomed place" (as in ἤθεα ἵππων "the habitat of horses", Il. 6.511) "custom, habit" that can be translated into English in different ways. Some possibilities are 'starting point', 'to appear', 'disposition' and from there, 'character'.

[RB (Andrew)]

Well it just hailed here !!

I call this 'Ethos Hail'.

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Just received Ethos Hail in Point Clare, too.

[h0ughy (David)]

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

[Satchmo]

Looks like a great paddock with good horizen ( about 80 meters X 80 metres ).

Good luck with the weather

We've been monitoring the rain bands down here, so I had a look at Newcastle! WOW!

Then I read the fine print:- "Please be aware that the Newcastle (Lemon Tree Passage) radar is currently over-reading. The radar continues to provide useful information about the location of thunderstorms but the storms are not as intense as depicted. A technician will visit the radar once the current weather has cleared."

Phew! But it still means clouds, rain and, obviously, hail!

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

I have made initial contact with the Pony Club committee and we may - i say may - have access to power and the club house to-morrow nite
waiting to hear back

geoff

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Thanks for your efforts Geoff. Looking forward to tomorrow.

After today's weather, I promise I won't mention the "E" word again until Sunday.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

all indications at the moment suggest a good viewing nite - except maybe the wind - don't know what that is predicted as

so remember - especially if you want to stay late - bring your winter woollies

it should be great to try out the pony club again

OH! by the way Rod - i had the nephew CANCEL your ethos order just to appease the weather gods

geoff

[Rodstar (Rod)]

Now, Geoffrey, I think if the weather gods are that concerned, it must be a VERY good eyepiece. You'd better get your nephew to order a second one...

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

if only i could afford it Rod - i would get him to re-order TWO
