I'm coming after all Ron, it took me a while to figure how to make the right decision, but I'm giving the work party a miss after all.
(They made it so you had to respond to an RSVP to go - easy, I didn't!)
I'm just REALLY hoping that it's decent observing weather now for that weekend, but even if it's not I'll be there. It's just not right to let a birthday celebration pass by, is it?
Looking forward to seeing you again too Peter, and Alex, and Robyn, and Paul, Jeanette, etc - who else is coming?
Randall, Dennis(the 'nightshift' version), Wes, William, Maureen, Terry, John, etc, etc - where are you guys? Time to get on board the train!

Great news Steve and Robin and Jeanette  it will be good to see you all again 
I mowed the grass last week and it has rained nearly day, so it looks like I might have to go over it again before next Saturday 
I think it will be a good weekend Weather, Observing and Social wise

hi Ron, Steve and the gang,
I would love to come but alas, Ron shares his birthday with my very soon to be 10 year old daughter. She is having a sleepover party with 6 of her friends and "Mum" decided she needed help with that. hmmmmm, lets see now, a night of observing in the tranquility of Rons vs a night of terror and torment with 7 10 year old girls, its a tuff decision but my wife made it for me, there was no getting out that night for me. Sorry.
Happy birthday anyway Ron, your sleepover sounds like more fun.
cheers, Dennis.

Sorry guys, I won't be able to make it for Ron's birthday. I'm going to schoolies and we've been delayed a night due to some problems  and have been offered an extra night at the end of our stay. That ends up eating into IIS for this weekend.
Chris
PS. Have a good time and Happy Birthday Ron!

Great stuff Mick, it's been too long, I can't even remember what you look like in the dark, let alone broad daylight!

Seriously, will be good to see you again.
Sorry to hear that you can't make it Dennis - both of you Dennii that is of course!
Chris I'm always sorry when a chance to spend time with you and Mike is missed, but this IS your 1 and only Schoolies week (you did pass everything, right  ) so have a great time mate, enjoy yourself.
(Would LOVE to be a fly on the wall at your place while your away, listening to Mike and your mother wondering what you're up to, etc.)

Let me know Jeanette because I could pick you up on the way through from Somerset Dam since I will have to go right past Mary Smokes Rd on Saturday (assuming the clouds don't open of course). I was planning to take my old motor-home (if Cambroon protocol allowed it and assuming the road up to Malaney off the Peachester road isn't too steep for the old girl) - so there would be plenty of room for your gear.
