Yes! Come up to Cambroon Suzy. I'd love to meet you in person.
Ron has a couple of spare beds so you won't have to rough it in a tent.

I think you should come to Astrofest, but why don't you come up to Cambroon as a try out

No acting Ron, unfortunately I really do suffer the cold badly. I'm pretty much skin and bone. It is a wonder that I even go outside these chilly nights - it's only because of this new hobby that I do these days - it has indeed brought out a side in me I didn't know existed. After giving it much thought, and the re-assuring ideas to keep warm, that you'll have given me- thankyou, I've decided to come up during the day (on a w/end) and leave for home around 10pm. Good compromise I think. I'm such a woos! I know it!

Thankyou for the invite to Cambroon- I will give it some thought. I will more than likely leave around 10pm or so If I do come along. Am really looking forward to meeting you guys at some point.

sounds to me that the Owl better make more of an effort to get up there this year to show you lot how to keep warm

geoff

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #**124** 05-05-2010, 05:42 AM

You do that Geoff.

that_guy (Tony) · #**125** 06-05-2010, 08:15 PM

well,,, came back from kmart!! I now have the full shbang for the astrofest. My warm cloths are nothing but singlet, long sleeve t-shirts, woolly jumper, woolly jacket and a jumper on top of that for waterproofing!! Bring on the cold!!

firstlight (Tony) · #**126** 07-05-2010, 07:32 AM

Hope you have a beanie and some warm socks and boots too! Geoff might find a market up here if the temps are normal. Last year was the warmest Astrofest I went to... but it would be strange for 2 years in a row.

thunderchildobs · #**127** 07-05-2010, 12:13 PM

I remember drinking coffee in the coldroom. The coldroom has -4c outside it was -8c.

yep 24 degrees at 11.30 at night was a bit much to take

I bought a bottle of Balmain Supporter's port in 1988 to open when they won the Grand Final against Canterbury. Balmain Lost.

I then waited all through the next year to open it after the 1989 Grand Final against Canberra. Balmain lost.

I then waited till 2005 to open it after the Grand Final against the Cowboys. The Tigers finally won and by God that port tasted nice!!!

Go the port!!

Cheers,
Mario

Sorry guys and gals,

PayPay has still not decided if we are the Queensland Chapter of the Russian Mafia or not, so we have not prominently displayed the link to the on-line register page.

One of my jobs, when I get to it, is to redo the on-line link from the menu. Unfortunately PayPal is still not available, but you can direct debit of send a cheque. A PDF versin will be available about the same time as I redo the link. Until then please follow the instructuion outlined by David below.

As Douglas Adams once said "We apologise for the inconvenience".

Cheers
Tony

You just make sure you've got 9 nights worth of "Sticky Date" for me!

that_guy (Tony) · #**137** 27-05-2010, 07:47 PM

hmm... I'll probably have to buy 9 days worth of Mac and cheese and instant coffee with powdered milk...
Why does this sound like boot camp??

mike-wulff (Mike) · #**138** 02-06-2010, 12:07 AM

Hey Guys,
Booked in for the week looking forward to catching up.
Ron, don't forget it's the front of the solar panel that faces the Sun.
Chris the food was awsome, stop being a girls blouse

it was that dodgy red that made you sick. Lets hope it's cold , so as the 3am cheese and twiggy sticks are suitably chilled to match the white. Last year was a sauna. David bring some model aeroplanes with you please.
Geoff you will be pleased to know I've purchased a fully reclinable chair.
Therefore yours will be safe from being hijacked.
Chris I picked you up one of the Chinese Army winter hats when I was there recently to keep your head toasty, you look to much like a local with a beanie. Mike I will bring up some meals this year to return the kind hospitality both you and Geoff shared with me last year. (I,ve been watching MasterChef) David be on stand by with the drug kit.
See you all soon, I'll try my best not to win to much this year.

astroron (Ron) · #**139** 02-06-2010, 01:06 AM

Mike, what happened to my Hat

I even sent you a text message while I was on my trip
But got no reply

I hope to see you there at the last four days

mike-wulff (Mike) · #**140** 02-06-2010, 10:52 PM

Sorry Ron, it may have something to do with have a local beverage I became fond of in Tokyo watching the wallabies and losing my phone. An overnight trip to watch the rugby seemed like a good idea at the time. Good weekend though! I still have the same number so I'm surprised I didn't receive it?
Tell you what, lets do lunch over a fine bottle of wine in a few weeks.
I know of a really nice reclining chair I could kidnap for your after lunch just to enjoy the flavour more in the afternoon sun.
