Kulnura: 21 April 2007

I have been checking out moon rise and setting times, and realised that for those who are really keen, we could have a Kulnura session the week AFTER SPSP15, on the night of Saturday 21st April.

The 4 day moon sets at 8.12pm, meaning we could be up as late as we want!

I guess we will all be a bit clearer about how we are all feeling after SPSP, but just thought I'd throw that in as an option for consideration.

Just keep pestering Dad Elizabeth, he'll give in eventually.

I'll save you an Easter egg and bring it with me. See you at Wiruna.

It's extremely unlikely I'd have the brownie points for Kulnura on the 21st, after SPSP.. i'm also booked in at the NAS meeting on the 27th, so it would really be pushing my luck

I can say with confidence that even though I am taking both boys to SPSP (giving my lovely wife a free few days) that I will not be able to make it...

In spite of her being "family free" for a few days, SPSP still counts as "my" thing...I guess I'll just have to buy some stuff at SPSP to show her!

kulnura April 21st

Do you think the Kulnura night will go ahead? I have the night off work and would love to come up. The only thing holding me back will be "wind or rain, house chores or pain" (wind or house chores won'r really stop me).

Having just spent 4 days and 3 nights at SPSP, I may just have had my fill for a while ....I'll see how I feel later in the week.

If anyone is going up, someone will need to let the owners know that you are coming.

You're all a bunch of big sooks ...having said that I wont be their either as I have done my back in big time and am only able to walk a few paces before I need to lie down. Now the football season is here I will miss going for the next few months.

Sorry to hear that Gazz, I hope you have a speedy recovery mate.
I know how bad it is with bad backs.

G'Day,
Wouldn't you just know it I was seriously thinking of going up this Sat and most of you have OD at Ilford I got to admit it's a long journey there especially from the Central Coast and I know most of you would not have had much sleep.Anyway If anyone else is going and they can arrange for the gates to be opened or what ever else has to be done,you can count me in for Fri or Sat night,weather permitting of course.so let me know whats happening
Cheers
Arthur
