Expressions of interest for The National Meet-Up at Coffs-Harbour in 2016

Don't seem that it matters mate.
Darren had his Beachport trip in and the they threw an Australian day meet up in the same month....

Yeah, I hear ya mate.
I'm trying to choose my words very carefully as I absolutely do not want to dis PMC or anyone else.
The last thing that needs to happen is for Punderhead or PMC (or anyone else for that matter) to be given any disincentive about organising a run.

I just feel that the tag of "National Meetup" needs to be used appropriately IE a particular trip needs to be 'THE' National Meetup.

I was simply thinking back to a few threads and many opinions expressed about National Meetups and what they should mean that were posted a while back.

Mate the Australia day trip is becoming a forum tradition... This will be our third year.

That sounds great, I would be keen on Coffs Oct-Nov 2015

Still a fair drive but only an extra 500km or so to Fraser Island so might be able to justify an extended stay via fraser ha ha

I should be able to make it if I start saving up for the diesel for the trip straight away

Hey everyone.

I'm more than happy to have a forum meet at Coffs Harbour. However as has been suggested I would love to have it at a different time to the cape.

RLI you raise valid points regarding fuel costs etc. I was initially planning to suggest 2015 for the cape run, but decided that it didn't leave enough time for myself (and I presume others) to save the necessary coin required. Hence why I suggested 2016.

Of course nothing is set in concrete yet, so I'll leave it up to the forum to decide what they want to do, because in all honesty I want to meet as many of you blokes as possible.

Also to consider is a meet in wa or similar sometime. I'd love to do all four extremities (north, south, East, west) in future meet ups.

I'm happy to go with the flow, however with time off work, and spare cash to make these sort of trips hard to come by, I personally reckon we are better off to have our smaller meets whenever we can, and plan just one big meet for as many as possible every year or two.

Cheers
Luke

On second thoughts can we trust a guide with an 80 series on the cover?

G'day folks,

Firstly, my apologies to Luke, I must have had my beer goggles on mate, I thought your trip was for 2015, I then read your thread again and realised it was for 2016.

The only reason I threw up the Coffs Harbour scenario for 2016 as previously stated was I thought Luke’s Cape York trip was for 2015 and also due to my daughters swimming commitments for 2015.

Unfortunately, due to my heavy work-load and my daughters swimming commitments in 2015, I will not be able to help organise the Coffs Harbour trip for a possible 2015 time frame.

Once again my apologies for stuffing-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

Paul
