That is a great idea plassy, lets see how it pans out.
I also know of a great station on the murray near Wentworth which could house everyone so lets see who and how many are keen and work from there.
Rossco, 2015 may have to be changed to 2013...lol

Totally agree Andy. I was lying in bed thinking about this thread! 2015 is too far away. Too much can happen between now and then. I'm happy to make the initial enquiries unless somebody knows the station owner's personally.
Throw a couple of station names at me and I'll check it out. Would 100-200 be a fair guestimate of attendees?? Do U guys have a long weekend in October or somewhere around there?? What about the Easter Break??
I'm flying blind here guys. I don't know your part of Oz at all. Make up a list of questions for me to ask
Are we going to be family friendly?
Are pets allowed?
What are we going to stay in? Vehicles, tents, swags, camper trailers, on site accommodation???
Etc.....
Andy... can u change the date on the top of the post to 2013? Thanks in advance.

Yeah 2015 is a long way away.
I'm only just throwing Wentworth out there as It's literally on the border but as you said, lets poll it later on to see what the majority says.
I do the know the owners on that station and went there last Easter and with out a word of a lie.......GREAT TIMES!
The Murray is flowing. It has a massive homestead with power (cost them 20k to get it...lol) but its right on the bank.
See how it pans out though.
Good to see some offers from people though.
Anything goes at this place too.

Ok great, thanks Rossco.
2013 is a good idea but that will come quickly too.
Looking forward to it guys!!!
We'll have to end up doing a couple of polls like is it just for the boys or family, etc.
I'm happy either way, more the merrier and all that jazz.

I have drafted up a checklist to help evaluate potential locations. I can't attach it tonight but will zip scan it tomorrow and post it up. Hopefully it will come in handy when considering the potential for a proposed location.
Love your work!

Great form, 1000% top marks on creating it. You know your stuff, impressed...lol
Do we, or should we have anyone central to the organisation of this event?
good point, it depends on where the majority want to go and how far I guess.
Do we want a general all round mission to get to our destination and kick back and enjoy the "seranity" or a central place to have creature comforts and enjoy the company.
We could start a thread using your form for willing members to fill out and email to us and poll the suggestions maybe?

Nice work Plassy. I would be keen on a destination that's not a nightmare to get to. I mean, lets not meet up at Alice Springs area...haha. It would need to be accesible and as close as possible to the majority but still be in an area that had good tracks or something special about it me thinks.

So I reckon Andy should first of all start a thread asking for members to nominate their interst in attending this event. When we know who's keen, then we could ask those members for ideas about where they reckon would be good locations. We could then grade those locations against the checklist and see what place comes up as the best location.
Just my thoughts after a couple of reds!!
x2 Your right on the mark Plassy.....
