Victorian NP meet up 13th-14th SEPT BBQ/drive/camp at Wombat state forest

[relyimah]

I've politely told work that I'm having the Friday and the Monday off so can help out with the set up / clean up too if this is required :)

[lucus30]

Members who have not been along before here is your chance to meet some very good people and to show your face.


I'd like to reiterate this point to anybody new considering coming. As I've only just recently met these guys also don't be scared they really are a good bunch of blokes.. So put your name down and come meet some of the clowns

Admittedly I had my misgivings and fair enough when you meet people off the internet but thankfully none turned out to be axe murderers or anything fishy

I come back to the first time I met johnny... He was welding a chainsaw and humming battle music.

[krbrooking]

I also think it might be a good to set up a poll if at all poss to get numbers that are coming for just the sat or sun and those that will be staying over night and for dinner to work out some sort of head count for the food. Maybe add in a plus 1 or 2 for the dinner. Might also be a good idea if the maybe's can confirm by the weekend of the 5th so it makes it easier ordering the meat.

I'll be coming from Bendigo, so are you guys going to meet at Matfews first then go for a morning drive or are you doing a drive from Melb through the scrub to Matfews? Or potentially meeting in Bacchus before venturing into the wilderness?

You need to speak a little louder mate. These guys are deaf. I would assume they will be leaving from Matthews place.

[Chappy]

Is a Sunday morning drive planned?

[sooty_10]

Sounds good, I'm sure the details will be coming out closer.

[Bloodyaussie]

I would have updated the first thread with the latest details but cannot without asking permission from AB or one of his henchmen...

The meeting place is at Matfews on Saturday morning (some are coming Friday) and the location is via text or PM a few days before the meet.

There will be a Sunday drive also at about 10-10.30am (depends on the state of everyone) but AB will be pacing about at 8.30 to go for a drive.

[Chappy]

Yeah beauty. I wouldn't mind going for a Sunday drive in the new TD. Would be good to put some faces to some names too.

Supply the meat and nothing else or it will be too much work for you.

I think this might be the go... I will get about $50 worth of snags and about 4 loafs of bread for lunch and then the meat for the spit my budget was $250 but George thinks this wont even be close for the amount of people coming...?

Just had a chat about what we catered for my 30th and we reckon it was around 1kg meat per 4 people. That's around 3 snags each and 250gms meat for dinner. Add in some salad/sides at dinner (byo?) and that is a relatively good meal.

Not sure how that works for the budget but may be a good starting point for guesstimates?

I best get on with that pretty soon as I think I have to let someone know I dont think I can just rock up and buy $200+ of meat on a whim.

Yeah they do usually like some notice. Some will even put the meat on the spit for you if you take it to them. Not sure how well it would travel like that but would certainly save some hassles at the other end

Hahahahaa! sorry mate i don't mean to be rude but when we have a party or a bbq/ spit for our selfs we calculate .5 - 1kg of meat per person plus sides and drinks

[QUOTE="relyimah;535973"] Some will even put the meat on the spit for you if you take it to them./QUOTE]

We'll be marinating the meat and packing it onto the steak, that way it'll be easier to transport.

I don't think that's rude at all mate :)

I was looking at it from a photo of view that 250gms of meat per person per meal "supplied" as a pretty generous amount. Anyone that wants 1-2kg of meat for lunch/dinner would surely be expected to bring the additional? Haha

Also fair point on the spit, was just throwing options out there :)

It was on the assumption that most people go for seconds and nibble afterwards and after a quick discussion with jonathan which reminded me that not everyone eats alot while they drink there should be a little bit left over the next morning unless we're animals and smash it during the night hahahaa. Yeah the kids arn't added i the calculations either lol .

My social circle enjoys their food so i always cater for extra than what is needed and usualy ends up being roughly the 1kg mark unless they are machines and they need more haha thats why there is sweets afterwards lol.

Also Jonathan called me fat coz my brother and i ate 1kg of mince with 1 packet of spaghetti for dinner last night between the 2 of us :D

Over fueling is one thing but this is more like driving around on a 30ltr sub tank, you won't get very far! Thats why we said a standard main tank roughly 500g to a long range main 1kg worth of fuel.... I mean meat :D

Hey Matt, what's the shopping like in Gisborne?? Decent shop to buy food and grog??

.....on the move

[Bloodyaussie]

Full supermarket and anything else needed to keep you happy!!!!!

[jack]

Well my attendance is looking a bit shaky, really been looking forwards to this meetup and catching up with a few. I'll make every effort to attend the Saturday afternoon and may even bring two grand-kids along. I've been keeping positive for the last four weeks so not going to change now.

I've posted the following in the 'Angry' thread.

Four weeks ago I woke in excruciating pain, enough to have me rolling on the cold bathroom floor. Quick trip to hospital and a couple of morphine doses found me comfortable enough to have a CT scan which confirmed I had a 7mm kidney stone stuck just outside my left kidney. Because of the location I went on a course of medication for two weeks to try to get it to move into a safer position for removal. The medication was made up of some potent pain killers and something to relax and expand my ureter. Other than make me nauseous and light headed for about six hours each day it didn't help move the stone.
Last week I had another CT scan, Xrays and another barrage of tests and the stone hasn't moved at all. Now I'm booked in for surgery this Wednesday and still on the medication.
Still not sure what option they will use, I'll find out after the CT scan on the morning. Looks like whatever option they use I'll have a stent installed for a fortnight and the removal of that is going to be a whole different experience.
In life I've been pretty much bomb proof, only real surgery I've had was the removal of my appendix (removed at 7:30pm and went home next day at noon). Been looking forwards to the meetup on Saturday and I'm staying positive that I'll be out of hospital and able to attend on the Saturday afternoon.

[matfew]

oh wow mate watched my old man go through a kidney stone not very pleasant at all.

hope you can make it for a catch up. good luck.


Krisso yep plenty got a coles with grog shop or over the road is a pub n bottle shop to. if that doesn't fix ya up within 30 mins we have about 3 othwr towns with full supermarkets even a larger shopping centre so no issues with any of that. I'm sure the coles or pub will be plenty though

[Hodge]

Not long now. Looking forward to catching up and meeting new faces!
I'm horrible with names. Will be interesting how many names and forum names I remember. Lol

At this stage we won't be staying the night, but will try to. Hoping on getting there early on Saturday morning with my brother in law and 4 kids, we have the babysitting duties while the ladies are out, 13-8 years old.
Lucus30 I'll bring your battery tray down as well.
Looking forward to it.

[rusty_nail]

Forum name tags on shirts anyone?

its always fun meeting forum people for the first time, and it actually feels weird to call them by their real names... kinda like you introduce yourself by your real name and the other bloke goes "who?" and you say "rusty_nail" and they go "ahhhh, makes sense now" and then you are just known by your forum name, its odd but strangely natural... if all that makes sense...

I was just asking a rough idea on numbers to send to George for the meetup where cash will be the go.
If you won't be there then just pm me and we'll go from there. GQ windscreen I'm guessing?

[krbrooking]

Just thinking to throw it up over the spit if need be, if it dose not take up much room and is easy to set might be worth bringing.

Also just a thought I had the other day is the spit controlled electrically (prob) or batt. if so how many extensions will we need. I have three long ones.

what you on about Jonathon it gets you to my front door no problem. maybe some older gps units might have issues but the road and house has been there for 30odd years lol.

nic there is only a very small handful of houses on my street and I am the first on the left so I am guessing you won't miss the huge nissan patrol banner or the big fire or somewhere around 20 cars parked in a paddock lol
