Next national meetup ideas

[liftlid]

it would be better if we had a meetup like the simpson as you get to meet other members that possibly you wouldnt normally, im just thinking somewhere central to make it easy and less travel for us poor sandgropers

What about setting a date and then putting out an expression of interest for numbers, seems little point catering for every state if only people from Victoria can make it?

The national meet up possibly should not be every year if your trying to make it special and the destinations should be set now for say the next 3 so people can plan holidays , car prep etc

I agree. I have had to put my holidays in for next year, already, and it's almost impossible to change my dates.

Totally agree that every year is too much but it took 18 mths to get everyone organised for the Simpson so now is as good a time as any to get things moving, so with that said where are we going? AB

AB can't run a meet up it's up to the form to sort out, maybe a couple of polls are need, date, place etc then promote

This is a hard one and I find a democracy creates so many issues whith no one being able to agree on a place and time.

The first meet I tried to arranged was such a mess but now I have done so many I know what to do and what to expect from everyone.

Far too hard to please everyone and agree on a place so maybe pick a place and just make it happen.

As its technically not a "Forum meetup" but a few people doing a trip together, I think maybe a poll can be organised to see where people would like to take a trip.

Then someone needs to put their hand up as a trip leader decide where he is going and invite people to join him.

I never did any input in the Simpson Desert Trip as I did not think I would be going but only 6 weeks out we found that we could go.
Others put input into the trip and sadly found out that they could not go due to their circumstances changing.

So its going to be hard to choose where to go to suit the majority now not necessarily who will actually go. Make sense??

Do you assist politicians with speeches?

[snicko]

Hahahahaha NO!! Is there a job going??

Unless your well heeled,2016 would be far enough out as to where you plan on going depends on time of year
and what weather conditions are like where you go and how much time off you need to do it
the big red rock is central could be a meeting place then travel to arnemland
kackadoo and dodge snapping hand bags and buffalo

or we could just go over and camp in stropps back yard and party there
