Well what a Weekend!.
Great to see those again that we have met previously, and good to meet those I have only met via interwebthingy.
A few specific thank you’s.
GG. Glenda, even the locals are talking about the “voice”. They thought it was all a pre-taped session, and were very surprised when told the vocals were live. Please put up a thread so we know how to order CD’s.
Lost, the sight of the night glows floating above the old oval were amazing, and the kids loved it. Thanks for organising. A fitting winner of the two solar panels.
Big Jules, Mandrake, Swannie, Poppasmurf, Brett & Jillsy, Flanders, GGPatrol, (must have forgotten someone) thanks for all the raffle prizes. I originally thought we had sold three books of check tix, but we actually only sold two, so our fund raising estimates on the night were a bit high. In the end we will raise just under $850 for the RFDS. Xcavators offer of Bobcat/excavator/tipper hire still stands, which can add to this sum.
Thanks to everyone for your generous donations to Bob Bretherton, local custodian of the Kelly Tale. I didn’t count it, but I reckon he took away well over $100 and was very happy with the interest all showed, particularly the kids. I will be presenting him with a copy of the group photo and a stubby holder.
Of which, junior swaggers, well done. Your self organising of the Dog Show was another great example of swagger ingenuity shows that fun can be had without an Ithingy.
To all the Furballs, well done. There appeared to be only one conflict of personality, I still don’t know why K-dog doesn’t get on with Zac? Swanne, next time you bring Coco(lossal), please don’t fully charge her before you arrive!
Crisp Image, the group shot looks great, thanks for keeping on reminding me that we needed to do it. Not so sure about your shot of me in the scrub at Powers Lookout tho! Looking forward to more, as I have said, I didn’t have time to take anymore after Friday morning!
Mystree (Fi), thanks for Bandaging the cut, its lookin fine!
SHMBO, Carmel, Gorgeous, etc, thanks for keeping me on track for the weekend.
To everyone, thanks for coming along to something suggested by a relatively new swagger. I trust you had a ripper time, be it your first time or tenth time out. IMO thats what its about, if you know somewhere well, put something up, and, as the saying goes:
“Build it and they will come”
Finally, thanks for leaving the grounds in such a great condition. You would hardly know we had been there. You now know where it is, you are welcome back anytime. You better be quick tho, as it will be listed in Camps 7 when it comes out, so every sucker will know about it soon!
See you next time, if you want to do it again sometime in 2013.
Alan & Carmel
