I missed out on last years Xmas case due to a few issues and have not long come back from six months in Iraq so will not be able to do anyhting for this year either (I sold all my gear before I went anyway) but i would love to attend and have a beer with you guys.

OK all sounds good. Sqyre I am still bringing the jerky and if you want me to bring the BBQ let me know.
Michael, those nuts and bolts you had at Bindi's place were terriffic and would not go astray.

Ok I've just booked and payed for my flights so I'm comeing down for this thats for sure.
After about an hour on the phone with the very helpfull people at virgin they have advised me that while it could be possiable to bring 26 bottles of beer with me, ariving at the airport with 26 bottles of homebrew in pet bottles could cause some Delays in the security area h34r: and it would be better if I had a sealed comercial carton.. So I'm out as far as the swap go's. They did say 1 or2 was less likely to hold things up.. SO if there is a spare or 2 on sunday I might try getting one home...

As for seafood thats fine and you can read about that on their web sight ..A sealed esky and sealed ice bags ... So I will bring a box of nice fresh local prawns. I'll slip out in the boat in the week befor a grab them from a local trawler.. No probs ..

$20 bucks sound fair to me .

Can someone with more skils sort the list out to show me as an attendee and not a swaper , thanks..

Looking forward to this it will be good to meet a few more of you..

:beer:

 

[winkle]

Sqyre,
this sounds really great, do you have space for me & trouble+strife and a tent? It would be good to meet some of you lot. I can bring yet another keg if required. :chug:

FNQB, Glad your coming, will be good to meet up. Tried to hook up with you last time I was working in Port, when Zwickel was out earlier in the year, the week of Cyclone Larry. Was to meet him in Port but he was held up by the slycoon and we didn't get together.

Pitty about the beers, I'd pack em in a commercial carton and glue it all back up, put a baggage tag and fragile stickers on it and bob's your uncle.

Party Animal!

FNQ - Don't take the prawns to the swap. You, I and the Hollywood Showgirls can eat them Friday night I'll adjust the list in a minute but I'll bring an extra brew for you and any other Reserves in the Swap. Maybe you can use the same couriers as Ross to get them home?

All this talk of supplies and no one has thought of the obvious...

Has Batz got enough stickers to go round???

 

[PistolPatch]

It's been 76 posts since the last list update. What can I say?

This one has moved Bunyip as requested and whacked Batz in as a definite...

I think vjval1974 and Wildayeast should assume they are in and brew a beer. The worst you guys can do is not get as many beers back as you bring. Brew on!

Hoops, there is a ? beside you but I can't remember why? Be nice to clean that up so the list looks tidy though!

I don't remember saying I was a definite,you must know more about power stations than the rest of us.

Batz

 

[Ross]

Also brizbrew & winkle are attending.

[PistolPatch]

Looking ok for me at this stage,I have to go to Calide Station next week and believe that maybe it for the year
I have brewed my Scottish already,need to bottle next week.

Batz

I think I got the idea from that post. I just imagined you are definite unless an unexpected shutdown pops up which could be at short notice.

Bags not do the next list update :unsure:

[Brad_G]

wooo hooo.

im in

 

[Aussie Claret]

I know the feeling Jye about bottling, will be bottling mine tonight, it's been sat in the fridge for a couple of weeks until I could get around to it, all the bottles soaking today and labels all printed and ready to go. No red bottle caps for me, you'll have to suck it and see.

Tastes very nice from the hydro samples.

[Batz]

We may need a list of "Drink now"or "Drink later" as well,I am not going to get a chance to bottle till after the next shut.

Batz "Drink this year otherwise it will explode"

17. C bconnery- ESB

Drinkable by the time the swap comes around.

Drinkable now actually, I've only got one non swap one left

 

[browndog]

Being an aviation quality inspector and all I have to comment that I have noted Brissybrew is on the list twice. Once at 20 in the swap as Brissybrew and again at 31 attending, this time spelt as Brizbrew. Are these two different people or a double up ?

cheers
