[Shed101]

I've started putting together some spreadsheets and plans of action together to get the horses and all the folks all the way to Gin Gin in time for the shindig.

First thing to check is the weather.

So I gave my mate Poula - she works at BOM a call to see if she could do some high-tech ball-gazing (yes InCider I said ball! :icon_chickcheers: )

She sent us this special video (apologies about the accent she's from the Adelaide Hills).

 

[bonj]

Oh kitchen gizmo!

Batz,

I am a definite confirmed swap attendee and swapper.

Re transport.... is there anyone out there who wants to carpool? If they do... can you come and pick me up in Kenmore? I'm willing to provide scintillating conversation, map reading services, beer opening services and fuel money.

Also Batz, are you ok with BBQ space? I have one I can bring if need be.

Cheers - Snow.

<edit> woohoo! Post 2000!

If you are in need of directions send me a PM, I have send out a couple this morning. If you are coming from the north there's a short cut that skips around the outskirts of Gympie, it'll save you 30kms or so, let me know if you want those.

Brewers,

Another :icon_offtopic:

I'm offering up this chrome Pluto for $35 before putting on eBay & if sold will bring it to the Swap for collection.
Works well but with the usual wear & tear scratches. Just what's needed for a party keg setup.
Anyone interested (Swap attendees or otherwise) please PM me.

Good buy for $35.00 Pete, could be handy for someone bringing a keg, so much nicer than a plastic jobie. If you get no takers stick it in the 'market place' thread, it won't last long there.
