Old Scaley

I literally did nothing, but thanks  
Was great to meet a few members in person at last, cheers to all for organising. 

Hey thanks so much for organising a great day. 
Thanks Danielle for super food and everyone for events. 

Thank you to everyone who came along, was a great day!
I do not want to thank you for not volunteering to put sunscreen on my back which is now lobster-like.
Special mentions to Wayne, Kelvin, Steve, Peter, Sam, Benno for the help, unloading, loading, cooking and equipment!! Team effort couldn't have done it without you all.
Look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

Heya @Old Scaley we have 30 people RSVP'd and this afternoon began the chicken marinating. 60 chicken drumsticks is a LOT of chicken by the way. Everything is looking under control so rewarding myself with a few wines this avo. I have a list of around 750 things to take with me including tongs  

How are the numbers looking @Danielle?  Also, do you want me to bring some tongs for the barbie or have you got that covered?

@Danielle Henry is do$tylz. He hasn't been posting much lately.

I will do anything to distract myself from the folding pile...
Created a sign to put up next Sunday so you know where we are. Hot Pink features to grab your attention (plus I know it's @ellicat favourite colour).
Given it a macabre twist... Because I can!

It my pleasure, you guys have all welcomed me with open arms and helped so much with my tedious questions and comments haha. Not to mention being offered Deckie spots!
I don't do things by halves!

Huge kudos to you @Danielle for the amount of thought and effort you have put into this. I think the site has a new social convener.

Bring along any items you wish to sell or swap, I will have a table for you to display them. Please label with your name and a price if you wish to sell.
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Darryl the BCF Manager at Underwood we have some awesome prizes!! I've put together a little Trivia Challenge for the day.

@Old Scaley & @kmcrosby78 this was my reasoning for sourcing a BBQ because as well as waiting for a BBQ and hogging it from other people needing it they are never hot enough for sausages let alone a nicy seared steak! No judgement but if you like your meat stewing in juices and water with a grey appearance then this event is NOT for you. Yes it's a BBQ trailer including a BBQ... Am about to give Mick De Brenni (my local MP and Minister for Housing AND a fellow school mate) a call to see what he can do.

So does the BBQ trailer actually include a BBQ? Are the BBQs at the site those electric ones that never have enough heat to cook a sausage in under an hour? If so, it would be good to have an alternative. Thanks for organising all of this, Danielle.

I'm sure there will be a lot of us fatties there. Oops miss read it

Ha! More luck catching a flattie!!!

Bring your cast net, you never know what you might catch. If u r looking for a tall man go the 8 ft net. 

Can I bring yours then ?

Can I bring a mates Mrs?

Just a bump for this one. Would be great to see a bigger crowd. Bring mate, mrs, kids or whatever if a solo appearance seems daunting. 

Many members may not be aware but you can customise the activity stream on AFO to suit your own liking.
If you click on the main menu 'Activity' tab (Step 1), then click on 'My Activity Streams' (Step 2) you are given the option to create a new stream (Step 3).

You are then presented with the options to create a new stream. This 'stream' is the list of activity on the site, and so you can customise this so you don't have to see all the activities, but just the ones you're interested in.

So if you only want to see topics and posts that are about sharking that you haven't read yet and that has been posted in the last 7 days, you can create that!

 
After you create your new stream you can then also set it as your default stream if you want. You can also rename and delete it.

If you set it as your default stream this is the one that is at the top right of the screen for easy access for you to just see the content you want on AFO.

There are so many options in how you can customise it, so hopefully this will allow you to make AFO more personalised and focus more in showing you the content you are interested in.

I can bring a fold up table as well.

Good work on the potential lucky door prize - bonus!!  I'm Ok to bring an esky - I'll PM you my phone number and just buzz me before the day so I know how many/how big (I recently acquired a fairly big one but it may be too big - have other options though).
The park gets pretty busy with kids birthday parties (we're having our son's there in a couple of weekends time) so I would suggest we bring at least a couple of tables between us plus everyone bring a chair. I've got one fold up table I can bring. Anyone else?
Oh and I've got a severe allergic reaction to small plates of food .........   

Only 3.5 weeks until our Christmas Do... 
Reminder, ALL WELCOME! Newest members please come along and meet some like-minded fisherfolk. If you wish to just stop by that's great, if you would like the catered lunch check the first post in this thread for details.
I have just been down to BCF to shop with my voucher for playing the game (went crazy... Pkt of Mullet fillets, pkt prawns and a red bull haha)... The manager and I always have a bit of a chat and there is a possibility of a LUCKY DOOR PRIZE WHICH I hope to secure this week!
Now for logistics... @Angus will we need some tables or if there likely to be one available on site? 
Could someone please bring along their big daddy esky? I will bring the ice... @kmcrosby78?
I haven't heard that anyone has any food intolerances or allergies but if you do please advise!
If anyone is planning a morning session out in the bay beforehand and you have room to take anyone along speak up, perfect opportunity for newbies to go Deckie. 
Hopefully the weather will co-operate but watch this space on the day for any updates.

All paid, Danielle. Thanks for organising.

The secret is out - he is worried if someone else baits up with a banana in his boat they will catch a bigger unicorn!
