Looks sunny and 31 Degrees until around 4pm when clouds start then possibility of a storm.
Ok Dauphinois AND Potato Salad made you ratbags. Bed is calling me now!

Yeah I reckon roll with it. Even if it storms they have been coming through after 4pm.

Is this the one ?

I'll bring some tent pegs, @kmcrosby78.
@Danielle, I'm surprised someone like yourself is not used to having moist clothes.
 

Was a bit weary today (on the oval for golf in this heat the day after a swimming carnival will do that .....) so forgot to grab what I needed for the casting comp. All good though, we'll improvise and aim at a laundry basket ...  Was going to mark where they landed with shot put markers so I'll think of Plan B.

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  

No it won't be a hamper just bagged up and taken to the Foodbank crate at Coles so anything at all eg. Tinned food, biscuits, washing powder, dog food, cleaning products, personal hygiene products shampoo, soap etc.

Agreed. Thanks for organizing what is set to be a great day @Danielle

@Do$tylz can you give me your email please and I'll shoot you through an invoice.  Still waiting for a few to pay and have purchased a stack of things. @Angus @fergie @Damien2Rad@Drop Bear
If you could all pay ASAP would be much appreciated!
Heres hoping the weather will be as lovely as it was today!

Count me and my wife in. @Danielle have sent you a PM.

I have just remembered... I have a bbq we bought to take to Bathurst with us sitting in the garden shed. Basic, but should do the job. I'll pull it out and make sure it works. Don't have a spare gas bottle at the moment though.

Ok, so it's about everyone except you then. I love pies and sausage rolls!

At a pinch I will make sure we have a BBQ. I have one I can bring it is just not huge for the numbers but we can rotate stuff through.

I will have some beers for entertainment. I have been told that can get entertaining...

This just in... I may be able to attend after all... as I am unsure I'll go for the non-catered option at this time.
 
@kmcrosby78 - left or right handed? Surely you could just change the handle around on any spin combo? Have a cheap-ish combo or two lying around if you need one... Braid only on my reels though?
 
Surely this is an opportunity for a savvy rod company to bring a few of their rods along to make people fall in love with them...?

Hot off the press - we will be having a casting competition on the day (so get practicing .... ). Is there a left-handed member that would be willing to bring a rod and reel to be used (just a cheap one)? I'll bring a right handed one, probably a 2500 size 2-4kg. I'll bring some markers to section off an area so that (hopefully) we don't hit any nearby children (although we obviously can't clear the whole park when it is @ellicats turn .......... ). Depending on how many kids are there we may be able to have a kids one also.

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!

@aussie123 if you have some stock from the store you'd like to bring along to sell and promote I'm sure we'd love to see it! @Madmic also please bring a few things maybe some neck/face covery getups and some lures?

I'll be there! Looking forward to it

Are we swap meeting this as well?
 
It might be worth posting what people might be bringing for swap meet so we all have some idea if so. I might do a bit of an inventory this weekend.
 
Cheers.
 
Angus

@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.

Oh and with what appears to be a few of the 'fairer sex' (mostly partners/wives) coming us of the fishing (tackle) obsessed nature better make a secret pact NOT TO MENTION HOW MUCH WE SPEND ON FISHING GEAR ..........

Kelvin you realise I have an obligation to disclose all activities to fellow women right? Check the T&C!

I have a table and one of those fold up gazebo things...Might be good to have some extra cover maybe?

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