September 16 is going to come along a lot quicker than expected so time to start finalising arrangements.
Motley is touring WA and will be catching up with IT Beyond shortly to get some of our site enhancements set up.
Included in these enhancements will be a registration page for those attending.
When it appears please register your proposed attendance as soon as possible so that we may plan accordingly.
In the meantime a bit of member feedback would be appreciated.
We have one afternoon set aside for the AGM.
So far we are planning a catered dinner on one evening, same team as last year.
I think that we should also have a entertainment night, similar to last year.
Hopefully our favorite, best, greatest, most generous, good looking, handsome and tall in the saddle sponsor will assist with a wine tasting. (If I let him sit in the Chev maybe)
Not sure about the full carcase spit roast, with the numbers now attending it is a lot of work for a very few people.
Some may not realise that it is a straight shift starting at 4 am for the pig cook and a 6 am start for the sheep cook.
Thinking of alternatives and suggestions are welcome.
Some thoughts I have are;
Spit roast but with boned rolled bodies. This cuts cook time to about 7 hours and makes serving much easier, particularly if we use bain maries. More meat can be cooked also, just means a bit of a re-build on the spit roast machinery. (Any stainless fabricators in the group?)
A group BBQ, around the communal campfire area.
If sufficient members are interested we can also hire a dance floor for the entertainment night.
As with past rallies I do not want things to become too formalised, just a great gathering between a lot of people that share common interests.
There is plenty do do in the Copeton/Inverell area, fossicking, fishing, bushwalks, tennis and golf at the campsite, a motor museum in town etc so nobody will be bored.
So if you have any "wants" or suggestions for our rally please post them in this thread.
Regards
Bob
