WOW,
Almost daily more want to come along... thinking the long haul from Bathurst will be more than worthwhile indeed. :D

Margaret, your requested details sent to your email as supplied :)

Eds, dont think on it.. JUST GET THERE yah mad chook  :o

Romany and regross, would love to meet you both too.

Robert & Karon are looking forward immensely to meeting you all..   Was soooo envious of Dougmc with all you girls last year that he is not getting away with that again this year  ;D :o :o

to whet your taste buds for the meeting, I have here a thought provoking image.  The attached pic is a menu aboard the RMS Austral, December 1890  ;D :-X :-*

Cheers,

Hi Guys

I have only just realised I am not getting notification of these posts  >:(

Wonderful news that so many of you can come  8) 8).  I am really looking forward to meeting up with you all again, and meeting all the new folk  ;D ;D.   How many is it so far now Magaret, have you counted?  And will the new decking hold us all??  ;) :D

Hi Lones,

yep, I'm counting :o

Still haven't heard back from a few that came last year, but will send them another pm when time gets closer.
Sorry you haven't been getting notification, I should have mentioned it to you, but then again ....

They start on the deck next week, yippeeeee. We have decided to pull down the old pegola too and put another in its place matching the deck/pegola.
The person who came out to do measurements said it could handle 20 people.
 ;D
i have been busy cleaning up the yard in readiness, and still had time to cook a lamb roast, and do a couple of photo restores 8)

Thankyou to all those who have sent me pics for my little project.
And for all those who haven't, hmmmm, you know who you are :-*
Remember, a pic (only) of a place your ancestors came from, be it a church, village, farm house etc.

cheers

Sorry Eds, appears that Little Meg is being a bit slack.
I thought I had sent you a pm, but checked my outbox :-[

I have now sent you a p.m, really ;D

Now I will check and see who else I have missed, please, if anyone has not got my details p.m. me.

just for the benefit of sharing  ;D if everyone from last year comes, and all those who have said they are coming .... we are looking at 28 max thus far :o

Should be a massive, and wonderful event.

Hi Margaret

Can't wait to get together again, it is really looking like being a big event this year.  How big is this pegola going to be?  By the rate we are going, you might have to build over the neighbours yard as well, to fit us all in  ;D ;D.  Do you think they will mind?.....  8) 8)

Cheers Lones, (at work, awake and bushy tailed)  :D :D
