Emergency !

[gstark]

Or something like that?

Simon (Manta) and his family are in town for a few days next week - 4th - 8th inclusive - staying in Milsons Point.

Who's up for dinner, perhaps a photoshoot, or something like that?

Suggestions, please.

[Sandy Feet]

I have the 7th off and now live in Neutral bay so could well be interestd

Cheers
Rod

Simon busy weekends and the evening, but available weekdays, either for a coffee to say hi and orientate you or more if you like. I can understand the trials of balancing family requirements

Are you at The Vibe or Milson Apartments?

[Alpha_7]

Bugger I'm leaving on the 4th - 12th to Batemans Bay otherwise I'd be very keen.

[Kyle]

Could be up for a shoot

[gstark]

Glen,

The Vibe.

Sunday may be slightly problematic for us, in that it's my mum's birthday that week, and that's the day she's holding her birthday party. Evening on should be fine.

I was thinking in terms of a Sunday sunset shoot followed by a dinner at a pub somewhere ...

[Matt. K]

Sounds like fun! Keep me informed and I'll do my best to get involved. Simon...if you have a room at the Vibe facing onto the railway station you can get some great snoop shots at night! You will need a tripod and the 80-400VR.

[macka]

Pat and I would be up for something in the evening.

[Yi-P]

Bugger, I wont be able to make it any of those weekdays and I have something planned on the 6th already...

[Steffen]

I'm very interested, however I'm away till the 5th. On 6th of Jan there's a wedding of some guy called Figaro, but I'll be free from the 7th on.

Cheers
Steffen.

[gstark]

OK ..

Thus far we have ...

Rod
Glen
Kyle
Matt K
Kris and Pat
Yip?
Steffan
The Starks
Mick and Donna
Jeff
Andre
Chi
Geoff


Sounds like a start.

What about a Sunday afternoon/evening stroll through The Rocks, finishing with a pub dinner?

We should be finished from my mum's lunch well before 4, so we could, say, meet around 4 or 5 somewhere under the Bradfield.

Earlly starters might want to take in the Rocks markets beforehand?

Does that sound like a possibility?

[Oscar]

I'm in.

And my beloved will join us (if not for the shoot) for the pub tucker.

Cheers, Mick

[trotkiller]

I'll be there, maybe plus one with her P&S

I won't have net access from tomorrow for 2-3 weeks as I am moving....

[macka]

Sounds good to me.

Time to dust off the tripod.

[MHD]

I'm .. .. .. Unavailable

[radar]

I've been looking for an excuse to get some nighttime photos of Sydney, this sounds like a good one

Cheers,

André

[gstark]

I've noted Jeff's mobile number so that he can be kept appraised of the details.

The markets run from 10 through 5. My thoughts are that those who wish can wander through the markets from whenever till around 4-ish, at which point Leigh and I should be there, and we can then meet at, say, the upper end of the area where the markets are held, and then we can start our formal wanderings.

SHould still be lots of light, there's a couple of pubs close by with some trad jazz as well - the bands play till 7 - so no shortage of things to see and do.

[Manta]

Woo hoo! Sounds like it's going to be great! I'm really looking forward to finally catching up with you all. Sunset sounds like the perfect time too. Thanks Gary for organising this.

[Onyx]

I'm in - someone plz remind me closer to the date so I don't forget... (I'm getting old)

[Matt. K]

Sounds good!

[gstark]

Chi,

It's in the calendar on the front page. Just add it to your cellphone's alarms.

[sirhc55]

If you are old that would make me ancient

[Glen]

Definitely in for the shoot

[Geoff]

I too will be there, all be it sleep deprived but I wouldn't miss this for the world...well actually, for the world...I might.

Be great to meet you Simon and I might even get a shot (or PANO!!?!?!!!) to hang in our unit that I've been wanting to do since February!

I'm excited already. Cheers my fellow camera buddies!

[gstark]

Ok, this is looking a great event.

I've just updated the list.

[Oscar]

Don't know what the weather forecast is but hope we get a good evening for this. Become a bit like Melbourne lately - never know what to expect.

Gary, do you know any of the bands playing on Sunday?

See you all there - those attending that is.

Cheers, Mick

[gstark]

Mick,

Robbers Dogs are at the Fortune Of War hotel from 3 till 6, and I think there may be a couple of other regular, but unlisted, gigs in the area.

We'll be there around 4 or so, I expect, following my mum's birthday bash.

Everyone else still coming?

I should give Simon a call and see how he's enjoying Sinneytown.

[Kyle]

Out for the shoot now

Summernats tomorrow, gf sunday, camera at home in it's bag resting

[Geoff]

I aim to be there, but it depends on if and how much sleep I get after coming home from work at around 8:45am.

[macka]

What time and where exactly are people meeting?

[Geoff]

Can I propose that those don't want to meander through the rocks markets from 2pm (not me as I'll hopefully be asleep)...then the rest of the gang meet at/outside the Orient Hotel at The Rocks at about 5pm-5:30pm? We can meet, then meter hahahahahahaha...

I won't be able to meander either as it's 2nd xmas lunch on Sunday. So 5-5:30 sounds good.

[gstark]

What time and where exactly are people meeting?

Rocks Markets, after about 4.


0403 967 113 will be my number for the event.



Late starters will be accepted as long as they bring a note from their kids.

What if we don't have kids?

[gstark]

What if we don't have kids?

Count yourself lucky?

[Geoff]

That means we are very likely to be unlucky in a few years?!

[Nnnnsic]

Heed the advice of MS DOS if you do not wish to be unlucky:

Abort, Retry, Fail

[radar]

I'm still in. I'll likely be around the markets around 2 or 3 and if I still can't find anyone, I'll look for a sleepy Geoff at 5 at the Orient

I'll be the whole day in Sydney. I'll likely be along the coast walking in the morning. If I can get up early, I may even try a sunrise around OH.

Looks like a good day coming up on Sunday, look forward to it.

cheers,

André

[Onyx]

Fark, it's a good thing I came on here.

/reminds self

Looking 4ward to it all.

[Manta]

Hi all!

Just quickly checking my emails from the hotel PC....
Team Manta will be there when we can - we haven't decided what we're doing yet but I'm sure Stephanie and the girls will anjoy the markets so I guess we'll meander across the Coathanger in the mid-afternoon.

Gary and a few others have got my mobile, and I theirs, so it's all good.

Oh and thanks for the weather you've put on for us Sydney! Just like Brizzy but without the humidity!! My daughters want to move here and have already picked out their harbourside residences. Why let reality get in the way of a good plan??

[Geoff]

Should be a fun afternoon/evening Simon, looking forward to meeting you.

[Sandy Feet]

Hoping to still attend, have to go to a gig at Middle Harbour Yacht Club from 1.30 - 4.30

So will contact Gary when I make it

Cheers
Rod

[Shoot]

Hey guys,

If there are any spots left i wouldnt mind taking a few shots, and coming to meet some of you guys.

-Rob.

[Matt. K]

Sooooooo.........market, pub, evening shoot. Sounds Good! Look for the Lowepro minni trekkors.

[Geoff]

Hi guys,
With regret, I can say that it's highly unlikely I will be attending this afternoon. Apart from work being crazy, I have a few family circumstances that I need to be around for. I am really sad I wont' be able to go, but thems the brakes. Have fun and take LOADS of great shots and post them up!!

[wendellt]

5:00 at the orient sounds good

i only have leighs number so ill call him when i get there
see you then

[Steffen]

Regrettably I couldn't join you guys tonight. My wife had made other plans, and didn't tell me...

I hope you had a good time and look forward to some piccies!

Cheers
Steffen.

[spasmoid]

Yay, I have an account

It was really good to meet everybody. Hopefully I can come out to more of these events.

[Geoff]

Hi Spasmoid and welcome. You've posted some nice pics of the afternoon/evening on your flickr site - well done.

[Oscar]

Good to hear you have access now Terrence. Welcome to the forum and enjoy.

It was a fun afternoon once again. Got to meet a few more of our members, catch up with some I had met previous and even took a few shots! (hope a few turn out)

It was really good to meet Simon who was down from the sunshine along with his lovely family. We had a good turn out. Simon, you need to come down more often so we can organise regular meets

Cheers, Mick
