Fund raising for AULRO

[V8Ian]

On Saturday, after Inc, Pedro, Pop and the Suzuki driver left, Steve and I realised we had a mutual desire to raise funds for AULRO.
My preferred method is to hold a Trivia night. I think Bald Hills would be a reasonably central location and I am prepared to act as quiz master.
How many people could be interested?
Open to all suggestions re venue, date etc..

If Inc doesn't need the dosh we could direct the profit to 'Ian's retirement fund'.

[Hogarthde]

Very good idea Ian, should be a hilarious and entertaining event......and may I suggest ,as a venue, The Longley International.

[V8Ian]

I did consider that pub Dave, but it's a bit far for we mere workers to travel on a weekend. Of course, plenty of time for retirees to wander north. ;)

[Hogarthde]

I am astonished by your knowledge Ian. A first class quizz master you are.......

Not many South Islanders know of which we are referring .......perhaps not even J.C.

We are talking Huon Road aren't we?:confused:

[Hogarthde]

Affirmative.

[nismine01]

I'm all for Bald Hills, it's where the new freeway interchange is.:angel:

There are some nice wineries in the area too.:cool:

Just need a date and time.

If I can make it I'll be a definite starter :p

[austastar]

Hi,
Listening.
Cheers

[V8Ian]

I suppose we should run it past the boss before we get carried away.
What about it Inc?

[incisor]

sounds like an interesting night out....

go for it!

[V8Ian]

Oh well, there goes Ian's early retirement. :(

Who's in?

[Ausfree]

Could be interested, Ian. Would love to catch up with you banana benders again. Depends when it is held. Count me and the missus as a "possible".

[pop058]

How far ahead are we thinking TD5QM ?.

major events in Late March, late April, early June and late September/early October to name a few.

[incisor]

with the advances in technology we could have a live multi state night...

How would that work? Would a complete IT novice like me be able to work it out? :D

Broadcast live, Australia wide on your ABC. :D

Technology - Yes

Forum users - ... :angel:

[incisor]

we just need one IT literate at each site...

surely that isn't tooo big an ask..

skype and a group (video maybe) conversation isn't pushing too many limits..

?

[Pedro_The_Swift]

:angel:

unfortunately those advances also include access to something called the Internet,,
which is VERY good at trivia games,,
in fact the Internet is so good, they actually ban it from trivia nights held in public places like Pubs. ;)

[pop058]

When? My 2017 diary is filling fast.

Good point - it's wrecked the trivia nights I used to go to. Even though it's banned, most still sneak a peak at their phone.

If there were groups in each area, we could all keep an eye on everyone else in the local 'team'.

looks like the local group here will be at Bytemarks place then. :D

[Pedro_The_Swift]

How many seats in your shed Inc?:p


or!

on my new best mate Steve's back verandah:o:wasntme:

[Sitec]

This all sounds quite interesting... How the 'interstate' bit is going to work I don't know, but I'd be in for a SA meet up, and would help where I could.. I'm Apple literate, but not a Microsoft fan.... Re locations over here, it would have to be in the hills somewhere west of Adelaide.. That makes it in reach of the northerners, the southerners and the City slickers... Birdwood Lobethal area...? Maybe if the 'local' moderators within each area 'police' it... Long overdue an SA catch up!! :)

Expecting a long night Pop? :D

[LandyAndy]

Once its official Ian,perhaps an "official" email could be sent to AULRO vendors asking to help out with prizes for the evening????
Bloody great idea Ian,I hope you manage to pull it off.

Mate, I can pull the Q & A bit off, the national hook up is well beyond me though. :o

To reassure the less studious than Toxic Avenger or LionelG, there will be a number of different categories, with the emphasis on general knowledge and common sense rather than tertiary qualifications.

[carlschmid2002]

I live in Canberra now but I will make sure that I am in Melbourne that weekend to bat for the Mexicans. Perhaps the mods could umpire to ensure no cheating.

I'd really hope we can rely on each others integrity, we won't be playing for sheep stations.

[Redback]

Really has it come down to "don't mention Marree" look I'm happy to donate or raise funds BUT!!

No offence, we need to pick a place AND time and have an National meet, stop ****ing around and do it.

:twisted:

[pop058]

Got have some fun organizing it :)

[Redback]

I look at it this way;

Are people going to be excited about a national meet'

YES

Will people come;

YES

Will people miss out;

YES

Will people have fun;

YES

Will people have a long way to travel;

YES

Is it worth it:

YES

Will I go;

Hell Yeah

Not one negitive comment so far, anyone else want to say anything in the negitive:confused:

Maybe start a separate thread.......that would get things rolling

Just thinking

Defender Day attracts 50 cars
Winter wombat gets a good turn out
D3/D4 weekend goes alright
Cross border gathering had a couple of good years
There is an annual ANZAC Day gig
Probably other regular events

Maybe 2018 or 2019all the above events get rolled into one....

[Redback]

Sounds good Kelvin.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

or we could align it with the next Official LR Anniversary:angel:

As much as I'd love to, my leave is all booked up until March 2018 now so no chance of fitting anything else in. :(

Sales trip?:angel:

[Dark61]

your'e all welcome down here - bring your tools:D
cheers,

Unfortunatly not - the East Coast has 3 people doing what I do for Vic, SA and Tas. Obviously they aren't as good as me, but still a bit hard to pull that one off. :D

Saich was telling us of his power woes (I think he's sourcing from SA ;) ), I don't think he'd deal with just any old salesman, he'd insist on a Land Rover tragic, hire consultant. :D

[Tombie]

We could have a "Cards against humanity" night.. that'll open a few eyes and shock several..

back in pommy land in the early 80's there were a lot of groups opposed to Thatcher funded by various left wing local authorities. My favourite was "Islington Gay Window Cleaners Against The Cuts". Maybe we should form a sub division of AULRO - I'll throw it out to you all as to what we would be against.
Cheers,
D

[V8Ian]

I was just talking to Saich about the tourist attractions in Eromanga and he suggested that the next trivia night could be held there.
No excuses Bigbjorn, it's on your side of the Brisbane River. [biggrin]

[V8Ian]

Saturday 2nd of November at Samford as per the previous Samford meet.
It's no longer a fundraiser, purely social.
Meet at 6.30 for a 7.00 kick off.

Indian Food in Samford - Indian Pepper Restaurant &Takeaway (http://www.indianpepper.com.au/)

The other two restaurants in the complex are burger and beer and pizza and pasta.
BYO

[DiscoMick]

Apologies in advance. Might be about a thousand Ks away.

[V8Ian]

Going on previous form Mick, I doubt it will affect your championship chances. :tease:

[Saitch]

Ian, would the 9th instead of the 2nd be OK with you and others?

[V8Ian]

Fine by me, have you double checked your social calendar? [tonguewink]

[Pedro_The_Swift]

That might be why he asked for a change of date..... [bighmmm][tonguewink]

[V8Ian]

You coming Pedro? You can take the short cut through Brendale.

The food, company and night out was really good... [smilebigeye]

no reason to think anything's changed...

FLINDERS!!!!

[V8Ian]

I'll slip one in for you, mate. [bigrolf]

[V8Ian]

Who else is up for it? Or are Pedro and Di going to blitz it uncontested?

18:30 09/11/19, at the aforementioned venue.

[Tins]

So much fun for the rest of Aus.

[ChookD2]

Sounds like fun but I am working both days that weekend. [bigsad]

They're closed before we start. No excuses mate. [smilebigeye]

[DiscoMick]

[V8Ian]

Will the island hoppers be back in time?

[V8Ian]

Got a couple of ring-ins to challenge us, a Tojo aimer and a Nissan steerer. Last time at this venue, the Toyota bloke did rather well, particularly with the more obscure questions.
Any more Landy lads or ladies? I'd hate to see the Japophiles show us up. [bighmmm]

[V8Ian]

This weekend, who's in? Inc, Pop, Brian, Bob?

[V8Ian]

Please bring paper and pen.
