Thread: D3/D4/RRS Pub Lunch - planning for weekend away

Bump - Yes it's tomorrow at "The Ranch"

If there is anyone on the Southern half of Sydney that needs a lift - I'm happy to pick you up on the way!

I should be able to attend if I don't have an emergency trip to Melbourne.

We were at Bylong in May, if we got similar numbers as the last weekend I would say it is a bit small, however if there less than 20 it could work.
It is a good place for gymkhana type events but limited for touring about.

Bruce offered to lead a trip into the National Park for us then reneged as his mum was sick, if we could get him to do that for the D3/D4/RRS weekend it would be worthwhile.

See you there!

Me too!

Thanks to everyone for the enjoyable lunch! There were a few options thrown out for where to go for the weekend away. I think everyone was in agreement that Lake Lyell would be the best place to accommodate everyone. Being able to book the space is a major selling point. Another is that it is only a couple of hours from Sydney - so getting there on a Friday after work is no major drama - assuming the never-ending roadworks don't interfere!

There are then several places we can drive to within a short distance - Jenolan SF, Sunny Corner, maybe a day trip over to Hill End for lunch at the pub and then back. So I hope we can arrange a few reccies to these places and organise something that everyone will like between now and when we actually have the big weekend.

That leads me to the "when" part... I think everyone agreed that September would be the best time to hold it. Another factor is that NSW school holidays start on 20 September to 5 October. So I think a poll on what date suits everyone would be a good idea. (Mods - some assistance with this would be appreciated - is a new thread required?)

Cheers,
Rob

Sorry I couldn't make it. Had intended to be there, but was invited to a performance appraisal meeting and since it was my appraisal I thought I probably should go:-)
Lake Lyell would be good.
If I can help with reccies or anything else please pm me
Cheers
Mike
