Forward notice - 6th Unaugural - 3 May 2008

The date will be May 3, 2008. Please mark your calendars.

Given the number of aus.motorcycles people who have colonised
aus.bicycle (Zebee, Theo, Me, Lemmiwinks, Tex, Moike, Tim +anyone else
I've
forgotten), and the fact that I've done about the same number of km
aboard a bicycle this year as on a motorcycle, it seems only fair to
invite the aus.bicycle people along
as well.

In short, the Unaugural is an annual gathering of aus.moto people in a
paddock on my farmlet near Tarago, NSW. Weather permitting, we have a
bonfire of sufficient size to provide a reasonable simulation of
Armageddon. There is overnight camping, awards for various
achievements (such as longest distance travelled to attend), and much
drinking of alcohol and telling of lies.

Think of it as the best parts of fishing, once one gets rid of all the
useless folderol of lines, hooks, boats, bait and water. (And fish).

Here are some photos from the most recent event (the 5th Unaugural),
in May 2007:

Hoping to see some familiar faces, and some new ones, in 2008!

Well, I suppose I *was* dwelling in a shack out there for a couple of
years... ;-)

Ok, the calendar has been marked and the wife informed. I think the
bike is still as trustworthy enough? So in theory, I should be able to
attend this time.

Esh, that's a bit spooky, just this morning I was muttering to the mrs about
how BTH should announce the Unaugural date a bit earlier so we could arrange
leave.

Anyway, we still have to come and get our chairs back!!

 

I already had the date marked in my calendar. ;-)

See, much betterer.

 

I'll measure up the compost heap and report back to you this weekend.


BTH

 

I'm afraid I'll be the first to pike, again.

Theo

 

Oh well. Maybe you'll have some time to yourself when you reture? ;-)


BTH

 

Well yes I *do*, but I'd prefer to think that Bean is enough of a
Rugged Individualist to borrow Aaargh and carry his own gear. ;-)

And why are you piking, anyway?


BTH

 

What's a calendar? Are they useful?

 

I don't know about you but my 1810 calendar has been spot on this year,
thanks. Have to change to the 1828 calendar next week though. You can
probably remember them as if they were yesterday, eh Johno

Now a coopers calandar would be useful, it'd tell me when to drink coopers!!

 

Just looked on Google Earth, it appears it might have been taken after the
2006 Unaugural. I'm sure I can see the mower crop circles and the mowed
patch for the tents! Can definitely see the path to the dunny.

 

Weren't we in the shed for the 2006 Unaugural? Or was that 2005?

Clearly my mind is going...


BTH

 

In the shed, but the crop circles still happened!! And I made many a trip to
the dunny.
