Unaugural 9.0 - 2 month warning

The date will be Saturday 7 May 2011. According to Nev this is a few days
after the new moon, but he's too much of a miserable old bastard to bring
his new "computerized telescope with 127mm Matsutov-Cassegrain optics"[1]
with him. Please mark your calendars.

In short, the Unaugural is an annual gathering of aus.moto people in a
paddock on my farmlet near Tarago, NSW. Weather permitting[2], 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 some of the more recent events:

Hoping to see some familiar faces, and some new ones, in 2011!

[1] Which would have been substantially superior to the crappy little
Newtonian telescope I asked Tim C to set up for me last year, but there
you go...
[2] It's pretty much a certainty that this year we won't be affected by
fire restrictions.

 

Noted, diarised.

ME TOOOO!!!!

 

Apparently, I still have a leave pass ...... SHould be there as well

 

Time to start planning a Melbourne-Tarrago route. I've got Friday and
Monday off, so I have some options....

Moike

 

Show of hands. Jingellic or Tumbarumba on the Friday night?

Nev..

 

either all

mh

 

Slight preference for Jingellic. IIRC Tumbarumba was a little cheaper.

 

+1

mh

 

That sounds like fun - can I go with you guys?


BTH

 

Wonderful idea, can I tag along too ?

 

Of course. Both places are a nice ride from your place.

Moike

 

Of course. Do you snore?

Moike

 

That's why I go on trips on my own, my wife hates me snoring
Will that be of a concern ?

 

No, but if you don't then you'd be weaponless against the other snorers...

G-S

 

I can only go on what I have been told,
I don't believe that I snore, because I have never heard myself.
I think it may only be a ruse for her not to sleep with me and go to her
sisters place to sleep.
Odd that, I never knew she had a sister till about three years ago

 

Hmm-might have to turn up this year.
Been a while...

Pat

 

An addition for the joy of a lot here,
I will not be attending the unaugaral this year.
Got put off the road by a 4WD on a tight bend and broke my collar bone
Should make a few happy

 

Wonderful idea, can I tag along too ?

No, it shouldn't.

 

You obviously don't know this lot very well Peter.
