ok well its confirmed.
IVe booked the date in, and so now we have a lovely big Hall with a Kitchen and toilet block, along with a big ass campign area and flat area to use for the weekend! sept 30, Oct 1, 2 and 3. Its in a beautiful location only 5 minutes from the closest Public Transport and Supermarket, or 25 minutes by car from the Adelaide GPO. We can arrange transport to and from the site from the Bus stop given a bit of notice.
We've also bought a big ass markee to use as a 2nd learning area if the workshops get too big to fit in the hall.
I was thinking we could also have a bit of a party on the saturday night if people were able to chip in for a PA...
so yeah - if you are interested in something or doing something else - say so!
and yes - there will be a large campfire, and a big fire spin.

Hiya,
This is just a friendly reminder to let you know that I'll be making the badges for the Common Ground meet in Adelaide in a week, and require everybody's details to allow printing before then.
This means I'll need everyone to send me exactly what they want to have on their badge so that there are no mistakes in spelling, preferences, etc.
Please send me these details:
Real Name:
Hop Name:
Background colour preference:
Avatars are pretty much the right size and everything as they are, unless you'd like to send a better quality, though keep in mind they have to be relatively small. Also, those with either animated avatars or no avatar, let me know what you'd like.
here's a little preview
Getting everyone's details and preferences in advance ensures for better organisation, which makes everything run smoothly, which applies to everything really
Cheers, Lou

As you can see, this was signed by none other than Fallout's nemesis "Falloot"... He's a real evil character that Falloot, he had us all fooled...

I'll be taking along a small gas cooker type thing, and i'm sure i can get a saucepan of some description, so that'll be there if needed.

And another one to add to the list, My flights are booked, and I am coming to Adelaide, and I am chucking a Big Kev about it -
I'm EXCITED!
Ok, so most of you don't know me, except the other perth peoples of course, and Ben and Lex. But I have just read all 26 pages of this humungous thread so I at least feel like I know y'all!
Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Just a suggestion, it would be great if any of the locals had a portable gas BBQ to bring along, I don't think qantas will like me bringing mine as excess baggage somehow! And if there is a BBQ available, I will attempt a personal best, mega pancake cook-up on Sunday morning for as many people as I can possibly feed.
mmm. Pancakes.
Only three things are certain: Death, Taxes, and that England will not win back the Ashes in this lifetime.
