Newly Enlightened
OK Folks, I am going to make a meeting happen in South Oz in 2014.
I am looking at two dates:
Weekend of Saturday 17th May to Sunday 18th May or
Weekend of Saturday 26th July to Sunday 27th July
I am leaning more towards July, it will be one of the two above dates as these are the ONLY two weekends that I am not working next year (Sad but true), I will make the final choice but will take into account others preferences.
As far as I am concerned the colder, the wetter and the darker the better
To attract a wider range of like minded "Geardos" I would be considering a more general interest group including:
If anyone else has any relative demonstrations or sessions they would like to facilitate then I am more than happy add to the weekend.
Not looking at any sort of formal program but a flexible guide to the weekends activities would be something to help plan the weekend around.
I would like to include a bit of a swap/meet - buy/sell.
I have got quite a collection of bits and pieces that just sit around and could well be of use to others.
To make things interesting I am thinking of some activities to test our lights other than just throw and spill demo's (actually putting them to use to find/identify objects & targets?). I do a lot of team building activities so you will have to excuse me.
Now before I go spending a huge amount of time and some dollars organising the weekend I need to get an idea if there will be some people attending?
As long as I can get about 1/2 doz + then I think it will be all systems go.
So far we have:
1. Ozgeardo
2. Son of Ozgeardo
so 4 more to go and it is ON!
Tentative location will be Mt Crawford Forrest but I am not going to book or confirm things just yet.
If it looks like we have numbers I will make booking before the end of this year.
Catering will be bring your own everything, there will be a hot plate and billy on the open fire.
I am fine with some alcohol and I have no problem with happy drunks telling tall tales but I do not and will not tolerate anyone spoiling the weekend. :devil:
If staying overnight bring your own swag/tent/hutchie/basha or bivie etc.
I would most likely be getting there on the Friday night.
Do I have any interested players? :thumbsup:
Cheers

- Torches (Flashlights for you foreigners)
- Multi-tools & Knives
- Tactical/Survival and BOB gear
- Field equipment including navigation gear (GPS's, compasses etc)
- Other interesting geardo & gizzmo type things.
