Sure, I'd be up for a meet

But I'm going away in early July so that limits my possibilities.

Norm, how are your safe lights going?

 

[quokked]

Sure guys why not,

The Only new Light I have now is the E1b though

When are you back Paul?, it doesn't have to be really soon.

Safe lights are great, even my wife has pinched the orange one.

Gee I have lights that have come and gone since the last meet :devil:
Still have new stuff to show

 

[Grox]

I'll be back in the second week of November.

(I may also be back for a weekend in October)

My m6 now runs a mn61 on 3x17670 and it'll soon have the bi-pin holder so I can run 1185s. Not the brightest or smallest of lights but at least it's rechargeable now Other than that I don't think I've got anything new.

E1b sounds interesting!! I hear the output's actually closer to 120 lumens?

And Norm you've always got something surprising up your sleeve

You'll be away for 4 months??!!:thinking:

I'm in...just set the place and time... I reckon it will be nice to drive up to Warragul this time if its a small group of 5-10 and we can car pool in 2 cars and all chip in for the fuel.

Hopefully after tax time, I'd have enough to get the W.E Boxer HID light I've been wishing for the last 6 months...:naughty:

Hi Norm,
I'll be in it--enjoyed my first get together with you guys and now have an Amondotech N30 to show off. Also got a Dereelight CL1H 2SM recently.Going crosscountry to Warragul would be fine-probably light up a wombat or two on the way home.
Stewart

 

[Fusion_m8]

I can't wait to see a real life comparo between Stew's N30 and Norm's Boxer in Aussie outdoor conditions.:thumbsup:

 

[Grox]

The night of Saturday June 21 would be the best for me.

 

[quokked]

I'm up for the 21st of June good time for planning and i'm up for a winter BBQ

and :bump: to this thread

 

[Fusion_m8]

21st is good... so are we going to Warragul?

Hey Norm, any dark open spaces in Warragul??:laughing::laughing:

 

[Norm]

Warragul has some nice parks, I'm checking out venues tomorrow. I was wondering how people felt about meeting at a restaurant for tea prior to the park meet?
Norm

 

[Fusion_m8]

I would say its a good 2nd choice to a BBQ

Warragul has some nice restaurants - well at least it used to

I vote the Courthouse - expensive but nice :devil:

I'm also in need of a 6P (or head) - can anyone help me :mecry:

 

[kiwiman3139]

Restaurant would be nice but will go with overall consensus--i'm easy to please.
Sat. 21st is fine.
Stewart

 

[kiwiman3139]

Hi Guys, Have found a link to menu from The Courthouse--looks nice.

[Norm]

If it suits the program for the 21st will be, meet at the restaurant for dinner, torch meet possibly at Civic park (I have to go out to night to see how dark it is) and then cake and coffee supplied by Norm at Norm's place.
Norm.

PS need to establish numbers to make the restaurant booking.

EDIT just looked at the Menu, surprised not to see steak (maybe I missed something) as the Courthouse is owned by a butcher. Just noticed the Menu is old and it has changed owners. I will try to get some more up to date info.

Further Edit Warragul Map Just been to look at Civic park, some street lighting and some lighting in the park, the rotunda is lit, very nice park. If people want absolute darkness I can find a location further out of town Civic park is just around the corner from the restaurant. Restaurant location 72 Smith St, Warragul VIC 3820, Australia - Google Maps
The green area on the same map as the restaurant incorrectly marked LaTrobe Regional Hospital is Civic Park, at the end of Civic Place.

Think I'll order the grilled swordfish or the veal...:thinking:
