BBQ & Carving Day at my place

Post by Chris Di Nola »

Hi everyone
The date is set, 29th November 2009. Anyone that would like to come please PM me with your attendance & how may of you there will be & what you will bring for the BBQ, i will need to make sure we dont have 10 bowls of potato salad ;), so you might need to change your seleted dish. I will send my address & let you know the kick off time.

If you just want to come for the day & not work on a tree, you are still more than welcome, the day is about meeting other members, working on our trees & having a good feed.
To all those members that responed to my last post about this day, please let me know ASAP so I can start to work out things.

Looking forward to seeing you all
Chris

A little bit far for me at the moment but I am sure we will be able to do justice, to a pint or two of Kilkenny, some time in the future.

Righto you blokes (and that is the non-sexist use of "blokes" too) that's enough people interested. The sound of 50 routers, die grinders and dremels all going at once would drive Skippy's neigbours mad.
If there are too many there I will learn less about carving and eat less sausages!!!!!!!

Pup, I will keep you to your word on that one mate Ill even shout, but do you mind if I drink some single malt ;)

Watto, dont worry about the neigbours, they already think I mad for talking to my trees & watering at 10 or 11 at night, so I think they will leave us alone as for the tucker, Im Italian when we cook for the family Somalia could be feed for a week. :lol:
By the way Watto if that BBQ friend of our does not come, he better move state or be in hospital.

Wish I could mate, your a legend for organising. I'm stuck with kids birthday parties.

Have a good BBQ and quite a few drinks (after attacking the trees!)

Tech
Whilst walking through the forest of Bonsai Myths, I found a single small tree.
From it I learned all I needed to know.
