Submitted: Wednesday, Jul 02, 2008 at 11:49

Sir Kev & Darkie

Weel it is now a week away from the official start date and peopel are on the move already to get there.

I have sorted a few more things out for the gathering.

I have finally bought the raffle books (12 in total),
I have aquired the name badges ;)
The donated raffle prizes from Kim have been picked up,
Gone Bush has been sighted in Mexico and has a collection of EO merchandise for prizes from the EO heirachy,
I have to throw a few of star pickets in the trailer for the EO banner (and the QLD Flag) hehe,
Kiwi needs to be reminded to take the Trivia questions with her (don't forget).
DesLexic should have organised organised the Raffle permit,
John T has a collection of prizes for his fishing, casting and horse shoe throwing comps,
I hear Willem has a new bottle of Barbed wire.
The King Toad has left his roost and is on route to reclaim the QLD Flag.

Looking forward to meeting everyone out there.

Cheers Kev

Thanks for the reminder about the raffle permit LOL As it turns out, we don't need one looking at the Minor raffle Conditions
I just need you to write the draw date and time and date on every ticket. Have fun

I think that you can get away with writing it on the front cover of each book if you have concerns that the lotteries inspectors may pay you a visit at the minka

I reckon with the bunch of characters going to "The Gathering" next week, it might be a tad quiet on the Forum and lots rowdy at Mincka.

Looking forward to the trip and the camaraderie.

Hi Annette, (and Bill)

We're leaving Saturday and staying at Copley CP the first night.
Sunday night at Cameron Corner, then six nights or so at Mincka.
That's the plan anyway.

With you guys trekking across the Simpson, we will probably not catch you this trip:-(

Have a good trip regardless.

G'day Kev


Yes mate, only 3 more sleeps before we leave.

KIWI - don't forget the trivia questions LOL, You bringing other goodies for kids KIWI ?????

Nissan was serviced yesterday (this trip is already costing a fortune), have the Trak Shak in the driveway with nearly everything out of it - repacking for this, it's longest trip to date. Will erect it briefly tomorrow and make the beds. My co driver and I are going to go over everything tomorrow morning and then go shopping- meat is ordered and will be collected frozen and cryovac'd Friday morning to go straight into the freezer in the TS. 60 litres of diesel, 80 litres of water and 10 litres of ULP are loaded.

Rear window protectors (corflute and velcro) were fitted today - about $20.00 total.

Yes I have show bags for kids prizes (20 bags or thereabouts so all kids win hehe), bottles of wine for big people prizes for both fishing, casting and horseshoe comps. And I'm sure somewhere west of Bourke I'll remember that I've forgotten something.

All travel safe and see you there

Cheers

Well half packed will depart tommorow 11ish or first up friday morning (more likely). Would have liked to get off early tommorow but as usual relied on others and was let down so have to sort it out tommorrow before I leave (dammit).

Thought the King was not leaving till tommorrow must have got his ass into gear to get pack :).

Had not looked at taking any fishing gear hmmmm was working on firewood and rum.

Have a safe run everyone, see you all there.

Yeah I was aware of his planned meet with Bruce unless he got his ass into gear as of yesterday he was looking at either Thursday for a Friday departure.

I'm already two days late from leaving but Friday is a sure bet.
