MarkP Posted August 19, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Well it's been three months since the Melbourne meeting and challenge. Is there interest in a Sydney meeting in the coming months? Perhaps if those interested could each suggest three weekends perhaps after September that would suit we should be able to satisfy everyone. I'm more than happy to coordinate everything and suggest possible locations for another challenge: inner-city city, inner-city grunge (Kings Cross/Darlinghurst/East Sydney), Cabramatta (a bit like a trip to Vietnam without leaving Australia), harbour & surrounds (scenic/industrial), Bondi Beach or other costal areas, etc. Daytime or some night photography. Maybe even two days over the weekend at a few different locations. Regards to all, Mark Edited August 19, 2014 by MarkP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Hi MarkP, Take a look here Sydney, Australia meet/challenge - any interest?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
erl Posted August 19, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2014 Mark, sounds like you have some comprehensive alternatives proposed. Great idea. There is a possibility I may come but a more pressing opportunity is currently distracting me. More details later. Regardless, I endorse the idea to others in the wake of the Melbourne success from several months ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted August 19, 2014 Hi Mods, thread title still coming up as Melbourne instead of Sydney. Could someone PLEASE fix it? :confused: Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted August 19, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2014 I think there is a clumsy mod on the loose somewhere mark. This time it is fixed! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsheepdog Posted August 19, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 19, 2014 Well it's been three months since the Melbourne meeting and challenge. Is there interest in a Sydney meeting in the coming months? Perhaps if those interested could each suggest three weekends perhaps after September that would suit we should be able to satisfy everyone. Regards to all, Mark It sounds like a great idea, although, and harking back to our previous conversation, I obviously have no idea about the city I grew up in and left years ago. We are coming to the end of our time in Hobart, and will be traveling North, car, dog, pots and pans, heading back to Brisbane about then, so after synchronizing drop-ins with rellies and friends along the way, I would put dibs in for the weekend of the 11th and 12th of October. Owzat, umpire? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyeh Posted August 20, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2014 I'm an obsessive-compulsive lurker on this forum (doesn't sound good I know) but have never posted anything, not even in the introductions thread. I'd be keen though to join in on an LUF Sydney get-together and meet all you interesting people. Any weekend in October suits me at this stage, except Sunday 5th. Sunday 12th is the camera market in Ultimo if anyone is interested in that. As it turns out I'll be in Melbourne September 18 to 21 if anyone there is interested in a coffee or drink.

erl Posted August 20, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mark, your proposal sounds very interesting. I am virtually pre-commited for most of October. After that I have no commitments that will interfere with my attendance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted August 21, 2014 Perhaps we should plan for November for Erl, but then JD would you be able to get back to Sydney in November as the weekend you're suggesting may not work for me either.

MarkP Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted August 21, 2014 Hi Peter, welcome to the forum with your first post. We should try to get a date that suits you too Regards, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyeh Posted August 21, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 21, 2014 Thank you forthe welcome, Mark. Right now I'm good for any of those weekends in October, except for the one I mentioned. In November I'm booked up on Sundays 2nd and 30th. It would be a shame I think to miss out on seeing JD Sheepdog if October is the only time he can make it to Sydney.

erl Posted August 21, 2014 Share #11 Posted August 21, 2014 Mark, I would be wise to recommend sticking with an October date if that suits most. Changing it just for me may not work as I don't know my cirsumstances in November anyway. Also, I think to accommodate Peter as new member would be good. My circumstances are frequently fluid so I will still keep an eye out for the final agreed date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted August 21, 2014 OK but we still need quite a few more respondents. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsheepdog Posted August 21, 2014 Share #13 Posted August 21, 2014 Mark, While that weekend is an obvious one for me, as the ship I have been overseeing will be gone (please god, let it be gone, a year of nursing it into existence is enough) and we will be heading North from Hobart then anyway, I can try to make another weekend work. "No worries, cobber, she'll be right." We both miss Brisbane and our own poor neglected boat, and I will try yet again to retire. Whoopee! PS Can someone explain to me how to put a picture where you want it, rather than it placing itself at the end of the text? Welcome, dear visitor!

pyeh Posted August 24, 2014 Share #18 Posted August 24, 2014 Adespen, very hospitable of you. I'll be in touch via this thread or PM closer to the time. I'll have time to fill in while my wife is at a conference and after I've finished my own meetings. Do try and make it to Sydney. As Mark says, dates are open at this stage.

jrbelmuda Posted August 28, 2014 Share #19 Posted August 28, 2014 Hi Mark, just noticed the thread, Eileen (EllieBelle) and I would be fine for late October (she will be OS) or if earlier I will try and fit in with what you put together. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted September 2, 2014 Share #20 Posted September 2, 2014 Except for the weekend October 18-19 I am available. A Sydney meet is a great idea Mark. Gordon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
