Hi birddog, I'm definitely interested. Hopefully my D70s will arrive before that weekend, but even if I don't receive it by then, it's ok to attend without one, right? :) I'm a complete newbie to all this, but would love to sit in and listen to the more knowledgable heads.

cheers
Des.

Is there any words as yet on any special events ? Over the Xmas Party weekend ? Or will they be revealed close to the date ?

I thought I heard rumor of a organised shoot...? I've freed up my weekend in any case so I can attend, if something does go ahead...

:wink: Perhaps we can get Wendell to give a fashion shoot tutorial, we could enlist rockkstar to model for us ? :wink:

Cheers,

Ah, damn....

I too missed this till now - was mid-move...

Birddog, if any cancellations come up, please advise...?? I really need to learn how to clean my CCD - I have a feeling dust bunnies are going to become the bane of my existence...

I will be flying up from Melbourne on Friday for the Xmas diner and have arranged to fly home late on the Saturday so that I could attend my first ever mini-meet.

If there is any way you could squeeze me in I would be greatful.

Cheers
Deano - destined to remain a mini-meet virgin :cry:

Just a plaintiff, hopeful bump that perhaps a spot had opened up? Will be in Sydney and would love to come.... unfortunately with all my packing and moving from Korea, I didn't have net access when this idea was first floated....

I live in hope.... :)

Cyanide,
Sorry, it's still full, no cancellation as yet! perhaps next one is the last mini meet of the 05 on the 17/12.

Ahhh, that's a shame, but no worries.... 'twas worth an ask.

Unfortunately I am only in Sydney for this coming weekend, so I won't have the option of the next mini-meet... :(

Thanks for the reply, anyway, Birddog. Will check my PMs on Sat morning if I can, in one last ditch hope that someone might cancel... :)

Cheers

That's great birdy. It would really be a shame if two out of towners missed their first mini meet.
