Don't worry about it, I'll be driving down either Friday night or Saturday, got a friend I can stay with in Woden. May be we could do a small meet on Saturday night at The Golden Arches (maccers) with a drive through Civic and then the longer cruise on the Sunday?

Sunday 17th
Meeting Time: 12:30 Sharp, (Depart 12:45)
Our meeting point will be in the back carpark of McDonalds on Emu Bank, in Belconnen. The carpark is also the ten pin bowling carpark.
As stated in previous threads, we will be cruising to the Cotter via Urriarra, it should take 30 minutes. At the Cotter we will need to find a BBQ, I will bring some sausages... bread & onions... and other stuff... if any one wishes to bring some other things that would be cool...
After lunch we will probably drive to the NASA Tracking station, and might go up to Corin forest, if time permits.
Now, if you want to bring freinds or girlfriends that ok, just let me know so that I can bring extra food...
So far we have:
>> Boris
>> Jono
>> Grant
>> Dave
>> AJ
>> Robb (passenger)
>> Allan ?
>> DMX_bass ?
If you need to contact me, my number is 0414294590
Wet Weather Plans:
If on the day it rains I believe we should cancell the BBQ, and go do something else.... like have lunch somewhere indoors and then maybe go for a drive somewhere, that will be decided later on when we know the weather forecast.
