Sydney/NSW 2018 NSW Mini at Picton - May 26-27

[Benslights]

yeah and i think if we keep it to a bbq we can keep the cost down to maybe even $10 person for 1 or 2 days. so if you come for both days you get 1 day free

 

[lithgowlights]

Yeah I'm about 2.5 hours to home, so still debating the additional $ and night, as we are away 2 weeks before in Port Macquarie, so $ might be a bit lean lol

 

[Benslights]

ok so the menu is

Saturday BBQ - bunnings style
Sunday minute steak sandwiches

now to sort out drinks people lol

 

[Derf]

I'm bringing a couple of cases of canned soft drinks and if I can find my large esky I will have that and Ice.

Can we setup a google spread sheet just so we don't have to scan through 11 pages of thread? Just a basic table with items, quantities, whos bringing it, etc
(I can do it just want permission if we all find it an easier idea)

I'm staying Sunday night, just because couldn't be bothered with 3hr drive home Sunday evening.
Bringing missus, so maybe dinner and a few wines at the hotel restaurant. Maybe book a few tables for everyone who's staying there?

Hi Oz the restaurant is not open Sunday night I believe it will be open for breakfast and lunch though, there's a bowling club and pub only a few minutes away though

 

[Benslights]

derf happy for you to setup a google spread sheet but we normlyy just put the info all on page 1 as you can see i edit it as the info comes in

For the topic list. How to buy sequences, use sequences, where to buy them. The free sequences....

 

[Benslights]

thanks Bryan this has been added.

Can everyone look at page 1 again and look at the topics as we have a list going and not all have presenters and we would love some new presenters for any of the ones that do not have a presenter next to it or if you have another topic you would like to do please let me know so we can add it and you to the list.

Thanks TByrne

Are there going to be door prizes this year? If so then I want to donate a cuplight sphere like I did at the 2016 Adelaide mini. It will be around 56 cm across with approximately 148 cups. I'll make it in two halves and cut a hole in the base of each cup so you can add your choice of lights to it. In my display I use traditional LEDs with two lights per cup and viewers keep asking where I bought the whole thing from.

This is a way for me to say thanks to the ACL community. My display wouldn't have been anything like it is without the help and support from this community.

This picture is a previous one that I made so that you can see what I am talking about. It is made entirely with cable ties and plastic cups.

Hi @i13 Yes there will be prizes, lots of them; some from vendors, some from people like you and me who just want to give back to the community.

 

[Benslights]

13 do you have a picture with it light up so i can add that to the prizes presentation
