Melbourne/Vic Melbourne Mini 2021 - CANCELLED

[mikey]

Hi All!

Sadly we are going to have to cancel the Melb Mini.

We will hopefully try to find another new date in the near future when the current situation changes.

In the meantime happy Pixel Pushing!!

At this rate, it will be a mini in December and going to visit each other's displays.

Actually with the way things are going I'm hoping that we can at least visit and have our displays. Last year I had a much reduced display due to not knowing what was going to happen and this year with the Delta strain absolutely trashing things there is the possibility that things could go dark. That's only happened a few December nights here since 2004.

We just need to make sure we have the best shows at December because Victoria will need it

Hopefully we'll be allowed out to see them...
Either way, I want to put my show on this year, if anything to give myself a distraction, I don't actually care if noone sees it - this year is for me (at this stage!)

Just in case any Victorians were holding out in the hope that restrictions would ease somewhat and we could get together, sad to say that ship has sailed after today's announcements.

But my message to any of the newer members who were looking forward to meeting up, seeing products first hand and asking questions face to face, is please don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have.

This forum is built for that reason, to share knowledge and experiences across the community wide audience. The chat room always has someone around to get some instant responses from a narrower but still extremely knowledgeable few. There's of course plenty of videos on YouTube relating to FPP and xlights, as well as behind the scenes of displays. And for those on the Book of Face, the Unofficial AusChristmasLighting page is a great way to quickly share your images of build progress to either show off or get advise on.

So don't be a stranger, share your joys or your frustrations, we've all been there, and we're all looking forward to lighting up in some way shape or form this year.

Stay safe and look out for each other.
(Socially distanced) hugs, DJ
