Hobart/Tas Tas Mini 2021 - 18th April

[Tasmoken]

A huge thank you to every one involved for organizing the 2021 ACL Tas Mini.
Too all the donors of the raffle prizes a big thank you.

I was lucky enough to walk away with 400 pixels donated by Etop LED AND Troy from Extreme Lighting Displays for topping me up with another wad of lights,
and I cannot forget RGB Sequences and Visionary light show,thank you.

The day was very informative and a good laugh was had by all in attendance.
I now have to get on with acquiring various Boscoyo props, a controller and all the bits to make it happen for 2021 it won’t be big, but it will be a start.

I am still buzzing from today, it was a pleasure to have helped with our Mini once again thanks so much to all the vendors that donate our great prizes. It was great too put a face to the voice on zoom. Hope all the new lighting fanatics got something from it which I think they did. Think Troy will do well in some sales. What can I say about Daryl what an awesome person to have met and I hope to catch up with him and the others soon. It was a pleasure to have done this. And Simon you are a champ thanks.

Hi all, thanks to everyone who attended the Tas mini, it was great to meet you all.

A special thanks to those who helped with the venue, making presentations, sharing information, participating in discussions etc as without you a mini doesn't happen.

For those who traveled thanks and I hope you all got home ok.

There was lots of great information shared within a short time frame, and I am sure some of you have lots of questions or after some advise and I am positive if you contacted the presenter they could answer these questions of offer some advise or feel free to contact me if you are unsure.

There was a couple of new people looking to enter this hobby and I hope we haven't scared you off
For a couple of those local to me, I am more than willing to sit down one Sunday afternoon or two and go through the basics regarding xLights etc / layout design / props etc and provided some advise and mentoring. I can do this at my place and also show you some hands on info to help you get up and running with your display. Just send me a PM and we can get this organised, hopefully sooner rather than later.

For a couple of you that wanted some specific info, maybe regarding the DC props animation again reach out and I may be able to set up a little zoom call etc and hopefully provide some more information if you would like.

I would like to thank all the very generous vendors who provided lots of great raffle / giveaway prizes inc.
