OK Kerry I stand corrected
Perhaps I have not been as involved in the Lego schene as I once was?
My appologies for the sand paper.

Peter,
The archives of this LUGnet newsgroup are littered with calls for people to
gather in the name of Lego, including the first ever Brisbane meeting at
Mark Harrison's place (he offered his home as a venue on 22 Sept 2000 in
this very newsgroup). Since Aaron probably doesn't have everyone's email
addresses, he could hardly have emailed everyone.
Aaron's first mention of the meeting at his home was on 21 Jan in this
newsgroup, some weeks prior to the gathering. And up at Ipswich Railway
Museum the week before Aaron's meeting I mentioned the meeting at Aaron's
(whether or not you were there at the time I cannot recall) but certainly a
couple of those present responded to me saying they wouldn't be able to make
it.
So I don't think there was any lack of notice or information about the
meeting, but perhaps you didn't pick up on it as you were rather busy with
moving house and doing your display at the library around that time.
Perhaps we should organise a meeting up at Ipswich in order to show off the
layouts once they are more established. Tim Gould brought some of his trains
to Aaron's, which I think you would like to see. And Aaron had some
excellent castle work which might be useful in a display; I was particularly
impressed at his external and internal detailing -- somewhat reminiscent of
Mel's style.

Well Well
what a strange way to organise a BRISLUG get together??
Normally every one has everyones Email and sends out an invitation as we don't
all spent our hours of leasure time on LUGNET.
As a matter of fact I can't even remember seeing this guy (Aaron) at any of the
last regular meets.
When did we meet you and invite you to BRISLUG as a member??
How many showed up 3??
Perhaps if you want to organise a meet you should go about it the old way and
email all members to gauge a suitable date and venue. When you have the answers
you then let it be known on LUGNET so that non members know it is on.
Mate we have had some fantastic meets in the past (almost 10 years if my memory
is right) when we had up in the 15 people area (when they are done right not
just out of the blue)
I can even name some who where at the very first meeting at Mark Harrison's
place many many years ago when we where called BUGS.
Tim was there, so was Mel (now in Germany), Gary was thereI think Kerry missed
that one, I think Ken Wilson was at that one, Tarra was at that one too.First
time I met Aaron Coghill from the South Coast. Tim has only just come home from
England so a lot of water passed under BRISLUG bridges since he was at any,
perhaps he should refresh his original contact list before he left it certainly
would have helped you.
Your enthusiam is good you just need to plan better.
Remember an old saying that I picked up in the "Green Machine"
"Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance"
Hope this may help you
A find out all the right contacts
B organise a meet much better and with heaps of people.
Cheers

omg I can post again! A flood of confirmations just came through for my many
attempts at posting over the last couple of weeks.
Thanks heaps Tim for sorting it out for me in the end. A great time was had by
all & it was great meeting you guys. The MOC presentation was top-notch too =)
Hopefully we can do this again soon - like not in another 12 months! - & maybe
get a bit more structure happening next time, that or beer, I'm good with
either.
Cheers
Aaron

I went and I had fun! Many thanks to Aaron for arranging it.
It was a small meeting with an awful lot of MOCs on display. Aaron has some
pictures up (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=300462).
