Bob.

Dubbo.
Alright, Brisbane.
But only if Dubbo isn't available.

Brisbane is nice in June.

Up to 3.

3 or less.

Yes, there should be a fee. How much I'd be prepared to pay depends on what's on
the schedule.

Who can tell. Dubbo's not a very big place.

Yes. What sort of involvement do you have in mind? At the very least it would be
neat if Jake McKee, or someone like him, with loins suitably girded, gave a
little talk.
> Would you like to help organise it? If so how would you like to participate?
Yes, I would like to help. My skills include heavy lifting, sarcasm, and a
tendency to forget where I put things.
> Would you want it to attract others from other nations?
Sure. Why not?

It would be AUSTRALIAN!
> Who would you like to attend?
Both
> What would you like to see at the event?
Lots of Lego, and people having fun.
> How should it be organised?
With the minimal amout of heavy lifting.
> What sort of Audience should the event attract?
Everyone
> If the event turned out to be a success, would you attend another?
Of course. Every year it's held.

Yes.
Oodnadatta?

Sure. Now that I've got three or four plates of the new grey, the rest of my
collection is useless.

Don't know. Can't be bothered looking it up.

I probably wouldn't buy any, but show me as a 'yes'.

What stuff isn't available to anyone with enough determination and cash? I might
be interested in any discontinued sets they might have lieing around the
warehouse though.

How about a timed mini ISD build?

ok.

n/a

please explain?
