I would love to visit Mexico(Melbourne) again, just couldnt get enough Tacos the
last time I was there. Just Joking, Melbourne would be great, but I do think
Sydney is more central.............

June long weekend 2005 or even the Easter break next year.

Three days, I would attend all three.........

I think that the event should be non profitable, if we want the public to view.
I think it would only be fare to set a price to cover the expenses of Venue.

TLC Australia have absolutely no interest in us, at least this is from my
experiences, and I cant see their presence been any worthwhile. A bunch of wet
towels, sorry...........

I would be glad to give a hand where needed. If someone needs a sidekick or a
donkey to make a few calls and a few visits here and there, Im your
man..........

Absolutely, all AFOLS welcome.

Weve never dsone anything on this scale before and I think that if we are all
prepared for it, we cant go wrong.

Both

MOCs for a start.
An assortment of BL sellers.
Brikwars for all the Spacies, Castle and Pirate Fanatics.
A building contest on the day(s) would be great.
Trade/swaps

Probably mix and match.

Dont know.

Would be Ideal.

Bring on the Legends line and anything else from S@H.

Absolutely

Now this I would pay money for.........
