It sounds like there is genuine interest.
Count me in.

I guess the next question is the
time frame. Traditionally (if we've been doing it long enough to have a
tradition) we've used long weekends, as that lets people coming by car from
further afield travel on Saturday, meet on Sunday, travel home on Monday.
Unfortunately there's a bit of a shortage of long weekends between now and
Christmas.

How important is it to people to use a long weekend?
I guess not so important for Sydney people, because it's a relatively short
drive...(or train or bus ride) but then, I'd be taking the family and making
a long weekend of it anyway. (Note that Canberra is easy to get around, and
there's plenty for NLSO's to do). Accomodation tends to be relatively cheap,
and there are lots of options.

If so, then the
Australia Day weekend next January (assuming it is gazetted as a long
weekend -- the 26th is a Sunday this year) will be the first opportunity.

While that sounds a long way away, on the other hand, we probably don't need
to hold a national event every month either. 2-3 per year is probably
plenty.

Well, Australia Day in Canberra certainly won't be too cold for Mel! ;-) ;-)

Cheers

Richie
