David

[rellik666]

19th is great for me too.....don't have much time left between now and xmas! :eek:

Thanks for replying.....

[essaytee]

I would like to turn up but can't commit to dates at this time. Will keep a watch of this thread.

Roo

It has been awhile since the last meet, but cant make it.

Am going on Holidays to USA all November

Chris

[geedee]

It would have to be a Sunday for me and depends on a start time. Will keep an eye on this thread.
Regards
Geedee

[Boo53]

Either the 19th or 20th would suit me (prefer the sunday but could cope with the sat).

I'm currently on holidays so not entirely sure what's waiting for me at the office but unless there's something dramatic I should be ok

[bluey1960]

Can't do either weekend, already booked up. So, I'll keep an eye out in the future.

Have fun!

Diane

[Lindiwe]

Not sure what the schedule around here is for November, but either the 19th or 20th may be possible for me. I'll check with the better half, and meanwhile will be keeping an eye on this thread.

[rellik666]

Contarary to the poll, it seems that Sunday 20th is winning, will leave until the middle of next week before confirming.....

You can choose more than one option in the poll!:D

Chris, have a great holiday, will have to have a post Christmas meet! :th3:

Roo

[fastr1red]

So far I'm ok for either 19th or 20th.
I've got 2 paying jobs 5th and 12th so 19th or 20th will be good, (at this stage) Keeping an eye on the thread and will confirm closer to the date just in case.

[ApolloLXII]

Can't really commit to a date just yet but will keep an eye on here and try and work my way around my commitments in order to attend whichever date is chosen.

[broc]

At this present time either the 19th or 20th is ok with me.

[hectic3]

I would prefer the 19th, but I can probably do 20th as well.

Thanks.

[rellik666]

Ok, lets do the Sat, meet at 5pm on the 19th, on Southbank.

Meet at the Corner of Queensbridge St and Southbank, near the big red steps and the Sandridge "traveller" rail bridge.

Sunset is at 8:15pm.

If people want to meet for a bite to eat first, I suggest maybe the Blue Train Cafe a bit further along Southbank.

[CapnBloodbeard]

Sounds good, I'll be there. Mind if I bring a friend along who's just getting started in photography?

[rellik666]

No problem.....bring whomever you like......:th3:

[Cheach]

Thank you Roo for organising this meet. Will try to make it there by 5pm.

Cheers
Rob

[fastr1red]

Sounds great, will try to get there.

[David W]

See you at 5PM on the 19th.

[broc]

Will do my best to be there or at the Blue Train. I guess tripods will be the order of the day/evening?:)

[CapnBloodbeard]

Definitely :-)

Should be fun, been quite a while since I've been able to make it to a meet.

[Tjfrnds]

I'm in Sydney that weekend, so will be an apology. Have a great time guys!

[Boo53]

Unless something unforeseen pops up I'll be there at 5pm also

[Lindiwe]

This is looking possible for me. Put me (plus one extra) down as a 'maybe' on this one. Should be able to confirm closer to the day.

[5hogun]

19th aye? There may be an auction I am going to.... but would love to come along if its off. I might confirm closer to the day.

[Kenji]

I can do either 19th evening after 6 or 20th.

[rellik666]

Yup, defo bring a tripod if you have one!

If you can't make it at 5pm, feel free to catch us when you can get there.....will probably still be in the area around 6.

[ApolloLXII]

Ok, I'll be there too. I'm planning to spend half the day in the city doing street photos so I'll make my way to the meet point by 5:00.

[mrsgrumblebum]

I haven't been on the forum for months & I have missed the forums . I wish I was able to make the meet on Saturday but we have the works christmas do on.
Hope everyone has a ton of fun. Look forward to seeing everyones photos.

[CapnBloodbeard]

So should we do a roll call of numbers, just to get a rough idea? Probably should pass around a phone number of two over the next few days as well.

I'm definitely in, and bringing my newbie friend too :-)

[rellik666]

Looks like we have a group of about 20 so I would say maybe 10-15 on the day.....

my phone is 0400149787.........

I will be at the Blue Train from about 4pm.

See you all on Sat......

Roo

[CapnBloodbeard]

Awesome, decent sized group. Looking forward to this - haven't been out in the city for quite some time, and I haven't made it to an AP meet for....god knows how long.

I apologise in advance if I've forgotten any faces :P

[Cheach]

i'll be there and bring a friend as well.

Cheers
Rob

[hectic3]

I'll be there at around 4 but can only stay till 6:30 or so. Looking forward to meeting everyone :)

[CapnBloodbeard]

Oh dear, the weather isn't looking kind...

[rellik666]

No it is looking pretty rubbish right now.....!

We will still be there and play it by ear. Looking like the worst of it will have passed by this evening though....see how it goes...we can always just find some where warm and chat! :th3:

[CapnBloodbeard]

I should be getting there about 4:30-5ish
phone number's 0403788176 - Jason

[essaytee]

Okay, I'm in, be there around 5 pm. Will be my first time to one of these meets.

[bdparker]

I was going but it's toooo wet for the bike :(
Next one

[broc]

Its wet and miserable so I won't be making it. Its a pity the weather turned like this.

[ApolloLXII]

If anybody wanted to know how the meet went in Melbourne photographically, this is what the conditions were like. As you can see, Melbourne really turned on it's usual style of weather. I showed up a bit before 5 and took this just to prove that I was there but decided to call it quits and head home seeing how the likelyhood of any sunset shots seemed remote at this point although I did manage to get a couple of street shots which I'll post in the appropriate forum when I've processed them. I would have loved to have hung around to see if anybody else showed up but it takes around 45 minutes by train to get close to home and a half hour walk from the station to actually get home so my apologies for not sticking around. If we have another meet in the city on a day with better weather, I'll definitely be there. :th3:

[Lindiwe]

I actually made it into the city today as well, but the weather was horrendous. I didn't even get to Southbank, or take the camera out of the bag. Sorry about that. Hopefully next time the weather will be kinder.

[fastr1red]

Yeh I was up the the Yarra Ranges very early so I could make it to the meet. The rain was very heavy all the way, I said to the wife we've got to get back to Southbank by 4. Well it never let up, so decided not to bring the gear out into the rain.
Hopefully next meet with better weather.

[Boo53]

I was heading out to the car at about 3.00 but didn't like the look of the weather & its a 1 1/2 hr drive each way, so decided not to risk it.

[rellik666]

Yes, well surprisingly there was 9 of us that risked it......but yes it was horrid.....:(
