I know this is the same weekend as JOTA/JOTI – But we will have computers hooked up to the Net for those who want to have a chat to someone in Lichtenstein, or wherever.

The venue for this unbelievably awesome extravaganza is on Cut Hull Rd, Kangarilla (Where our country den is located). The cost is only $15 and will include Saturday lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast, soft drink, juice and to cover the the cost of using the land, den and cow! You’ll have to bring you’re own hard stuff, sleeping bag and a tent if you don’t want to sleep in the den.

To participate in the gambling side of things, you’ll need to “bet” on a square of the field for only $4. If the cow drops a pat in the sqaure, then you will win a great prize. There will probably only be 16 squares, so you’re chances are pretty good!

RSVP by the 1st of October to me, Simon – 0428 713 500, or contact me using the form here: http://flashrovers.com/contact-us

Well, we havent forgotten about you and what’s happening this Friday – I have all the details you’ll need right here.

It’s a bowling night at Cross Rd Bowl (Cnr Cross and Goodwood Rd’s) and it’s BlackHawk V.U. Vs. Flash Rover Crew. The night will start at 7:30 at the bowling place and we will hopefully get bowling not long after that. Once Flash have finished beating BH, we will move over the Rd. to Maccas and the night will finish there at 10pm. The winners will be the team that has the highest average score for each bowler (This way, the number of bowlers in each team will not affect the scores unfairly.)

I made a deal with the guys there and we get 2 games, shoe hire and chips and a drink – all for $16.95 (serious bargain these days). Please bring this money to pay on the night.

PLEASE contact me if you have any troubles and we will work them out. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there – hopefully there is a bit of a challenge. I also hope that you BH people will have a chance to meet some of the guys from Flash and vice versa. Dont forget to RSVP

Thanks,

Just quickly a reminder/proper details about this Sunday/Monday (12/13 March). As you may have found out, the hike has been cancelled due to a lack of numbers, but the movies/pizza/socialising on Sunday night and Crew meeting on Monday are still happening.

People are welcome to come to Hawthorn Scout Hall (11 Egmont Tce, Hawthorn) at around 7 on Sunday night. We’ll be getting pizza for dinner, so bring along some $$ if you want to be included. It’s DVDs, snacks, drinks and merriment all night and everyone is welcome to crash the night. BYO whatever you wish.

The next day we’re looking at checking out the den (which will hopefully soon be emptied of Hawthorn’s stuff …) and brainstorm some ideas for it. Also, we have a couple of other things (fundraising and what not) that we can talk about. We’re also looking at probably running another election for the next executive, so if you think you’d like to take part in that, further discussions will be held on the wknd. Fees will also be discussed, so you’ll know exactly what will be involved. If you can’t sleep the night, come to the hall at around 9 or 10am. We’ll be finishing up around lunchtime, but feel free to come and go if you need. We can go down to Maccas, Subway etc or Woolies for brekky, or otherwise bring something along for yourself … cornflakes, froot loops, bread, haggis, whatever …

Please bring your member forms if you haven’t already so we can get everyone registered.

Make sure you check out the programme, especially the details on the week at the Bogong Rover Chalet in July (cheap rates end April 1 … that’s $275 for the accomodation and food for a whole week!! I’ll be looking into other costs soon, ie. transport and ski/boot hire, but probably looking at $500-$600 inclusive of everything). Also, Anton’s rogaining looks like it will be a great thing to do and a great opportunity to get out there and do something.

Anyway, that’s all from me, hope to see you on the wknd.

Cheers,
Dylan.

Unfortunately the planned hike to Deep Creek during the long weekend has been cancelled due to lack of participation, me and Graham are both very dissapointed. The movie night and den work will still go ahead, with for word in a while about times and so forth.

On 25th March, there is a Rogaine on in the south of Adelaide. For those that don’t know, a Rogaine is an orienteering competition. These are very popular for developing navigation and fitness. This is only for 6 hours so it shouldn’t be too strenuous. Even though it’s called a race, most competitors are not going for prizes and we would have it easy in the Junior category, though we can just do as much as we want to do. Forms need to be in very soon, by the 10th of March, so can people please respond if they want to go and we can organise it from there. Team sizes upto 5 are allowed but if we get that many we could consider 2 teams. Checkout their website for more detail…

Be Happy

For those of you that liked the map I gave last time, I’m here to outdo myself. For those of us that have Google Earth, download this file and you can see exactly where we’re going. For those of us who are less techy, here’s a map on street-directory.com.au and for those of us that are completely old fashioned, I believe the address is First Floor – 140 The Parade, Norwood. It’s near the corner of Edward Street

Please RSVP to Graham – even if you can’t come.

If you’ve never been there before, here’s a map to help you find your way.

Please RSVP to Graham.
