Month has gone by since the last get together, and as agreed during the last meeting next one is on 10/02/05 at 7pm.
Thought a change of venue..... pub too noisy.
New venue BBQ near the windsurfers car park next to kids playground on melville beach road.

any new items for the agenda..lets keep it minimal! post here or email me.
See you there
Mike
Ps bring food and beer

Hopefully these meetings will minimize the number of people like Mr 04 rhino yesterday.

nothing imparticular, just thought he would stand on the beach in the launch zone kite overhead doing jumps for the appreciative(not) crowd

mainly to bump ....
Venue may change folks ????
keep an 'I' on the forum for details.
Everyone must have noted the complete change in the nature of the kite scene at Melville - ITS ALL GOOD
AND - (as far as I know) not one 'incident' since it all started - pretty amazing from the pre-meeting average of 1 a day.
AND - (as far as I know) not one complaint or 'unwilling to accept' from anyone who has been informed of the guidelines on the beach or water.
I reckon its an outstanding result - far better than anyone expected it would be - 2 simple guidelines and order has replaced what was fast becoming mayhem.


"He who enjoys most - WINS"
