Hi All, I've been wanting to attend the Aust' N.G. Convention since it began but personally I find Easter is a highly impractical time to get away. I'm sure...
Hi Glenn, You're not the first to raise this subject. The answer is always the same - volunteer to join the committee organising a convention, and then lobby...
My apologies for the off-topic posting but I figured that the people on this list might be a great untapped source of information about old tools. About 30...

Modelers This subject comes up every two years, it is placed at Easter because the other times are already taken but other functions. No matter what time you...
I agree with Steve. This discission has been going on as long as any function has been happening. Plan ahead, as no matter when it happens, someone is not...

G'day Prof, The fact that the Sydney Convention accommodated single day attendees is a real plus and I hope that the Brisbane Convention also affords the same ...
Dear David, Modellers, I can't speak for future Convention teams, but we (Sydney '09) came to a "one day rate" based on our calcs of the costs of holding the...
Hello Ian, I hope you and your Mum & Dad are all well. Great that we can be sure that the 2011 Convention won't be hijacked to the other side of 'wup-wup'...
