OK, so we've established that theres a bunch of us that would be keen for an AKFF Annual Trip.

I'll open a poll as to preferred location. Once this has been decided upon then plans can start to be put in place. So if you are keen to come along please nominate your preferrerd location (please ONLY vote if you are reasonably likely to be able to attend).

The idea is to get as many of us in one place at one time for a bit of yakkin, socialising and fishing. So based on that criteria the venue with the most votes will be the one selected. Any comments etc welcome. I'm sure there'll be plenty of members that are happy with a couple of options - if this is the case can you submit your choice in order (eg 1-SW Rocks, 2 - Port Stephens etc).

We will aim for a decision on venue by 1 December. Then we can start working on preferred dates etc.

So, as Clint EAstwood would say....."Go ahead, have your say"

 

[Peril]

I voted, but really am not fussy. Date will be most important. The Australia Day long weekend will be good for me.

BTW, we should start thinking about the next one after that. Its been six months since our last and this one isn't happening soon. Maybe another bass session if there's any water left in the dams?

I might just add, although Batemans bay is closest for me......I am not to fussed where it is.....I will be sure to make a trip to this thing!

 

[paffoh]

I could do any weekend trip if it was under 4 hr, my preference would have to be the Batemans Bay area ( Or anywhere between Nowra down to Eden ).

Id try and make any destination but due to small business may have to miss out if its in the Northern NSW townships ( Mehhh, wouldnt matter too much )

With the reports that would grace the site after such an event i would feel like i was there anyway!

 

[aleg75]

If we have a good split we could do a paddle vs peddle fishing comp

 

[Jake]

When is this likely to take place? I may or may not be around...
If Australia Day as has been suggested, then when is that? (I dont really read the papers or watch TV but I think it is in Jan?).

Sorry for the stoopid questions, but I dont get out much....

 

[justcrusin]

Great minds think alike and fools never differ!

Was thinking the exact same thing Gatesy. Perhaps the answer is which ever way we go this time, next time we go too the other.

Dave

PS i dont have a problem with north or south

 

[Peril]

Yeah, I think Davey's been to the John Howard school of referendum drafting.

In the past year we've been to Glenbawn, St Clair and Forster. So not a bad thing to head south. Of course, if the MP is gazetted and the good waters closed we might have to rethink (same goes for Port Stephens)

[Davey G]

the above 5 locations were based on what feedback I had from the original post 'NSW Annual Convention" which called for input into suggested locations. From that thread, the 5 options above were identified.

I too dont mind whether its north or south of Sydney, but from results so far the majority vote is for Batemans Bay area (11 votes) followed by SW Rocks (6 votes) and Forster (5). Batemans is probably 3-4 hours south of Sydney, Forster 4 hours north and SW Rocks 6-7 hours North ?? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If Batemans Bay were to be the location, would any of the Vic members be able to attend?

Further comments welcomed on the location. Once that has been confirmed, we can start working on dates.

 

[justcrusin]

I'm happy with batemans bay. What do you reckon?

Dave

 

[Davey G]

OK, this thread seems to have come to a grinding halt, SO...

...lets assume that Batemans Bay area is the preferred option for the MAXIMUM number of attendees.

IN THAT CASE, who is able to attend?

Those who think they can attend please reply with your preferred times (eg mid-late Feb etc) If theres a specific weekend/date that you prefer please post it up.

Cheers.

Me...I'm a goer. Prefer mid-late Feb sometime.

(also keen to do another weekend North perhaps April/May?)

[Davey G]

Default duration: 2 days? 3?

Red.

Yep. I would suggest that duration should be Fri-Sun with those who can make it getting there on Friday midday ish for a Fri arvo / evening fish, then fishing during Saturday and also Sunday am and leaving Sunday early arvo. Obviously there will also be those that can only make the weekend and those who choose to get there earlier and/or leave later.

 

[justcrusin]

I'm back to work end of jan, but with a bit of notice any date is possible, nothing catastrophic happens then for me that can't be rearranged.

Cheers Dave

 

[paffoh]

Long weekends would be best but i could make it late Friday after work for the whole weekend ( If located in the Batemans Bay area )...

Default of 2-3 days sounds superb to me.

What about everyone else?

 

[Peril]

Will definitely try to make it but work can get in the way at short notice. How long does it take to drive from Martin Place to Bateman's. And is there a recommended camping ground.

Note guys, that at any time any one of us can announce where they'll be for the weekend as an invitation for others to join them. Stay tuned.
