Crowdy Head Gathering 24-25 Oct 2009

I think name tags are a great idea. Most people should have an old name tag or one of those plastic ones that you can refill lying around. When I have been on large gatherings before we have used these and it makes it easy to introduce yourself and remember the names.

I reckon we might crack the record for the number of campers ad fourbies on this one:
Bigjules (2 adults, 1 6yo girl)
Gronk (2 adults) Greig & Helen
Gunna Do (2 adults, 2 kids 11 & 14)
Laith (2 adults, 2 kids 10 & 12) Laith, Jodie, Ryan & Hannah
Bullfrog (2 adults, 3 kids 8, 10 & 13)
HEM19X (2 adults)
TRUPM (2 adults, 2 kids 3 & 1)
Snow (2 adults, 2 kids 2 & 4)
Barnray (2 adults)
Darren (2 adults, 2 kids 6 & 9)
Dorey76 (2 adults, 2 kids 2 & 3)
Singo-26 (1 adult, 2 kids 3 & 7)
DSilvestro (2 adults, 1 kid <1)
Brett (1 adult) Brett
$:-\$ NewcastleKnight Marc, Trish and Sabrina [/font] (2 adults, 1 kids 12)

and still they keep coming
Marcus (1 adult, 3 kids 5, 9 & 11)
Barmy Army (4 adults, 2 kids 6 & 7)
Roger the Rogue (2 adults)
Pikey (2 adults, 3 kids)

How about we add some first names to the list. I have trouble remembering my own let alone going to remember everyone elses names.

Maybe we need to get some sort of name tags..

A box of white stickers and a black marker would do for names.

I'm bad with names at the best of times let alone with a group of 63 new acquaintances.

Whilst everyone is adding their names to the list, perhaps arrival times may be a good idea also.

Unfortunately a very late Friday night arrival for us has now been confirmed. Keep the home fires burning to give me something to aim for when I "DANGLE THE DUNLOPS" and come in to land.

Things are getting a bit messy with everyone adding there details. So if you just do a normal post Gunna Do can then add to the list.

The above list is true and correct so far I think as I went over everyone post and picked up the ones that dropped off.

BigJules · October 15, 2009, 03:28:05 PM

I'm happy to manage the list of names, and I'll see if I can print off some labels before I head away.

Feel free to PM, use IM over there on the left hand side of the page or email me your name, arrival time etc, I will update one list rather than a new post each time.

NewcastleKnight · October 16, 2009, 06:47:37 PM

Okay, I am a bit of a weather watcher so I have started to monitor the weather for Crowdy next weekend. At this stage the seven day forecast says that Thursday and Friday should be fine with the temps in the mid to high 20's, partly cloudy but low chance of rain. I will keep watching during the week and keep you posted but at this stage it's looking good!!

BigJules · October 16, 2009, 07:03:58 PM

Nice one, you beat me to it. I was pretty excited when I heard the forecast for the week, warmer, dryer and wind changing to the north.

We've just recruited two more campers!

NewcastleKnight · October 16, 2009, 07:21:43 PM

Crowdy Weather

I know its a week to go and that weather can only accurately be predicted three days ahead but the seven day for cast just keeps getting better!!

Snow · October 16, 2009, 07:24:25 PM

Looks like Brett will be the first one there. I can see it now, we all roll in to see him kickin' back. I can hear it now. "bout time you lot got here, I'm hangin' for a beer".

Gunna Do · October 17, 2009, 11:52:15 AM

With the Gunna Dos on the list to attend, the weather gods will be under a lot of pressure to do their usual and send in the rain and wind. We have had a terrible run lately with our camping trips, so I recon we are about due to get a good weekend away.

NK it's all up to you to get this right. All we want with your weather reports is good news OK.

NewcastleKnight · October 17, 2009, 11:53:58 AM

Gunna, I have put in an order for the type of weather we had at Stewarts Brook, except no cold nights!

Gunna Do · October 17, 2009, 11:56:32 AM

Sound perfect to me. Good luck getting your order filled.

Snow · October 17, 2009, 12:05:53 PM

If I don't wash the ute within a day or two of the trip we should be right.

BigJules · October 17, 2009, 06:51:58 PM

I am keen to do a hangi. I previously mentioned a spit, but a few rightly pointed out that these are a lot of work over hours.

A hangi required some prep, and then you let it cook. Are there fire pits that could be used for this? Are there any rocks that could be collected to line the hole? Is anyone else interested?
