Thanks to jkohn for offering his help in organising this meet.

The meet will be on private property fires will be allowed pets under control will be allowed.

We now need some idea of the number of people attending so that we can look at the area and do some preliminary organising.

rodeo2002, try sending a PM to one of the moderators, and see if they can move this meet to the "Child Board" at the top of the "Trips, Tracks, Touring and Reports" section of the forum.   You can then open another sub-thread maybe labled something like "2011 Myswag National Meet Attendees".

EDIT:- sorry didn't see jkohn's post above.

Hi folks,
    Haven't introduced myself in the main section yet but will do soon. Hoping to join the Tambo Club this weekend  
Just as an idea, Maybe on of the Mods could make this thread a sticky, as i thinks there will be a lot of us keeping a good eye out for more details.

Cheers,

Cam

I'm getting there... 

Plus only Bigjules and I can make the new board...

hmm looking on the map, its not that far to the clare or down to the hills. mmmm wine.

4th of October is the Long Weekend for NSW so that works well.

For Sydney siders wanting to take a 4 day weekend, I can lead a 'back way' there and back - Ideally doing as much off the black top as possible of course...

Off the top of my head - Leaving Thursday afternoon camping Thursday night at Borenore Caves (just past Orange) Friday night camping Mungo NP, Sat at the meet, Sunday night Williandra NP, returning Monday evening - or something along these lines anyways!

Trying to organise this October let alone 2011 but it sounds like a great idea and we will pencil it in.
Danbri your trip route sounds interesting but we might take a few more days to explore on the way, never been down that neck of the woods.
regards
Bruce and Jenni

[tommo]

[Annie]

[OffRoadDave]

Registering my interest. 

[Snicko]

Registering my interest as well with or without the wife...lol.....don't tell her

[Madcat]

We also will put our name down

[db]

We are definite possibles  .  Sounds like a great idea.

Cheers,

Richard

[Ketsi]

We would also like to run the campo flag up the flag pole for this event. Not to mention the Qld flag too 

Have quite a few big commitments to get through this year and early next year, but this may be the motivation for a bigger trip around this one to include perhaps a round trip to take in the rock and a bit of corner country while getting to this meet and back.... 

Keeping watch 
Cheers, 
Ketsi

 I've done Myswag in Qld and Myswag in NSW so why not Myswag in SA!

So I'm keen. I havn't looked at a map yet but I would say from here I would need to come down via birdsville and a trip out to big red before crossing into SA. So maybe some other qlders might be keen to tag along on this journey south...

[davo69 and the Nurse]

I will be keeping my eyes on this thread... sounds like we may be able to attend... just need to look at a map, to work out how I will get from Newman, WA to Jamieson SA....

[Ricey]

This is a great response and people are looking at making a trip out of it.
Here is a map to give everyone an idea of where Jamestown is.
