ok well its confirmed.
IVe booked the date in, and so now we have a lovely big Hall with a Kitchen and toilet block, along with a big ass campign area and flat area to use for the weekend! sept 30, Oct 1, 2 and 3. Its in a beautiful location only 5 minutes from the closest Public Transport and Supermarket, or 25 minutes by car from the Adelaide GPO. We can arrange transport to and from the site from the Bus stop given a bit of notice.
We've also bought a big ass markee to use as a 2nd learning area if the workshops get too big to fit in the hall.
I was thinking we could also have a bit of a party on the saturday night if people were able to chip in for a PA...
so yeah - if you are interested in something or doing something else - say so!
and yes - there will be a large campfire, and a big fire spin.

It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

I'm thinking about filming this year. I said that last year and barely took any photos let alone filmed anything, but i'm seriously considering taking it on board!
.All things are beautiful if we take the time to look.

Ok, I want everyone to do me a favour. My sister hasn't announced the date of her wedding just yet, but I know it will be in October.
I want everyone to really really concentrate. Concentrate on the phrase "Rozi's sister's wedding will be in late October and the weather will be beautiful".
It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
