Spam Cooking

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 04:45:00 +0000

Our next Wednesday meeting, is the Spam and Tofu Cooking Night, organised the Clinton and Lincoln. No we all know Clint hates stuff, but he sure does love Spam (like all of us!) so make sure that if you do have any recipe suggestions, you let him know.

You may recall last Wednesday that we changed the date from the 15th to the 22nd of March. If you turn up on the 15th you may be devastated when you realise there is no Spam that night.....

In other news, I'll be away in Sydney for a conference from the 15th to the 19th of March, so if it turns out we have Volleyball that week, you'll need to get there without me.

5-May-2006: Limestone Ridge Walk

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 00:05:00 +0000

This Sunday after the FIg Tree markets we'll be going for a walk in the Limestone Ridge area near Mt. Etna. We'll be looking for cave entrances, however we will not be entering any due to lack of qualifications, maps, etc. It's a nice spot to go walking though, with plenty of good scenery, and interesting rock formations.

Make sure that you bring the following:

Sturdy shoes to protect you from pointy rocks.
Drinking water. I'd recommend 2 litres.
A hat. Or you'll be forced to wear some floral gardening hat.
Sun Screen.
Money to buy some lunch.

If you want to know some more about the area, check out a post I made on one of my other blogs:

Coming Events 27-2-06

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Mon, 27 Feb 2006 01:35:00 +0000

Thanks to Rohan for filling us all in on the upcoming Music Night. Fell free to bring your own instruments along, no matter what they may be, and remember the age old saying - don't touch what you can't afford.

This Thursday is Volleyball as usual, and if memory serves me correctly, the game is at 7:30. Since most of you will forget anyway, how about you just make sure you're ready, every 45 minutes from 5:15 onwards until I actually pick you up. Too Easy!

This weekend we have the Fig Tree Markets. The usual 7:00 start and finish at 13:00. We have no activity planned at this stage so feel free to make some suggestions. Golf maybe? Rohan has already indicated he's no available, so if any of the rest of you aren't coming, then you'd better let me know ASAP, so I don't get mad and turn into the Incredible Hulk.

On Wednesday we'll also chat about the trip to Awoonga Dam on the 11th and 12th of March. We need to get organised and make sure the trip goes ahead. I'll be disappointed if we don't get to go again....

The 15th of March will be the Tofu/Spam Cooking Night. Hopefully Clinton and Lincoln are finding some delicious recipe's for us to eat. Sadly I'll be away at a conference that night, so you may have to 'delight' some other leader with this 'fine' food.

Get your Groove on People

dawesr@gmail.com (Rohan) — Sat, 25 Feb 2006 05:40:00 +0000

Ok,
As you would all know, the music night is comming up, and i will be bringing my keyboard, Drumkit and guitar with me, that accounts for three people having something to do. I Believe that Mat is bringing his gee-tar and bass, so thats two more, and lincoln would bring his bass, thats one more, and smiley said he was going to steal his bro's gee-tar, so all and all everyone will be having something to do.

even clinton has he's happy flute, and he betta bring it.

But one condition, no-retard touches any valueble possesions of anyones without there consent, e.g. Mats Gee-tar or my Drums.

cya all then, it should be good.

Back in Various Colours though not Black.

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 00:20:00 +0000

Back in Sunny Yeppoon once again. Hope you guys enjoyed yourselves while I was away.

As Smiley has already mentioned, Volleyball is at 6pm this week. If anyone should forget, then they may be presented with another puzzle more cryptic than the one I sent Rohan several weeks ago.

I'll also take this opportunity to remind you all that on our next meeting (Wednesday the 1st of March, and it's another music night btw.) that I will be expecting you guys to tell me when we're going to do our June/July Trip. I need to book holidays ASAP, so if you don't have them for me then, you may miss out.

See you later.....

Volleyball

smileyman3000@gmail.com (Daniel Stephens) — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 14:11:00 +0000

Volleyball this week is at 6:00

See you there.

Sunday Activity: Boating

dawesr@gmail.com (Rohan) — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 05:37:00 +0000

Ok, if the weather is good we will be going to the islands for some fishing or swimming, whatever have you.

but if the weather is looking bad we will have to have a back up... any suggestions for a backup plan?

Bat Tour

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 00:18:00 +0000

No thanks to Lincoln, but we're now booking into the Bat Cleft Tour tomorrow night. I'll will call each of you tonight to confirm the details, but just so you know:

We need to meet the tour outside of The Caves pub at 5:30. Because of this I am going to suggest that we all meet at the Old Macdondalds Farm (E-I-E-I-O) at 5:00pm. I'm not planning on going home before we leave, so don't expect me to be able to pick you up from Yeppoon.

The cost is $3.90 for Children and $7.80 for Adults.
The trip includes a 2.5km walk, so bring some walking shoes.
Also bring drinking water, a torch and some insect repellant.
The tour goes for 3 hours, so don't expect to be home much before 9:30-10:00
Depending on the time, we may grab something for dinner on the way back, since I won't get a chance to have any before.
We have booked for 5 people, so if we have any extra parents, siblings who want to come along, then we need to call and make sure there's room, since there's a maximum of 12 people allowed on the tour, and including us there are already 8 booked.
Since Lincoln didn't bother to call them, I haven't bothered to book him a spot. Tough Shit!

Speak to you all tonight.

Volleyball This Week

hellboy1975@gmail.com (hellboy) — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 05:59:00 +0000

This week, volleyball is at 6:45. We'll be back at full strength this week, so we should be able to keep out 4 game winning streak intact. See you then!

Bat Cave Tour details coming soon (aren't they Lincoln?).....

Awoonga Camp

Camo — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 07:41:00 +0000

For food bring your own, but on Saturday we're havin a BBQ, If you want any thing particular tell me and I might consider it.
