2009 Nationals

[asra]

Russ is right,the number of hours in the day get shorter when you are involved with the day to day affairs of ASRA. The organizing of the trip to the US has stalled for a couple of reasons. The main being my wife"s refusal to sell the house to fund me putting a gyro into a container and sending it half way round the world.I keep telling her to "Look at the big picture" but she keeps saying "How much just to send you and "It" one way ,for good? ???I have talked to a few people that have brought aircraft in from the US in containers and were talking about $15000 one way, that was for a 20 foot high cube container.If anyone has any contacts that can help then I"m all ears.

Righto then if your serious about this tell me from where to where, and for what,

[Russell]

Yes mate......i raised the same query with muz last week, as he had begun the idea.Answer..............jinning around getting freight costs etc etc, he says he will get onto it again real soon. Ol muz has had his hands full with other matters etc etc [ asra for one ]I for one, is dead keen to see it happincheers............

Guys,Thanks for the support, unfortunatly its numbers and representation from around OZ that contribute to a sucessfull ASRA Nats event. If we have real interest then I am sure that we can host a great show in WA in the future.Regarding the mustering seminar in WA I have put that on hold until the new Regs103 & 149 have been proclaimed as it is fruitless talking about something that is not confirmed as being fully legal.

[yoshi]

Hi AllJust an idea, how about we hold the 2010 Nationals in WA and make it a week long event that also incorporates the mustering school that we have been chatting about. That way it would make the trip worth while for all those who choose to attend, and there"s no excuse for not showing up cos youv"e had heaps of advanced notice.Adrian you know I will back you 100%.Just my 2c worth.Cheers Darren

[Des Garvin]

Adrian, I am with you mate just say the word and you have my time and backing 200%. Des Garvin. ;DI only have 34minutes of travel. ;D

[Russell]

Me makes 2 ............seriously tho, i know of another 4..5 that would definately fly over

[birdy]

If I thought we would get 50 people from outside WA cross the border ................I know im only one, but id be the first there Adrian.

[Adrian S]

Guys,If I thought we would get 50 people from outside WA cross the border to attend a Nats in WA I would be happy to put our hand up to host one. The reality is that WA is a long way from the Eastern States of Australia for someone to fly or tow a gyro and you would need to plan a week to get here, a week of Nats and a week to get home(thats if you tow and drive long days!).

[Russell]

Yea Bones.......spot on. Qlanders abounded there............probably outnumbered the "locals" etc.Was also disappointing to hear of another gyro event same time in NSW...........can excuse guys not going to "our" Nats because of personal circumstances..........but when guys travel to another event.........has me scratching me head

[asra]

750 squ km paddock, so theres no reason anyone should hit anyone. :PBetcha they"d manage

[birdy]

If ya had it ere, i could leave the "desert" mob till the nats, then we could all stick it to um, camels included ;D. [ if theres any left by then .]750 squ km paddock, so theres no reason anyone should hit anyone. :P

[bones]

Well you probably got a good piont there, and lets face it, it would be hard to make it any easier for all the southern people to get to, from this year, and you take all the Queenslanders out of the numbers, it would have been a pretty sad show.So yeah lets have it up this end, and to hell with the ones who ***** about how far away it is.

[Russell]

Ingham...................nar, no gyros there ;D

[GraemeMonro]

Good idea, my wife and I spent 8 days traveling to and from the nats. So we made a bit of a holiday.I think Ingham, NQ, would make a good place for the next nats. Always green, no dust, great fishing, mud crabs and prawns, soft sugar cane to land into, great beaches, barrier reef, etc..But we do need some ideas and volunteers for 2009. Lots of work, but we get to talk about how well the event was and how we appreciated your efforts.Graeme.
