Future Musters

[BravoBrad]

and you know all your camping gear stands a better chance of being where you left it, when you return from a run down the tracks.

i agree
private property is the way to go if possible

 

[WoodyD40]

You're right on the money, Jim.

There are two (at least) private properties we are looking at in Vic high country. One has showers/amenities near cabins on uneven ground, with a campsite area about 500m away on level ground (this is my vague recollection of the description).

I have a personal preference for private as well, because then we have the ability to dictate to "unofficial attendees". In a public area, we can only ask politely but if people choose to stand in the middle of our (filmed) handing out of showbags and cause a ruckus there's little we can do.

(Woody - do me a favour and remember that point for the next meeting!)

Not to worry Tony, you memory is doing you justice.

Guys, i'm currently looking at a couple of private properties and frantically making phone calls, and facebook messages - along the lines of exactly the points you have been making. So I (we) really appreciate your imput so that we know what is important to you and your familys to make all musters a success.

Tony, I hope to have things to discuss at the next committee meeting - i wont forget, 'cause i'm spending a fair effort at finding suitable places.

We just had our 2011 Muster Wrap-Up meeting and went through the feedback - it looks like everyone enjoyed it, the event was a big success, so we're starting to plan for future events!

We've decided that the next one will be in the Victorian High Country (it was popular), sometime in November 2012. We haven't worked out an exact date yet, but that's approximately when we think it'd be good to hold it. This is subject to approval of us using the sites, more details will follow.

In 2013 we're thinking Queensland - perhaps Glasshouse Mountains. 2014 we're considering South Australia. In 2015 it'll return to NSW.

down near mt pinnibar etc?

Not sure yet, investigations are still underway.

Here are a few pics from a high country trip I went on about 2-3 years ago ...

The Dargo Hotel. That's my Lux on the left ..

I can't remember what track that is looking back, but it was a bloody ripper, ran right along the top of the range in the background ...

And another one. It was so clear and fresh up there..

All thos pics were taken with my old Samsung mobile phone, no fancy lenses or anything.

You can nearly see my place from up there. The mate has a shooting hut up that way, not much of a shooter myself but the fly fishing up there is great.

 

[siringo]

It may already be in place, but can I suggest that those that can, create a mailing list so those interested in the Muster can be emailed with updates.

 

[Old.Tony]

A mailing list isn't something I could easily do. However, there is a National Navara Muster social group maintained by WoodyD40 and members of that group could be mass-pm'd with links to relevant posts containing important updates.

I'm unable to do the PMs, only Woody can because he created the group. I don't know if multiple people can do that on the forum.

Another alternative is for you to sign up to the National Navara Muster Facebook group.

 

[siringo]

Facebook, no I don't do Facebook. Mailing lists aren't too awkward to setup, I'm sure someone could organise something, if you get stuck I can help out.

 

[Old.Tony]

I think we'll see if Dylan can allow the Muster Committee members to manage the group, rather than just one person. Having it all located and managed here - we're we are all already signed up - makes things so much easier.

The rest of this information is intended to allow everyone to see and follow the steps not just you.

In your user control panel (User CP button at the top of the page right now) you can enter "Edit Options" - it's about halfway down the left column - from in there, you can select the option "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages" - so when the social group sends out a mass PM, you get an email. You can elect not to, and just get the PM when you log in.

I think that might be the most flexible alternative. We just need to see if Dylan can have more than one manager for a social group. I can't seem to find this option if it exists already.

Controversial but understandable.

I guess it depends on what you think you're going to get up to. If you're going to tell dirty jokes around a campfire, I don't think you'd upset too many women, but if you're going to oil yourself up, get naked and get intimate with a goat, then I reckon you wont only be offending the women.

Don't sell 'em short mate.

My wife hates it when I sing it

Old Tony did that at the Muster.

Surprised me to.

Haha, sorry Tony.
