Gee Emm Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Well, this year will be the 8th year in a row for the annual sojourn to Chateaux Jones for the October Bathurst weekend Some will remember it. Some won't, and they may have even been there! So, a regular motley crew will trek across this great land of ours to peform the following rituals Drink a selection of brewed, fermented & distilled beverages Burp Eat meat Laugh at each-other Play 'pull my finger' Fart, and laugh at yourself Listen to loud music on Senor Jones' excellent speakers AKA the Frankenspeakers Listen to quiet music, turned up really loud Fall down, and possibly sleep where you land Play card games Attempt to play musical instruments Attempt to listen to people trying to play musical instruments And maybe one or two of us will actually go to the racetrack. Just for fun. Sleeping spots are normally taken by the motley crew, but day visitors have always been welcome. I'll check with Senor Jones. 126 days 3 hours 12 minutes Graham Edited June 10, 2014 by mr-happy-pants 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR is talking about doing a 'proper' active speaker class. That'll be fun. I likes learnin'. So Paul, what will you be demonstrating this year? A PSE perhaps...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hochopeper Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I'm keen for a day visit. I've been telling my in-laws who live in the Blue Mountains that we should go that car race that's on at the same time as the Bathurst GTG ... So I'll be in the area, would be a waste to not pop in!

Gee Emm Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'll pencil you in. Which day do you think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hochopeper Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 At this stage Sunday, I'd rather watch qualifying shootout than anything else at the car race. If there is something interesting like JohnRs active speaker thingo on a different day then I will possibly change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Marc Posted June 10, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 10, 2014 I wasn't sure if the door would be opened for me - but apparently it is, which I appreciate. I have a loose plan of being in the area at the time and dropping in to take some happy snaps, hear TJ's great system (which by all accounts is remarkable) and share a beer or three.

Administrator Marc Posted June 10, 2014 Administrator Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a large 4x4 (OK, Toorak Tractor) and could probably transport anything audio related anyone needs up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, they do have bottleshops in Bathurst you know, you don't have to bring it all with you. In particular, everybody should know that supplies of 4X BITTER are obtained at the Knickerbocker Hotel NOT at Dan Murphy's. I was kinda hoping to hear your Synergy's. Some day...!

niss_man Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Mmmmm fond memories of Bathurst. Years ago when my wife and I were backpacking around Australia I put a few observations in my diary. Can remember two of them. 1. Dubbo seemed to have a lot of big people there. Tall and large boned. Must be all the meat they eat or something. 2. Bathurst seemed to breed women with above average breast capacity. Needless to say, I thought Bathurst would be a lovely place to move to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil c Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well they seem to have relaxed the entrance requirements - even Marc's going, must be a "monitor plant"! Will be restricted to moderate intake and behaviour so don't need more moderation al! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve M Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) You guys have got me tempted Got the invite from TJ and I should really do it as it was a hoot the last time we visited the bearded one! Its a long way to go from the other side of Australia ...but will have to talk to the other couple of Sandgropers, we shall see?? Cheers, Steve.

john.reekie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You gotta ask, why isn't Bathurst closer to Victoria where they CARE (sob sob). Oh wait. It's so I can go. (And Brett) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
