Bathurst 2014 GtG


Recommended Posts

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

... and there is usually some kind of audio demonstration/experiment.

 

I'm planning to be there this year.

 

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...? ;)

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!

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.

Probably not PSE due to the need to fit other things in the car!

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...!

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.

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! :(

You guys have got me tempted :thumb: 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.
