scuzzii Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 actually, that's a good reminder Joz. The rule is everyone has to wear yellow for your GTGs right? Just wanting to double check. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 @keyse1 Thanks for asking. Survived fine as I'm up in the hills and just watch it unfold. But i've been working in the cleanup process of the town and it's an unmitigated disaster, truly awful with many many shop owners and shopkeepers busted and broken due to no flood insurance. Tens of millions of dollars of damage done, absolutely awful what's been wreaked here. So I've been laying low on the SNA front, haven't played my system for yonks, just lost interest actually at the moment as the whole event is somewhat overwhelming even though this is my 10th or 11th big flood here. This one due to the levee bank has just been disastrous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betty boop Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 @Luc how things come together soon, sounds like world very much upside down ! very sad to hear of those with no flood insurance. I guess it's times like this community at hand strongest. Hope some good outcome ! Some how ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I was talking to my auto-eclectrician and he had a metre of water through his shop and he had $120k's worth of two way radios sitting in the shop waiting to be fitted to the local energy supplier trucks...gone,no insurance as it's prohibitive at 20K annually. My local bookshop lost all it's stock,300K's worth, they wont be reopening and the baby shop close by wont be and two restaurants, a bedding shop a carpet shop,2 private service stations wont and a lot more shops apparently. Private supermarket went under they lost all their butcher shop and meat and had a delivery of 50k's worth of easter eggs...gone along with their entire stock and equipment,hundreds of k's worth just there. Mechanic shop next door to my mechanics shop took the punt the water wouldn't hit him, he had 5 cars in his bay and lost them all and everything in his shop. I think he was complacent not to ring the owners up but still, the guys lost everything and doesn't have the dosh to replace his tools and equipment. What do you do or say to these people? You can't just hand over vast sums of money and go ' here, start again'. It's a problem that is still there long after the event has slipped from the public conscious and is no longer a newsworthy item. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martykt Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 My sympathies to your town @Luc and those who have lost so much from the flood. I hope they bounce back quickly and find positives in the future. I get the feeling though that it'll take quite a while for the town to recover from this one. What's the best flood appeal to donate to Luc if people wish to help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzii Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 ^^^ yep, if there's an appeal it might be worth letting SNA know. I will donate. Not sure if there is already a specific thread for this... @Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankn Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 may I ask what is the status of dinner on either Friday or Saturday nights and also the GTG? Daz and I have travel, accom, show tickets sorted so wondering what the other attending SNAr's are planning? Anyone interested in meeting in the venue either mid-morning or lunch on Friday ? I'm not sure what are the local food / drink venues at or near the event. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Without going into the city StKilda has a huge variety of food from up market to casual. Fitzroy st Acland st and the Esplande eateries are only a good walk or short tram ride away. The venue is directly over the road from the Grand Prix is run. Not sure which day to have the GTG yet, Sat or Sun? Probably Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still heaps of time but think a Saturday dinner again near the show / City would be great, might look tentatively at what's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
