Hahahaha! Don't worry mate, you aren't alone! :lol: Maybe you're like me and you've been trapped with Tim for a few hours as he recounts every fight he's ever been in complete with re-enactments (you being the defeated foe of course). Ahhhhh good times. :lol:

Good PR there Jezz, I still don't know whose face belongs to you, I'm guessing one of the few younger ones like myself?
I really do wish they'd hurry up and grow.

As a club we are very excited about this and look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.

Well spruiked Jarrod, and not a moment of time wasted I see. Bill will owe you 5 of that 10 bucks if you get 200 there. :lol:

Hi Hutch,

You don't need to bring anything to either actually, you can just come along and watch, converse etc... but it's always good if you bring a tree, especially to the workshop and whatever tools you have.

See you there. :D

Yeah as TeeJay has said, you dont really need to bring anything, just come along and have a chat.

Though it is always fun to get your hands dirty. :D

And there is always a lot of people who are willing to offer opinions on your tree. And they all have different ideas which is good for brain storming ideas about a tree.

Look forward to seeing you there.

And we look very much forward to hosting you. And I definately agree that we should all bring a big water bottle.

Any hints about what you will be doing?

Jarrod,
Tonite my presentation will consist of several distinct segments. My purpose will be to open a creative clearing for the participants to step into. I don't wish to give too much away as it may erode the spontaneity that I require of the group.
Cheers
Lindsay

I must say that you did open our minds, seemed to leave the group speechless.

I just want to thank you once again for coming all the way out to us for the "demo"/discussion. It was different from anything I have anything I have even witnessed. So thank you.

I'm sure we would love to host you again some time.

It was a fantastic night Lindsay, although a little on the warm side….. :o

As the club librarian I can’t thank you enough for your extreme generosity. Your donations to our library are appreciated more than you can imagine.

I’m certainly looking forward to your next visit…. ;)
