The usual suspects are getting together next Saturday for an afternoon of Rickenbacker show'n'tell. It will be a good opportunity for us to give Aitch a send off, as he departs for his trip to the US and Canada the next day. Confirmed starters are Greg, Aitch, Ron and Shane.

I'd also like to extend an invitation to new Forum members based in Victoria. Confluences are a great way to put a face to the name and to share our toys! If you're interested in coming along please pm me, or shoot an email to dtrott at optusnet dot com dot au.

I imagine the send off would be you guys getting all drunk and then tying up Aitch to a Wiley Coyote style mega Acme bottle rocket that says "To USA" on it. :lol: :mrgreen:
Have a great time, guys! :D

Jeez. I reckon these guys will use any minor excuse to have a barbie and a beer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Have a great time and don't give the old bugger too much of a send off, given that he says he's older than dirt I think he should have a warning sticker on his bags and his forehead

Fragile - This Way Up.
