CNC BBQ - Cairns,Australia (June11 2011) (More than $2000 of door prizes)

[Tony Mac]

Hi Russell,

Afraid I won't be able to make the BBQ - maybe next year - but Vectric do wish to support the event and would like to donate a PhotoVCarve license for the door prize draw.

I appreciate how much time and work goes into organizing these events, so please drop me an email and we'll get you setup with some software

I also want to pass my thanks on to you guys donating door prises. Your kind donations are going to make this already great BBQ even better. I'll be attending to learn and it's going to be awesome just to see all your different software in use on the day.

Thanks again, Dave.

Good going Russell,

If i wasn't going to be in the U.K I would have come up too.
As Benny says, lets shoot Queenslanders with a shotgun.

Hope all that attend have a great day as this type of gathering is always a great way to spread the love of CNC.

For those interested in Mexico (Melb) I am working on a guy who has a factory to host another BBQ, but this will not happen for quite a while (towards the back half of this year I expect) unless someone else puts up their hand and does the work before me.

PS: Tony M, you up for a visit from me in June????

I can bring a Projector and portable screen for any software display's if this is needed.

Looking forward to meeting all.

Hi Mikie,

If you are in the Midlands area please do call in and see us.

Give me a call / email when you are planning to visit.

Hi Tony, that is awesome news ! email sent

We may have to get a better longest traveled award, the promise of an extra steak sandwich just isn't attracting any international visitors

Hey Mikie, we have a similar saying for Victorians up here

Seriously though, shame you can't make it, hopefully though this is not just a one off deal, I would like to see at least an annual BBQ happen in the far north, we can't let you guys have all the fun !

Hi James, I may take you up on that, don't know about you but my eyes seem to get worse every year, the bigger the screen the easier for everybody to see what is happening.

Cheers.

Russell.

Hi,

This is one BBQ I'd like to attend, but is just a little too far away.

To help support it I'll put a few bits and piece from my stock line together and send a parcel off for door prizes.

I wish you guys well and am disappointed I won't be there.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi Peter, thank you very much for donating to the door prizes, shame you can't make it but totally understandable, not like it is a five minute drive for ya

Thanks to Gecko for supporting the BBQ ! They certainly are generous supporters of the CNC BBQ's... can't wait to see what turns up in the mail !

Would it look obvious if I won half of the prizes ?

Hi Benny, yup I think we can be quite happy with the prize pool, it is all a bit overwhelming how generous our sponsors have been, now I just hope the day lives up to expectation !

Thanks for editing the original post for me...I think (worried about what "I" will say )

Russell.

Alrighty, here is the start of the list, if you want to attend, copy and paste this and then post it again with your name added to the list, also mention if you would like to bring a machine or some CNC related item. PM me if you have any special requirements for your machine/item/self and I will accommodate as best I can.

So far the prize draw is being split up between four people, pretty good odds for those guys !

Here it is :

Ynneb (Benny)
Owlsnest (James) - possibly bringing Mach3 converted engraver
Cold Turkey (Dave)
Dan85 (Dan)

Wow Russ! This thread has exploded into a flurry of excitement. I think I am going to put some serious time into being ready.
