I think we will do the name badges as last time. PCB samples will be an extra.

That way if one system has a hiccup the other will save the day.

Hi Greg, I am a definite starter. Please add me to your list.
Yes i am from Adelaide - will fly over on the friday night and may go to see a game of footy - hope the pies are playing.
Will bring a couple of cartons of crownies and get some ice on the way, but would it be possible for somebody to bring an esky or two? Would have to pay excess baggage to bring my esky.
Will be great to meet you and the rest of the cnc crew.
Thankyou.

Rocket.

You can add Nigel, ( Who is too slack to type an entry as always, I even had to type his last entry from his own computer last time ) and Mike who tells me he will arrive late after work, and wasnt aware that we had set the next date yet.

Greg tells me he doesnt want to bring his big machine along this time and will onlt be bringing the smaller one. We need aonther machine bought along. I will try to bring my CNC coil winder along, even if its not finished (Should be). I might even have my control panel housings finished. I will be selling them at cost price on the day.

Sounds like a plan, I have been thinking that relying on the printer will be a little risky, it played up when we moved house last time, and that was from the house next door ! Though the weather at the time played a part with that.

Any hoo, what I think I will do is to make a few boards at home and have a crack at making some on the day, that way if the printer dies in transit (or goes to Singapore) I will still have samples to give away, and if the printer works I can show it in action, and have a lot of samples to give away.

I might change the board pictured to include Melbourne and the date, and leave it at that.

Pre-make some PCB's, and leave a good copper area for name then engrave the name on the day with Greg's little machine. This is a dry process. (LOL)

Hey Greg!

We will have to see if Derek can get his machine over to the next BBQ! I'm also going to see if i can get my girlfriends dad, Alan, to make it this time. I've spoken with Derek & know he is more than keen to get there, and it's even close to home!

Cheers

Hi - I also am new to this group and like Domar would love to have the chance to meet a few like minded people who may be able to assist me with my many challenges of coming to terms with CNC machinery and how it works.

You mention the BBQ is in St. Albans - do you have an address yet?
