Cichlids_au Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 OK I have got the dirt from my legs (dusty area) and Jess is smelling like a green apple again. So here are some that I have taken for the day Some crowd shots L to R is Front row YeW & Chipimbi At the seats Julian (1/2 for griffin) Nik (YeW’s better ½) Jess (other ½ of Griffin) Brigita Back Kram Colfish DanielK & Sooty The Bilby Boot throw Teamsherman steps up to the plate Kram, Sydney's star with a massive 35m chuck His warm up shot went 28m, the next best from the boys was 25m OK we may have cheated with the 6 year old and let him throw from the 10m mark, but we reckon he got it 18m Jess tries to beat Brigita and nearly knocks out some partiers to her left. Brigita was the dark horse of the day with a massive 25m chuck. Next best girl shot was under 20m. There were longer shots but then went into the negative or were so far to the left or right they didn't score well My Jessy dog Not another sausage! I know! I'll stash it in the dirt for later. I just have to get this nose full of dust to cover it I should be right All up. A great day with nice people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropheusQueen Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hey hey, Great shots Mark and so quickly loaded and commented on. Finally.......home. Had to go via Cherrybrook and have coffee with the Nanna Yep great to put faces to names, had a few snags....cooked perfectly by sausage man himself - Gav. Threw a boot - really badly, not a skill I ever intend to master . Had a piece of mudcake and won some spirulina soft and moist for guessing something......what I can't seem to recall. Funniest moment of the day had to do with Dave (Yew) and some raffle tickets. Won't elaborate as it would only embarass. Suffice it to say it brought us to tears. Great day all round, weather perfect, company enjoyable and yes would have been made better if a few more (especially those that said they would) had turned up - but what the heck they missed out not us Cheers Aline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kram Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 It was a great day, nice to put a few faces to names. I think I am feeling the boot throw now (it may need a few phy. visits to get it operational again ). Oh was there a prize for the boot chuck? Thanks again for Mark and all the guys involved for orgfanising the BBQ. Look forward to the next event. I think I'll have to start practicing to defend the boot throwing title.

phatoscarlover Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Some suggested a National Championship, maybe mark can drum up some sponsors to send all the winners up to sydney? Well done Kram but i hear youve got a height advantage! lol Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsherman Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Funniest moment of the day had to do with Dave (Yew) and some raffle tickets. Won't elaborate as it would only embarass. Suffice it to say it brought us to tears. I will!!! We were supposed to write our names on the raffle tickets so we could have one drawn out of the hat for the major prize (thanks sooty!!) and Dave a.k.a YeW, wrote his name on both tickets so he would "know its my ticket". Funny thing about it was, he was the only dave there!!!! and he wanted to make sure it was his ticket by matching it with the one he had also written his name on!!! LOL Overall a good day with good company, good food and good weather!!! Thanks Auburn Aquariums for my Hydor prize (internal filter). And thanks ACE for putting on a great lunch/day!! Cheers, Alan.

Sooty Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Im going to be dreaming sausages for a week... Thanx to the organisers for what I term a "TOP" arvo. Till next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 G'day The day was wonderful. I feel cheated! Cheated I say!!! I was unaware of the (wind unassisting) modifications that had been done to the boot! If only I had known. The dave story. Methinks Dave was trying to make real raffle book style tickets, hence he had his name on two edges of the piece of paper, in preparation for the said piece of paper to be torn in half. I cannot make a better quote than that already provided by Yew on the day, "Its scary to think this is the result of seven years at Uni" Very funny stuff indeed LOL For next year I shall be working on the guessing the number of algae waffers in any given container and of course I will obtain one of those specially modified boots to assist me with the training regimen I will have to undergo. Jess was absolutely hillarious to watch as she was hiding the sausage! Oh yes and the dog was fun to watch as well LOL Methinks this will become a great event in the future as more people actually show up and with such great prizes on offer I was amazed that more people didn't . There were some serious dollars available. Next time around there will be more people and the event will grow but the odds of me actually winning the boot throwing will dimish even further. To the Organisers, A Great Day, thanks for making it all happen cya Matthew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlabxr Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Glad to hear everyone enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately I couldn't make it as my wife had organised something previously. Most of it involved laying pavers and chopping down trees. Its a great idea being able to meet and put names to faces or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 I couldnt make it as sitting here now is the first time I have been able to sit up since Saturday morning. I had to go to my sisters and was planning on rocking up probably after lunch just to say hi. But I woke up in immense pain. I am horribly ill. I don't know where it came from. Anybody know if there is a super violent nasty flu going round at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Morelia Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Anybody know if there is a super violent nasty flu going round at the moment? I think there must be, that's why i wasn't there Looks like you all had such a great day ! hope i'm well for the next one Although you all realise of course, that if I'd been there i would've won the boot throw I would've had the height advantage...
