Hey Nic,

Put me down for this one for now. Can't commit 100% at this stage though as I'm moving house that week.

 

I would like to add, on behalf of PJ and I, a massive thank you to you Nicolas for the generosity shown by hosting this event. While there may be some element of bias or favouritism here, I hope this event will be a big success for you and hope I can make it along. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

 

Cheers,

Lambo

Actually mate, if you'd like I'll get you to pop in a few nights before, and we can play some games to get you nice and ready if you'd like.

Thanks Nick, I will see how things pan out...

My largest problem currently is learning all the machines.

I only learn with a machine in front of me as opposed to talking about things and going to play days or weeks later.

Little steps as my newbie trainer wheels have just come off...

Looks like I won't be able to make this one after all unfortunately. Turns out that I got my dates mixed up and will have my son with me that weekend.

 

Sorry to stuff you around Nic. Would have been nice to get over and play some of those machines of yours.

Almost there. This Saturday!

 

Door open 9:00 am for practice and rego.

 

We will start around 9:30 am. For lunch we might do pizza. BYO drinks.

 

Please let me know ahead of time if you're coming so I can send you the address. That might help.
