Well,

it's Jan 2010, we might as well start talking about Xmas 2010 as the last one is over.

We also need to start the conversation about a Mini Down Under. The inaugural Mini was held at my place in 2007, and Goldies' in 2008, 2009 was a skip year, but 2010 needs to be back on.

If you can get a weekend set down reletively soon, i would cross the ditch to met up with you vegemite lovers.

[piesrule58]

[toodle_pipsky]

Name a date and I'll try and come. Would have to say it was a lot of fun and very interesting 08.

[mrpackethead]

How about being completely un-democratic and just setting a date. June5/6 sounds good for me..
