Hi everyone,
Our AGM will be held on Saturday the 6th of February at 9:00 am in Luina, the same place where we had last year’s AGM.
More information can be found at the event page on our main website. Feel free to ask any questions here.
Can’t wait it’ll be great to see everyone again weather should be good to.

Anybody else noticed the fires burning at Luina ? If they are still burning on our meet weekend we may have trouble with access .

I’m keeping an eye on it.
It seems to be running southwards and away from the road, so it may not affect us. However there’s a southerly wind change expected today.
Rain is also forecast for today, so I think it’s a bit early to say.

I was down there in October and parks were doing fuel reduction burns on the north side of the road so the fire shouldn’t be able to go that way and with 10 - 20 mm rain forecast down that way today hopefully that will assist with bringing it under control

The Heazlewood River fire is now no longer at advice level and there is more rain forecast later in the week, so things are looking good. It burned south of the road near the Heazlewood River bridge.
I’ll be keeping a close eye on this one for the next few days and make a call by the weekend. If it still looks worrying by Saturday, we can go to plan B, which could be to delay the trip by a few weeks, or head over to Lake Burbury instead.
Thanks to @lyn8curt and @rgprospecting for sending information my way.

The TFS now have the Heazlewood River fire as “Under Control”. There’s also 10-20 mm of rain forecast for Waratah tomorrow. This means the fire should not affect us, so we’re all-systems-go for the AGM Saturday 6th.
See you there!

Hi @ajhoman71 I’ll be towing this time, so I won’t be able to pick up the portaloo. Any volunteers, please get in touch with Andrew!

Hi Kate,
At this stage, yes, the meet is going ahead.
The forecast is not the best, but if you come prepared, then it will be ok.
One bonus of rain is that it will keep the flies away 
Cheers
