Dates: 7th and 8th July.

Times: 9am to 4pm both days

Location: Bribie Island

Lunch and nibblies provided both days.

Cost: $10 per person per day (to cover cost of food and drinks)

Limited to 15 people - first in best dressed.

BUT..if you get a spot and you cannot make it, please let us know as, in the past, there have been others waiting.

Stuart will provide a list of what is required for the newbies at rod building.

You could hold it on the pontoon.

Fish at the same time.

[trymyluck]

So, Greg how much room is there on this Pontoon????

[Stuart]

Long as there is room for me the rest of you can get stuffed.

[PinHead]

Mark..the pontoon is about 14 metres long.

so far 3 places taken

[finga]

I better consult the diary and get back I suppose.
Or do I just let someone else be the comic relief for Stuart and Greg. Or is that Greg and Stuart???

All jokes aside these week-ends are well worth the effort to go to if you are thinking about building your own rods.

Cheers Alfred.

Sh!t Graham, Im surprised it took you this long to put your name down.

[Stuart]

Ok, first I will require two personnel assistance, must be blond, female and clothing is optional.

The list to bring.

I will bring a blank with binding already done and coated at various stages of coating.

Razor blades
Thread
Nail clippers for thread not manicurering Greg’s toes.
Brushes for coating
Epoxy coating if you want a rod done or at least started
Binding lath and coating lath, “I really need someone to bring a coating lath to show you guys.
Acetone or thinners
24hr Glue, in a largish pots
Masking tap
Grinder to grind the guide feet down and to do Greg’s toenails.
Stickers for your rods
Flaming tool for coating
One carton of crown larger for me, this is critical if you want the info and day to run smoothly.
Must leave space for me to throw two crab pots in and fish on the Greg’s pontoon, non-negotiable.
Must have fun
