    Default Bushmoot - 74 Days to go...

    70 if you're camping. Not that I'm getting excited, but it's been a long year so far and the Moot always seem to signify the start of a long break for me.

    Anyone else beginning to get slightly excited yet?

    And for those folks who want to know the exact time and second to the start of the Bushmoot... click here

    Be handy for the likes of Drew and other eager folks if the countdown timer was embedded somewhere on the forum

    That's a shame, been a while since we've caught up. If you can make it down it'll be good to see you.

    Good good, this would actually make quite a good thread... things you're not getting excited about the moot :P

    I'm with you though, can't stand the thought having to spend time with a group of mates I've not seen for a while, or being forced to drink beer whilst relaxing around the fire.
    Certainly dreading having to use any new kit or trauling through the tables at the bring and buy and the traders day for new shinys. And don't even get me started about the Naughty corner or the Scots Corner and having to endure Toddys excellent hospitality! And that's before we even start ranting about the workshops..........

    Of course... I mean if I had a ticket then I'd have something to be excited about... but as I don't then I'm not.. I think

    Slight problem there John... waiting on some money to come in before I can do that.

    Unless you might want to dip into your pocket and lend me the money til I get the money I'm waiting on
