as usual, when I dont attend, you mob miss my calming influence, and stay up past 7.30PM!!
If it was only one comment from staff, and passed along in a reasonable way, is it worth worrying about? They have to cater for all, and be fair to all, which is why the 10.00PM time is usually "quiet" time I spose.
I know you guys wouldnt have had the music blaring, or been yelling, but yeah, sound does travel on a quiet nite.
On the flip side, I'd be a rich man if I had a dollar for every time some other mob has made plenty of noise at all hours, either in the CK or in their camp, last trip up with Noel and Dave callop a perfect example with some young blokes yahoing at midnight camped down around the bottom tree, and we were up at the very top as you drive in, and they were loud! Thats OK, I dont complain, I just make sure when I leave at 4.00AM to go fishing, their tents get hit with the high beams as I drive out.
What about when the dirt bike crew arrives, they dont stuff around, they take the whole CK, string up tarps, load up tables, becomes their own for the whole week end?
I'd be inerested in loking at alternate locations, SDA sounds good, but how will the owners react to us having a cooling cordial on a warm nite, or other campers?
Will it just be the same, if not more restrictive?
I dunno, other option is flick the CK. Its handy when it rains, and for cooking brekky, other wise, we all have enough gear (Reno MORE than enough) to be reasonably self sufficient for week enders.
Move the main fire gathering off #13, and down along the fence line, or into genny section, and see what happens?
