Coating day details

[pedro473]

Hi all,

Well the coating day is this Saturday and I thought we would kick it off at 9am. I will provide finger food, party pies sausage rolls, spring rolls, chips biscuits and dip and the like.
Please feel free to BYO grog and be sure to bring some brushes.
I will provide the epoxy and mixing cups.
As for details of where I live you can send me an email pedro473@bigpond.com and I will reply with my address and phone number.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers
Pedro

All i can say is I didn't bind that rod and dont put my name on it!!! It was a top day, a no frills shindig that was no fuss and had a great laugh. Whats strange is we actually got through quite a bit. And thanks again to Pedro and his wife.

Pedro, thanks for putting on a great day, and to all for sharing their stuff. I'll post the pics just as soon as I work out how to delete the one of me attempting to wrap and I photoshop out Stu's finger from the rest of them.
Cheers

Thanks again Pedro for supplying the venue and providing great hospitality. It feels good to get that "fix" again and to catch up with the usual suspects.

Cheers
