Sydney Pentaxian Gathering - Lets make it happen!!!

NicholasN · 01-12-2009, 06:22 PM

C'mon guys I know your out there, lets organize a day in the city to get out and about, maybe have a little photo contest between the attendees or something.

I can think of a million things we can do for the day.

Throw up a post if you are interested.

Meet people from the internet? Thats crazy talk!

in anycase, i'm busy. work all day till february 20th and i dont want to go into the city on the weekend... then february 23rd is the start of uni... time freed up from then, but its a bit of a long time from now...

Alfisti · 01-13-2009, 12:19 PM

It's minus 30 over here tonight so i sugest you get out and enjoy the sun.

In Melbourne, there are 39 pentax users that are registered in the forum. However, only 4 of us really meet up every weekend for photography.

There are quite a few sydney forum members there. You should start collecting a list of addresses and names. Try to organise a regular time each week and things would roll along nicely.

Initially, people would not come. It takes a while to get it going.

Is there any way to search for members in Sydney?

Use the member list and use the Advanced search function to search by location

Well, start with Lance Blackburn. He would definitely know quite a few.

What about Adelaide? How my South Aussies do it K mount style?

Hehe. You can start doing so to gather a community in the local area. Cideway is pretty much an old member there and sure you could start with him?

After all, we can even start a newsletter group that send regular free news letter to all Australian pentaxforum members if we get a proper list going.

Mechan1k · 01-21-2009, 08:09 AM

I need to check this area out more often.

I work shiftwork ... so that stuffs me up a bit ... but would love to get out to a meet though.
Maybe something that is not in the city though ... even though I'm a courier ... I hate the place.

I haven't spoken to Lance in a while ... he is on the forum from time to time ... but is mainly on the dpreview forums though.

But a Sydney-area meet-up sounds like a good idea to me

I don't mind going just about anywhere. My only problem will be workload after class starts up again. Last meet I went on I couldn't even find Nicholas

so I went to La Perouse. Lots of good stuff out there.
