thought this a cool image. you can clearly see the Soueasterly feeder bands as well as the Norwesterly feeder bands of thunderstorms.

Just an update in regard to the social side of things. kellie i gave you the wrong info - Wednesday is the roast night at the pub. So maybe we need to lock in Wednesday at the pub

no worries anne, thanks for the heads up. the hotel has a booking for the saturday night event opening party.

as with past events we can adjust as needs be to get the best outcome. besides, i like roast......

look forward to seeing you up there.
