I've heard a rumour that there could be a COG at Broke in March 2014. No dates yet but don't make other arrangements or claim you didn't get enough notice........... just be there.

Rob.

Bloody hell, another three day (could do it in two) trip but Maggies says, "Why not!!!!!!!!!".   ;)

Have to be back home late April for the birth of Grandson number 11 so good timing.  :)

Count us in.

:) :) :) I will do my best to be there

We would be keen depending on the dates. The school holidays start early April up here and we were planing a two week trip then with our daughter, son in-law and three granddaughters.

Where  abouts in Broke is it held. cheers Ron.

G'day Ron. Broke is about 35kms N /W of Cessnock in the Hunter Valley. A grassed free camping area with water and flush toilets, a convenience store and a bottle shop, what more do you want ?

Rob.

Okay, know the area well worked their on a horse stud for a while back in the early 80,s, some wild boy' s around then. Thinking seriously in going as I live couple hours away. cheers Ron.

OK...the unofficial committee have decided on the dates for the COG at Broke, 22/23 March and a couple of days either side if you feel inclined. Everyone is welcome, friends or relos, all you need is an interest in camp oven cooking and enjoying some good company.
Bring your ovens, we enjoy a bit of "Show and Tell" and if you have a trailer some firewood would be a big bonus as it's very scarce at Broke.
If you've never been to Broke it's a free camping area, a big grassed area under trees with good toilets opposite a convenience store and bottle shop.

I hope to see you there.

Rob.

Count the bride and I for this one.

Two events that may prevent us from attending:

1. Grandson due late April coming early (always a possibility)
2. This house selling and needing to move out.

Other than that count us in.

I did drive out along one of the country roads and cut wood from a fallen tree when we were there so will bring the chain saw with me.

Anyone else????

Another five couples have given the nod.

Two couples I know who are not associated with COCIA are very keen to attend, I don't know if Muzz has included them in his count but even so we have plenty for a very good COG.
Rob

Unfortunately we are unable to attend this one which is disappointing. I always look forward to going to Broke as it was the first time and place that I attended a cog. I will be in Sydney going to a Major League Baseball game at the SCG but next time hopefully we'll be right as it has been quite some time between cogs for me.

The mrs and I might be able to make it. I couldn't think of a better way to learn what these heavy metal buckets are really used for. We've never been on a COG and wouldn't have a clue what to bring. Is there a page somewhere with a list of what to bring?

paulhenry, bring your cooking/camping gear, ovens and anything special for "Show 'n Tell", ingredients for a couple of meals to have and to share as we all do. Chairs and table, a bag of Heat Beads (or a couple of ton of red gum would be nice) most other stuff like axes and shovels others like me will have.
Bottle shop across the road, flush toilets and tap water on site, oh and be prepared to have a good weekend.
Rob.

TBF can't go to this one
I have the days off required, but I made a commitment back in November to cook for 50 at a youth camp that weekend.
COGs have not worked for me in the past year and I am badly in need of one.

Aart

Thanks for the info Rob. If we cant make it for the whole weekend, we will at least try and get up there for the day.

Hi Prince Pod,
Countess Jilli (alias Lady in Waiting) and Count Russell will be attending Broke and really looking forward to it.    Just confirming date weelend of 22nd MARCH, 2014.    TOPKNOT

Just got off the phone with Rory who notified me of this.
I will be there, though it might be on a weekend when the missus is working which will mean just a quick drop in for a meet & greet with my kids in tow but if she is off work I can probably make a weekend of it.

Cheers, Mick. 

After missing a couple of COG's we were looking forward to Broke, the last one we attended there a ripper. :)
However there was always a background plan of visiting vamily in NZ before our winter trip chasing gold in outback WA. 8-)
So flying out of Sydney on the 14th. to 30th. can only say I hope the COG is a great success. Lashings of CO food, great weather, more CO food then evening ports and yarns around the campfire. :P

I'm really disappointed we could'nt make it to Broke  :(, I hope everyone has a great time and enjoys some great food and great company to boot. Looking forward to seeing some photos and a daily update of how its going. Astro.
