Have given this a lot of thought and I think why a number of people are hanging off is the thought of the technology needed to participate.

This is not a criticism but a fact of life that we have a number of people on the forum, some who have been here quite a while who do not even have the knowledge to post a photo. Like I said, not a criticism, but those people would be put off at participating in something as has been suggested.

I think we are going to have to forget skype and texts and talking on the phone.

Maybe just a lot of weekends together across the country and everyone sharing on the forum at the end of it.

Also think that maybe posting a suggested date for the future where people can look at, in their regions, and can go for a weekend and share that so that others can start preparing.

Interested in others thoughts on this.

Good thinking 99

We don't experience a lot of extreme weather in SA, so we could fit in easily with others preferred dates.

The idea of close proximity cogs could be to not hold it on Long weekends and just use a normal weekend ?

You try working on the cold wet SA ocean in the winter.

Both great ideas I reckon Derek. Rick's comment regarding not having it on a long weekend has some merit as well I think.

I agree that technology is a huge issue for a lot of us.
Especially if you don't have coverage in camping areas (often the case in WA).
Talking / texting can also be very expensive, or simply not possible, if you are on a limited phone plan.

Teen works at night on weekends requiring Mums Taxi at knockoff time therefore midweek is usually the best time for me to go on camping trips - assuming Chief is physically able at that time. If all else fails I will simply do a Clayton's Camping Trip and cook in my back yard Grin

The judge's decision is final... unless the 3rd umpire is called for... or a facebook campaign goes viral !!!

All comments are my personal opinion only and/or based on real life experiences. No debate will be entered into.

Yep, no public holiday long weekends. Although all weekends can be a long one for us these days Tongue

Actually the long weekend in June we are off in the van to Hervey Bay here in Qld. Alayna has decided her and Jon will get married there and they are going up to make the bookings.

We are tagging along but staying 7 nights or maybe more

Have had a couple of very nice COG's in TBF's backyard so nothing wrong with that either. In fact the first COCIA COG was there.

I don't know any other members around here. Also I'm not much of a cook so need to learn.
