Sounds like the Bendigo trip ended as a bit of a bummer, have not had a chance to speak with the lad as yet, but will catch him soon

Guys,

Whooooaa!!! What a hectic day and thanks for coming over so quickly all of you. I am sure there will be lots of stories come out in the wash but the long and short of it is Max and Bob are taking the WEB RC community to a new height. Pardon the pun as we all know Biff torque rolls his warbirds at maximum eye strain elevation and use giant telefoto lenses to get close up snaps. Just kiddin Biff.

Guys the Oz IMAC scene looks to be growing nicely and one the big advances with the new site is the ability to post your up and coming events for the world to see. Dont be shy to get em on the site because you just never know who's passin by the day of your comps. The guys on this site do all sorts from flying for DHL, FEDEX, airlines, military and just plain dudes passin by on a holiday or some international business. You might just shock yourself who turns up to one of your events one day.

So what we need is for someone in your ranks to try and round up the mob to get your events posted and get some pikkies and Vids up. Hell if I can do a video on windows video maker then anyone can.

Guys this site is really oriented to member participation and I truly beleive you guys can rassle up some strong Ocker content and membership. Who knows where and how far this revamped group of RC nuts is going to go but I am sure it it is going to be ballistic.

Once we get the chat scene worked and sorted there is no reason that we cant have a OCKER room so you guys can chat away with your mates as opposed to using the posts as an example. The site is really unlimited. Let me know if you want anything different or new and I will do my best to swing it if we can.

Again guys, thanks a million, happy new year, chuck another shrimp on the barbie mate and anyone coming to Chile for a visit please bring me a VB or two PLEASE!!!!!!!!.

Kiwi
