Hey all, I dont know if anyone has done these before but I have been having this thought for a while now. Its prob not a new one, but here goes.
Right, what I propose is a series of small swap meets at peoples houses or a park etc. Maybe coupled with a BBQ and a small drinkie.
We could do one a month, It would prob help a lot of people, me included shift and swap some stuff. After all Im sure Im not the only one with a garage of stuff.
Everyone could bring along their crap and meet other fellow Brissy dubbers at the same time.
These will happen after Dubs of course, no point beforehand.
So let me know if you are interested. And we can take it from there.
Cheers all
Gib
great idea,, i do shift work to and cant get to a lot of things
Im thinking that they would need to be rvsp and a maximum of people invited, as I know my place cant cope with 500 people, lol.
Im thinking of organising the 1st one on the southside, in holland park, there is a nice public park there, with council provided bbq's, at least there we can get a few more people along for a feed and a swap.
Anyone else interested in that? Might do it in early March.
ive thought about that too, sort of like a vw garage sale/swap a good way to get together and check out what sort of shed everybody has and gather ideas for yours etc
anyone want to have one on the northern rivers of nsw?
I'm keen I'll even have the first one

Good plan and will be interested in the interest shown on here 😎

Sounds like a good plan to have an informal bbq/get together without having to join a club or anything - having it in park or something would be cool.
Not to dampen the idea, but maybe one every two or three months would be easier to organise, get a better turnout and give people a chance to sort through their unwanted stuff rather than one a month?? Just a suggestion, I'd probably be keener for one per quarter for example just because me weekends are always so tied up.
Cheers
sounds like a plan. 😎
Sounds like a good idea gibbo....as the others suggested maybe every 2-3 months. I wont throw out my Notch seats just yet.
Sounds good to me, I'd be in it.
I'm a buyer, not a seller though :thumb
Every few months sounds better also, might be a lack of numbers otherwise!
Barby's probably a good idea also, as I'm sure there'll be more chin waggers than serious buyers!
Sounds good to me too...
I'm also a buyer, not seller.
What about saying it could be the first Sunday of every new season.....that's every 3 months (gives everyone time to clean out the shed/garage)
Another place on SOuthside is the Seventeen Miles River Park....has water play area for kids and everything.
Cheers

Thanks for the offer Colleen, but lets have the 1st one in a place that might be able to accomodate a few more people, just in case 😉
I will come up with a date this weekend, if thinking Sat 26th March? Is that the Easter break? If it is it might work out quite nicely!
great idea mark
let me know if you need any help!
OK, so this fell through due to the Nats.
Anyone want to meet up at the end of this month?
Let me know.
Soundin' good to me :-)
Good idea - an excuse for a cruise, yak, BBQ and raid each other's box trailers full of junk in the carpark!
You will need to be very careful with rubbish etc being left behind - ie: don't display on the grass. Only in vehicles😉
Pay your debts, CxxT
Hows does the 30th April Sound? Its a Saturday. We could do Sunday 1st May?
If thinking of the BBQ area in holland park, on logan rd I think. Will dig up a map.
So, the saturday or the sunday?
Sunday for me - don't forget there's the Klub Fest 2 weeks later @ Caplabla

oh bugger, maybe best of leaing it till there are no shows?
That or do it a bit earlier?
Is there likely to be any issues rocking up to a park and swapping bits??
