ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Great idea!! ... Love it !!!

(Where's Laggan?)

... that's near Crookwell ... isn't Crookwell where Fredrick Lowrey (bastard bushranger) was caught and shot by Sgt James Stevenson? And where Lowry was reputed to utter those words, "... tellem I died game" ??

Nothing has really changed since those days then ....

Hey Marty I think that's an absolutely brilliant idea. Instead of comp where everyone is stressing and such, just have a casual and fun get-together. I'd love to go (bit far though). Sounds like you are in a very interesting area, I love all that old history stuff, old sheds, etc. I wonder if the boss would miss me for a few days if I just snuck away ...

... easy Kymbo, just tell him you MUST attend to the ABPA ....

... should I write you a 'sick' note ??

Sounds like a wonderful idea. It's such a long way though Marty, better make it for a week!

Kym you can tell him you have to talk to your proof reader! That's business then and there must be a tax deduction in that.

Great idea Marty. Who knows it might catch on. Are there any boxing gloves for when the attendees have a difference of opinion about ................

We might need a "naughty corner" Neville.

what are you going to do to make the folks sulky so they can go a ride?

I am sulky because it is way to far for me to go and I can't/won't leave my girls but that is a ripper idea Marty - abso bloody lutely wonderful IMHO....goooood on YOU

Totally agree Kym sounds like my kind of scene as well I so love any old things, coppers, historical buildings,

...I was thinking the same thing Matt!........knowing my luck I would end up ...sulky
bit busy though this year Marty, give us a yell next year when I hope the pressure is off a bit, sounds good to me.
