29th November is my birthday, so that rules me out!
shasta,
Why would you not come on your birthday...?
Dude-what a way to celebrate it...
I seriously could not think of a better way to spend my saturday night...
fly down after lunch so you still have the morning...
even though mackdunk is saying nothing,( I must admit that is poor form)... I personally think that the 29th would suit better because hes moving into his house and will need at least one week from the 14th to move in....
theres more chance he will come on the 29th than 23rd...
:cool:

SHREWDY, For me to come down its two hours drive to the airport fly down grab a cab get to whereever. It looks like you dont have enough people to make up a forum let alone a convention. I did suggest an overnight convention in a motel with transport from the airport, not something you could hold in a phone booth. That might make it more interesting for those out of towners who could relax and get acquanted. Stick your thinking cap on man, get with it, life is to short to waste time going that far to stand three hours in a boozer. Macdunk
Mackdunk,
Listen up...
Think of it as a journey, and expedition...
How could this not be better than any other holiday yourve ever been on...
Dont be all self centered concerned about yourself, think about what you can share with us, think about the big picture, think about how many people you will be letting down, think about the future of National convention meetings, think about what you have to offer us....think about it man...
This is not just about you...
You will be here... Im sure of it.... the suspense of it all eah....
You could fly down with strat...you big kids would have a great trip...
upside,
I read it in the canta last week... We will wait and see...
:cool:

Shrewdie, Let's just organise it with MacDunk's better half... I'm betting she'll pack his bags and have him on that plane... :D
Poor old Macdunk, He gets challenged to a share competition in a one on one in a market he says will downtrend leading up to a crash. When he streaks to the lead all goes quiet with no updates just like the NZX competition. I feel like the last straw about to be loaded on to the camel. They actually think that i am stupid enough to drive 2 hours to the airport, catch a plane to christchurch, take a cab to some boozer for about three hours to have a few drinks with five people. I am out the market as you all know, so why would i contribute to anything you might want to discuss, other than tell you to cash up before you lose more than you are already doing.
The time to make hay is when the sun is shining; thats when you get in boots and all, i would hate to come down and see five people sobbing in their beer. Auckland had eight people, looks like Wellington with six, and you lot five. Get a decent venue near an airport organize a few guest speakers taken from the ranks of sharetrader. The most important thing is get someone to organize it in a professional manner. The way your national convention is going, makes me think you lot wouldnt know how to run a sh*t fight in a cow shed.

Come on now Duncan. When you were 25 years old and standing in the trenches at Gallipoli I'm sure you didn't say "things aren't going our way chaps. Let's just chuck it in eh?"
You seem to have accepted the argument that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Maybe if you spent a couple of hours with the young whipper snappers at the National Convention you'd put the gloves back on and go another round with the market? Dont you miss the taste of your own blood?
Planning is underway for the November National Convention, but, being a voluntary committee, we're always looking for more help. Are you offering to present a lecture on "A falling tide drops all boats"? Or perhaps "Bonus Bonds - Fun and Secure"?
Come on. You know you want to.
By the way - the Avon is looking particularly picturesque today. It has a lovely sepia tinge to it.
Hello All

Saw something about a meeting in August is this still on?
