New AusMap! Where?

[angry]

Where would another Ausmap be held? Pick which locations you think you could get to if you had a couple of months notice and it was in the latter part of the year. (Oct/Nov)

I am prepared to organise one in Townsville if people are prepared to come that far. If not, we can wait and see who is interested and where everyone can get to.

[rtkd-badger]

Townville would be about it for me as I have a hard enough time getting away now.

[Kwajman]

I vote for Sydney.

[NaughtyKnight]

LOL, Kwaj would probably help if you lived in Australia ;).

I voted for Sydeny primarily for the fact thats where I am. I would be happy to travel pretty much anywhere though. I wouldnt be able to get out of work until 2006 :( however.

[Patrick Hughes]

I vote for Sydney! :)

[YODA]

I vote for Sydney.

Eh? Please explain!

[angry]

I vote for Sydney.

While I sure all the Australian members would love you to come, voting by people overseas will distort our poll. We want to know where it best for us Aussies. If you lucky enough to be coming from overseas you will be able to get a connecting flights to all of these locations.

Of course Kwaj you have to come now, otherwise we will all be badly disappointed! :(


I knew it was a good idea to show who voted! :)

[Colin Linz]

I voted for Brisbane. I don't think I'll be able to do much travelling at that time of the year.

[angry]

Looking like being held in the Brisbane or maybe Sydney area. We need more than four, so make sure all Aussie's on here has a vote.

[mhyst]

Brisbane! i don't think i could get to anywhere else. Make sure u don't hold it during schoolies tho! :D or end of year exams :bang:

[munkiejunkie]

Only way I could get there is if it was at brisbane, on a weekend. I got highschool

[Greg-VT]

We need more than four, so make sure all Aussie's on here has a vote.

We only had 5 year last and in my opinion it was fantasic.

I vote either Sydney or Brisbane-ish. Although Newcastle would be great... come see our beautiful city!

[rtkd-badger]

I could probably make Brissy if I had plenty of time, hell with jetstar I could probably go wherever

[NaughtyKnight]

Gotta love Jetstar. Only problem is you have to pay for beer!!

I'd probably save more by flying Qantas, and getting free booze. :D

[angry]

Gotta love Jetstar. Only problem is you have to pay for beer!!

I'd probably save more by flying Qantas, and getting free booze. :D

Nah, you pay for that on Qantas too. Just soft drinks are free. That is economy class anyway.

Still looking like Brisbane. most people can get a direct flight to there or are locals. We will have to see what happens with the poll over the next month. (It is time limited!)

Everyone should think of how they would like to have things run on the day. Training, food, drinks and all, maybe even a night out!

[NaughtyKnight]

Im down for Brisbane. I'll have a year off the whole of 2006. I've been saving all this year. Gonna have some rest before starting Uni.

I'll be gone for World Cup in Germany though, so hopefully it will be end of year.

The days events should be done like this.

Training
Booze
BBQ- more booze
more training (or try anyway :D)
Clubbing!!!!!!!!

[angry]

Well, Brisbanes up to 8 now!

Looks like going there again unless the southern state wake up and get to voting.

I think anymore than 10 would be a great turn out! :)

Maybe even more!!! :D

[NaughtyKnight]

The more turnout, the less money per person we will have to pay. Always good. :D

[nzric]

Don't know about you BrisVegas people, but my one-man Melbourne AusMAP is gonna go off!

[NaughtyKnight]

We will judge where it is, by who wins "my resterant rules". Only fair way to do it. :D

[angry]

We will judge where it is, by who wins "my resterant rules". Only fair way to do it. :D

Not in Melbourne then!

I don't think that the judges like that city! :(

I really liked the restaurants in Melbourne when I've been down there.

[NaughtyKnight]

Yeh the judges hate Melbourne.

The worst part about Melbourne is the hook turn. Who devised that!!!!!!!

[angry]

Yeh the judges hate Melbourne.

The worst part about Melbourne is the hook turn. Who devised that!!!!!!!


Yeah, those hook turns are a bit of a worry for us interstate drivers. Still it allows them to keep the trams in the city so I'll forgive them for it. :)

Not that I drive much when I'm in Melbourne, use taxi's or trains to avoid those hook turns when I go into the city. Much safer for everone and less stress for me in holiday mode! :D

[BuGsy]

I vote for brisbane, so easy to get there


when is this MAP meet happening??

[angry]

BuBsy, the poll is only open for a month. After we see who is interested we can work out when. I said earlier it could be in the last quarter of the year. It all depends on who and where to give us a when!

[angry]

Only another 28 days for this pole to run so I thought I might bump it along!

Come on Aussie, come on!

[samuri-man]

i'll go if munkiejunkie can

[angry]

Vote Now!

Time is nearly out for a vote. It is Brisbane by a long way, even with Sydney getting international help!

[NaughtyKnight]

Well I've already voted, looks like its just the usual suspects that want to go.

[angry]

Maybe we all shouldn't turn up as it would make it easy for the cops to pick up 'the usual suspects!'

I don't think that many people are checking out whats outside their own forums/topics and have not yet found out about this thread. (Yeah, I might be living in a dream world but it's a nice one! :D )

[NaughtyKnight]

We should definatly go during schoolies, lol imagine how many times we could get arrested! :D

[rtkd-badger]

Not a good idea, last time I got arrested I dropped a cop.
Bad decision :eek:

[Colin Linz]

Badger,

Last time I was arrested implies that there have more than one occasion that you have been arrested. You’re not some kind of bad guy are you? I don’t want anyone bustin a cap in my ass during this meet. :)

Lmao, no, I was just young and stupid, thankfully having gotten married and having a family has woken me up somewhat :D

[Trinity]

Being as sweet and as innocent as i am......i find it disturbing all this talk af getting arrested. I have never been arrested.......................................... ...................well not since i have been married anyways. I wonder how many people in OZ (sydney especialy) haven't had some sort of confrontation with the law i bet not many.

Look forward to meeting you all :D

[NaughtyKnight]

Damn!

All my chants are too naughty for this nice site! Guess you will have to wait to here it from the horses mouth at the meet. :D

We will have a all out sparing match, QLD vs NSW! :D

Cant promise about the clothes :D, but the waters always hot here in AUS. Too bad its bloody freezing at the moment.

[angry]

Geesh.... A few days a way from the pc and sydney is suddenly back in the running. I finally add my vote to Brisbane as I think this is going to be the location the largest group can get to. ( And to keep us Qlder's ahead of those blue mexican cockroaches!)

Still we could get both groups together in their own cities. Maybe even a small one in north Queensland, say at a nice beach with a pub close by! Cardwell? Would be a good saturday trip for the family Badger!

Actually the beach location thing is a good idea. No hire fees and most will have picnic areas with BBQ's. If we keep the costs down we'll all have money for the important part at the end!

Re-hydrating....

with BEER!
or your prefered poison!

Beach training is alway a relaxed and fun time for all. (unless it rains!)

Cardwell would be a lovely drive. It also means I would be able to pig out on "Jessie's Homemade Pies" :D

[NaughtyKnight]

Fighting on the beach! My god, you must want a workout and a half!

I'll bring a few cases of beer, were gonna need them! :D

[NaughtyKnight]

And to keep us Qlder's ahead of those blue mexican cockroaches!)

mexican cockroaches? Man I want brisbane to win, then you pink canadians wont come down and polute our beautiful state! :D:D:D :Angel:

[Trinity]

I wanna vote again cant let those toads win, then again maybe i should because it would be the only thing they will win this year BLUE BLOOD BLUE BLUE BLOOD.

[gemtkd]

C'mon people vote Sydney?!!

[NaughtyKnight]

LOL.

Always good to have outside support. :D

[NaughtyKnight]

New idea. MAP MEET ORIGIN!!!!!!!!!

Imagine how violent it would be though, hahaha, be such a laugh.

We could bring up toheys new, and you guys can supply the 4x :D.

[angry]

Well, that was another one for us great Queenslanders to add to our collection. Even when the other side is throwing the ball forward to score trys!

Last chance to vote.

Vote NOW!

[NaughtyKnight]

QLD suck!

How about whoever wins the Origin, hosts the meet? Considering its Qld and NSW leading the votes so far.

[tl Eric]

Great idea!! That way we're guaranteed to have the meet in QLD :D , though half the players are from Nth QLD so maybe we'll have to have it up there.

Might as well book your tickets now KC :rolleyes:

[NaughtyKnight]

HA!

Dont count your chickens mate.

Your going to get owned, just you wait. ;)

[Greg-VT]

I think its safe to say that Brisbane has it. We could go on forever deciding where it going to be. We can't exactly keep saying "Last chance" and "Last chance", we have to stop the vote somewhere, otherwise we'll never get anywhere! :D

Ok, so, its going to be in Brisbane? Everyone satisfied ? ;)

Now, when? I'll put down later this year, perhaps September? Any suggestions?

[NaughtyKnight]

Well I cant make it at all this year, work is swamping me, and there is no way they'll let me get away. :cry:

Next year Im taking a year off to travel and relax before going to uni, so I'll see you guys then.

[rtkd-badger]

A freakin year, man, Im lucky to get a weekend off.

[NaughtyKnight]

Lol.

Im quiting my job at the end of this year when I have enough dosh. I cant hack being a chef for much longer and I want some action in my life. Para Military police is my best option I think :D.

Dont worry people, I'll be there next year with beers on, err i mean bells :D

[Greg-VT]

Ok... so does everyone say about early next year?

Should we go for late this year or early next?

[NaughtyKnight]

Why not both?

[Greg-VT]

I'm more thinking of a meet where as many people as possible can come, instead having it split and have two small meets....

[NaughtyKnight]

As long as its not during the world cup, i'll be in Germany drinking beer by the stein. :love:

[watto86]

Brisbane?! Awww! lol. Too far for me. Oh well. Maybe next time round.

[angry]

Well now that the poll is closed let discuss the when.

Brisbane is the clear winner, but we could have another meet early next year in sydney as well, or even this year if the blues supporters want to get one rolling.

My idea is still for around October and maybe at one of the beaches near Bris say Southport or such. There's a nice park area at a beach near cleveland?

[nzric]

So no takers for sunny Melbourne? :(

I'll be in Brissy for a few days next month, but I'll have to bow out of any event later this/next year

[|MT|omar]

So no takers for sunny Melbourne? :(

Looks like it's just us 2 ey, bah

[Falcore]

Southport and Cleveland are a long way from each other.

Out of interest, what sort of things will be going down at this meet thingy?

[NaughtyKnight]

Sparing
Drinking
Learning other peoples ma
Drinking
Sparing
Drinking
Learning a few new moves
Drinking
Clubbing :D

[Falcore]

sounds like a saturday afternoon at mine with a few mates...

Ok, if it's in bris or the surrounding regions, count me in.

[angry]

It all quiet here now! Go away for a couple of weeks............

Well let us start working on a date for the Brisbane meet. I think just before the september school holidays would be a good time. Say the first or second saturday in september?

Anyone one else with another preferred date. ( In this year, we can do another next year!)

[NaughtyKnight]

Count me out this year. Cant wait for next year.

[Jesse@RTKD]

What exactly is an ausmap? im kind interested coz i live a few hours away from brizvegas but im moving there next month.

[NaughtyKnight]

Its where all us Aus Mappers meet up and get incredibly drunk, train in ma, and then go out clubbing :D

[samuri-man]

unless you too young to drink

or the desegnated driver

[NaughtyKnight]

I was thinking of getting a few rooms in a hotel up there, that way no need to drive back on the same day.

If you are too young to drink, me and Badger will drink for you. :D

[rtkd-badger]

So if your smart it is a good place to stay away from :D :D :D

Stop swearing.

[NaughtyKnight]

Where's the beer? :D

IN MY BELLY! :D

[rtkd-badger]

Damn, Guts, K im going to go and have a scotch then :p

[NaughtyKnight]

WE MUST BE TWINS!

I spent the last of my dosh on a bottle of jonnie black:D. Thank god I get payed tomorrow. :love:

[angry]

Times people, times! We can always get the grog when we get there!

I'll be in Brisbane on the 16-17th of July so I'll check out some sights that may be good. Maybe a beach with ok hotels with reasonable rates not to far from the airport or a train station for ease of access for the traveling fools like myself.

[NaughtyKnight]

Surfers is great, nice clubs there aswell. :D

Fighting on the beach? Thats going to be very hard! :cry:

[angry]

Reasonable rates! Surfers hasn't had good rates since I was a kid!

As for sparring or grappling on sand, pick a flat and firm bit near the surf, but not to close if the waves are up!

[NaughtyKnight]

I've only ever really been to Surfers in QLD.

I'll let you guys decide, considering I wont be able to come this year.

If its good, then next year can be the same place.

[Jesse@RTKD]

Lets get some SAKE...i havent tried that stuff yet... and wot time of year do ya reckon this Ausmap thingy will be held?

[NaughtyKnight]

Sake is dirty. YUCK!

[angry]

Sake needs to be real hot.

Great for cold and flu and all other ailments!
(Temp. fix only!!! :D )

Not the really the choice for a beaut, sunny Queensland day. But then again............

[Falcore]

But then again, check the news. Hasn't been a sunny day here for about 10 days now. haha. Beautiful one day, flooded the next....

[samuri-man]

quiet you there's been three sunny days now and that flooding is well needed

[Greg-VT]

Have you guys let this one go or what? :p

[Colin Linz]

Hi Greg,

Hows things down your way? I don’t know what is happening with this now. I lost touch with MAP for awhile; I was just too busy with work, training and uni.

[NaughtyKnight]

We have had 2 weeks straight of cloudless blue skies at 23c. Its supposed to be 23c!

[angry]

I have been a bit flatout working out of town for a while but will be back at the end of August and see what we can come up with from there!

[Greg-VT]

So whats going on with this guys? I though you might have had some going by the time I got back from a bit of trip. ;)

Hi Greg,

Hows things down your way? I don’t know what is happening with this now. I lost touch with MAP for awhile; I was just too busy with work, training and uni.

Hey there Colin! Hows things going? Looks like this has turned into a non-event. I've had a few words with one or two of us who were at our Meet last year... doesn't looked like this its sparked much interest from much of us, the ways its going. But, I'm in the same boat as you were - been a tad too busy for MAP for while too. Long holidays don't help much either....

[NaughtyKnight]

Well it better be going down next year cause thats when I wanna come.

Come to sydney, we can go to my fave club. The dragonfly in kingscross :D

We could go to porkeys aswell, but not if they'res ladies present :D

[rtkd-badger]

Well I just had a back operation and had to pay a small fortune for it so count me out for a while :bang:

[angry]

Sorry, have taken a contract out at a mine site in central Qld for the next six months, so I have let it drop off the radar. If some one else is interested in getting together a venue and advise everyone well ahead of time I might be able to make it but probably not until after april.

[cairnsckd]

I am happy to have you use either of my venues for the purpose of an AusMap Meet, however, they are both located in Cairns, Nth Queensland.

We fit quite easily about 50 students in at once easily.

Just an offer. Maybe rtkd-badger would like to check it out if you're interested. There's accomodation right next to both schools.

[rtkd-badger]

I would be more than happy to do that. Although I think Angry, you and myself are the only ones far enough north for it to be viable.

[angry]

Plenty of direct flight to cairns from down south that are quite cheap! I would probably make the drive but not until this work contract is over, hopefully in march.

[NaughtyKnight]

I would drive up to cairns, but I doubt I'd be able to drive home again for a few weeks after challanging badger to a drinking competiton :D.

[rtkd-badger]

I would drive up to cairns, but I doubt I'd be able to drive home again for a few weeks after challanging badger to a drinking competiton :D.

[cairnsckd]

Can always crash at the school until that bladder problem clears ;)

[angry]

I would drive up to cairns, but I doubt I'd be able to drive home again for a few weeks after challanging badger to a drinking competiton :D.

Much cheaper and easier to fly ! Trust me, I have driving the east coast enough to know to avoid it when ever possible. As for drinking comps just spill lots! It helps if the other guys twice your size and your losing! Just make sure he buys the ones you spill! :D

[angry]

Hey, is anyone interested in trying to get a meet happening again, I'm a bit busy to organise one but can turn up anywhere on the east coast with a few week notice. Would mind getting in some training with different people after giving up teaching a few months ago as work was not giving me time to run a club.

[Lily]

Anywhere on the east coast? Like Sydney?!!!

[Cannibal Bob]

Anywhere on the east coast? Like Sydney?!!!
Nah, Newcastle. :p

[Colin Linz]

OK, lets split the differance and make it Brisbane.

[Melanie]

Come on - someone gonna take responsibility for this? :)

[Pacificshore]

I need a reason to fly down under...so come on just say when :D

[angry]

OK, lets split the differance and make it Brisbane.

Brisbane is easy for me. Sydney or Melbourne also. What we need is somebody how can arrange a venue for a Saturday which we could use to train in. If we could get the use of a training hall already set up, it would be great. Otherwise we do it at a park or beach somewhere. (don't say Surfer's Paradise) I can probably organise one in Townsville but most people are in the south so it should be down there.

I think we should aim to have it after easter to allow everyone to settle into the new year and get over any xmas debts. Any weekend should suffice. We would be able to get by without a lot of gear, although mats would be a great advantage.

Colin, you had a lot to do with the last one, so if you are prepared to do one again, I'll lend as much help as I can from up here.

PS: I think I might pm badger to see if he would like to do one at mission beach (if cyclone damage is sorted now) or some other lovely tropical location.
