NSW Season 8 - 2011
As far as I know there won't be any more events for this year, so why not start early planning next year... To be honest we need to do a lot of planning as a group if we're to ensure things don't get worse
The beetles have really taken off, so no reason to hold back there. Main concern is construction of a portable beetle arena so we can try for public events at places such as Serial space or wherever...
I know Nick just got back from a very long and well deserved holiday, but what's thoughts on that arena? I paid my membership fees for this year as did I think everyone else, so could we use that money to directly fund it rather than Nick's generous yet unfair offer to front it all himself? Even if its not enough it'd be a large chunk.
I obtained the details for starting a club at UTS, it's ridiculously complicated but may be worth persuing, as the uni offers generous grants to clubs and members don't have to be strictly from the uni. I'd need to round up 15 other UTS peoples to start it however, so i'll see how that goes... Bonus is there isn't already a 'robotics' club and a lot of people seem damn interested when they see mine, so might have luck!
Hope no one thinks i'm jumping the gun, just keeping up the enthusiasm/ procrastinating horrifically.
Proposed dates for this year : Draft only.
16th April - Jeff Backyard Cleanup day + Club social meet
7th May - First proper Ant competition in Sydney? Also Beetle Comp?
25th June - Feathers!
13th August - Could be either?
1-2nd October Battle Shed - See how the year progresses, we might be able to revive battleshed.
3rd December - Holidays Bash, maybe more of a social meet, with a special challenge, like some soccer events or something like the annihilator a few years ago? Was pretty fun even though I could only make the 1st day..
Most important is setting a meet date with ok by Jeff, to help organise his backyard, imho. _________________ ( •_•)
