Canterbury weather meet

Unread post by mikestormchaser »

Hi fellow weather nuts,I feel coming into storm season and the warmer months it would be appropiate to have a catch up pre season and have a chat all weather matters recently, and future prospects!
I have been talking to Aaron and he has happerly said he would host a meeting at his place on sat september 12th.
I can take numbers, so anyone interested can say yay or nay on here and private message me for details and address.

cheers.

Meeting to start at 2pm. Mount Somers is the location.

Is a bit far away perhaps but some including Bob Crowder and John Gaul mentioned they would like to come out here for a meeting. Thanks for bringing this topic to light Mike :)

Cheers

It's not like an official meeting or anything btw, just a casual catch up with weather minded people.

Will put on some nibbles and stuff and if any want to hang around for a bbq around 6pm let mikey know.

Cheers

Sorry team I will have to raincheck, having just been away for a week another road trip might be pushing the barrow out too far on the family front.

Will keep an eye out for one a bit more local in the future
