As a member I am to far away to attend. I will very much be looking forward to any video posted to view though.

Also a member and look forward to a video please Sam Craig

Looking forward to attending the Hunter gig & catching up. By the time Gary gets to the Sydney meeting, he'll be able to do the talk in his sleep.

I heard Gary speak at a Mornington Melbourne Avicultural club meeting some time back. He is such a knowledgable speaker on finchs and softbills, I recommend him to all that can attend.
He also has pictures of a lot of birds most of us would love to have.

I was going to get him to steer, so there'll be no sleeping!

AFF members please say hello (and buy me a drink afterwards!)
