I am thinking about attending the save the gouldian fund open day in october. I was wondering if any other forum members were considering attending, if so it might be a great way to meet up with each other.

Cheers

hi fellas...it is a long way...but if you were going to think about it remember the local finch club has a bird sale on the sunday at Singleton and then aviary visits on the monday ...not so bad if you can make a weekend of it......its also a big cost once you take all the expenses into account...so the hints that were not so subtle :lol: have been duely noted
cheers

I'd really like to make it to Singleton for the bird sale, but it's a bit far from Cooranbong and then back to Sydney for work on the monday.

its a big hike....but you could go back to sydney via the putty road....would be quicker than going back to the freeway.....depends where you have to go in sydney I guess......it also involves staying in Singelton sat night (or wherever you choose)...there are guest speakers on after dinner usually...its a good weekend for finchos

Sounds like a wonderful trip, definately not something I could do with the limited time I get off work.
