Hi everyone

I am planning in taking approx 10 - 14 days holidays from work during
easter, probably from the 3rd of april to the 13th or 16th, and heading
north to NE NSW (Ballina/Coff's Harbour/etc) and probably up to Brisbane to
meet the brisbane chasers.
 Anyone who wants to come is more than welcome, i just want to get an idea
of numbers at this stage, and i will try and find out about
petrol/accomodation at places along the way (maybe the brisbane people or
people along the NSW coast such as Paul at Taree or anyone else up around
NE NSW can put us up for a night or 2, it would be most appreciated :) I
can take 2 people maximum, and that will split costs 3 ways. Of course if
there are storms we will chase, if not we can be tourists :)
 Please contact me if you want to come, remeber this is during the
school/Uni holidays so hopefully there will be some interest.
 Basically i have 6 weeks paid holidays and i need a break, ill save the
rest for november/december/january next year.
 
Thanks for your time!

Matt Smith

Hi all,

Here is my official intro!

Been in Brisbane just two and a half months. Moved up from Canberra, where I
lived for two and a half years. Before that was Melbourne where I grew up.

I guess I'm primarily interested in photographing lightning. I'm always
excited at watching the development of a storm for the possibility of
reaching this aim. I also admire the big chunky cloud formations! (Please
excuse me if I'm being too technical!) I, like most of the newbies, are only
just starting to grasp the lingo. I have a great weather book, however,
which gives me all types of clouds, with plenty of pics, and heaps more
about the weather, and am currently finding it very interesting.

Canberra was frustrating for me regarding storms, as they were quite rare
(in the time I spent there, anyhow). I moved up to Brisbane for work, but
was also very excited as I was told Brisbane had a lot more lightning
storms. So I'm hoping to get lots of photos!

My details are as follows:
Suburb: Toombul, Brisbane

Well I guess I should put some more details on the board too :-)

My full name is Lindsay Pearce (same name when i'm empty). I live in
Blackheath in the Upper Mountains with my parter Marion. I'm 33 and 
have been interested in the weather all my life but the interest has
increased since I moved to the mountains almost 2 years ago. We get lots
of interesting variables up here that make weather observing great fun.

I work part time on my writing (2nd novel set in the mountains) and part
time in contract delivery work and also assist with Marion's music
business, she teaches at the conservatoriums in Wentworth Falls and
Penrith. I also work with male surivors of sexual abuse (Coz I am one)
in the local area via support groups etc. I have also had pretty major
health struggles but am around 50-70% better now in spite of the docs
prognosis etc.

One of my great loves is walking out in a snow storm up here when its
below Zero coz virtually no-else is around, cept maybe the odd Yowie or
two - the subject of my next novel for young folk - "Howl".

Regards,



Lindsay and Marion

 Original chain mail letters contained some kind of threat - like all your
relatives will suffer from shoe eating sock syndrome for the next fifty
years if you 'break the chain'.  Many of them included the need to send a
'gift' of some kind to the last person, add your name to the bot

My windscreen has never been the same Jimmy since those bugs got to
it. Almost as good as me 'filming' about 20 minutes of great storm
footage on the 13/11/98 only to get home to find the tape I was
'using' sitting in it's sealed package in the glove box.

Maybe we should have an Einstein award!

G'day Paul !

Hey thanks for the offer! so far there has been no interest in the trip but
hopefully that will change later tonight when people check there email :)
If no one comes ill probably come up as far north as Taree by myself to
visit you and get away from this place for a couple of days, then come back
home. Maybe if Matt Piper or someone wants to come for a few days only we
dont have to go all the way up to NE NSW, im sure theres one or 2 touristy
things we can do in Taree!
Cya later

Yep - and proud of it!  Bet you that's something I have achieved and you won't :-)

At least, not without surgery and a lot of cash - think it's elective.

For the edification of those youngies who don't think you'll be an oldie - ever
- let me tell you, my age is entirely appropriate for the length of time I have
been on this earth;
My grandies are the most fascinating and rejuvenating things I know;
Majordomo didn't ask about age status;
And they call me Nandi - not Nanna:-)

Have a lovely day - - - -

I just wanted to let everyone know that I;

1) Will bring along a VHS video with the Texas 97 tornado storms 
   that was on channel 7 last Saturday.

2) Will include a copy of my video shot in 1991 that shows about
   4 waterspouts (maybe 6) in a line on Lake Malawi from the 
   shores of Malawi near Chilumba looking east across the lake 
   to Tanzania some 30km distant. The conditions that caused 
   this rare phenonema warrants some discussion.

3) Raise the issue of proxy and/or postal voting for remote ASWA
   future members. There are some legal matters to be considered
   in relation to this and the logistics of managing the process.

Matt, 

It sounds like a great idea, and I would be in for it however, my family 
is planning to move and easter seems like the time that will happen. 
Sorry. But it would be good to spend some time with other awsa members.

Hi Matt,

There's plenty of room at my place here in  Ballina if you want to "crash"
for the night....if you are staying or just passing thru, give us a email or
call me on
02 66867192......it would be great to catch up with some of you guys from
Sydney.
See Ya's
John from Ballina
P.S If any others on "the list" are up this way, you're more than welcome to
stay at my place!!
