Re: [GeelongSFClub] ideas...

Hi Two Sheds (You must have been expecting that :-) )

I love the idea of a swap meet, I'd like to hope I can find some things that I could bring along, not sure off the top of my head.
I definitely agree though that we want more people likely to come along - so let's give it some time to discuss, then we can choose a date and I'll be happy to print up some ads and distribute them.
 
So anyone else have comments/suggestions for this? Guidlelines for swap meets (I've never actually been to one)?

Hi Ben et.al.
 
You were asking about ideas for SF club events...
 
I was tidying up the shed (i have two sheds...) and noticed that I have a surplus of junk - much of it SF or SF-related.  (Spare flux capacitors, that sort of thing.)
 
I don't know how many other people are in the same boat, but it occurred to me that maybe a 'genuine' SF swap-meet might be fun - if there was enough interest... You'd want to be assured of a reasonable attendance to make it worth the effort, I guess
 
I could easily fill a table (or ten...)
 
Just a thought.
 
Cheers,
 
David

I've been to a couple of fannish ones, and they've been fun, though the awkward thing is working out how to ensure that all the good things don't get snaffled...
