Garry as discussed in the email last night (mon) I said I wasnt sure if I would be able to attend, but we have asked some other members if they could go up,and grab a spot so all bases are covered,Liz may even be available to go up.
I understand you also had an email from Dave confirming that someone will be there to "mind" us a spot.
Unsure what you mean by doing a picnic properly,a rug, a chook, salads, some drinks, good weather and great people is all that is needed for a great day.
If you would prefer to cancel it feel free.
