Hopefully we will have a new member joining us soon, he spent the afternoon with us and I think he's still in denial about the 'itis'. I know your lurking out there , its time to come home

Knock knock!

Hi all, after some coaxing I have finally joined the forum (will post up in the intro thread shortly).

What a fantastic day!

It was great catching up with people I
(a) haven't seen for many years (Hogsy) P.S thanks for bringing the photo from our under 8's soccer days
(b) haven't seen in a few weeks (Golly)
(c) haven't seen in a few hours after leaving work (Kendoll)
And (d) had the honour of meeting for the first time after having admired some of the BBQ table creations he's posted up on the forums in Aus (JoCool).

I'm glad JC could make it after all. Did he get his WKC patch?

Thanks Duke, I hope so although I have to admit though with only 1 kettle in my collection I was out of my league here, but I enjoyed admiring the others on display.
I'd like to say a massive thanks to all involved, in particular Golly for hosting the event. It was a privilege to eat off Australias first lemon in the inauguration of both the WKC Aussie chapter as well as Golly's Gadial Ganing which I have watched take shape over the last few months. The food was amazing, the steak was the best I've eaten in a long time and the drumsticks we're awesome.

Definitely looking forward to the next one, hoping this becomes a regular event.

  The mods in action, the grills, the displays, the grays, the double blues, the food, the fellowship.....everything's a total winner there gang !!!!

Really glad to see this....esp. on the  "Stellar Alignment Weekend" or whatever caused all this stuff to happen on or near the 21st !!!!!


Really Grate Show !!!!!!

Am I wrong to think it was not hard to catch JoCool striking this pose for the camera multiple times?

[Jocool]

Trust me G, as far as eating goes, I'm a relative light weight.

Let me take a moment to thank the boys for putting us up for the afternoon. Although it's the first time I have met most of these guys, I'm sure that we'll be firm friends from now. And it's great to know that we can give each other a ribbing and not be offended!

And even though one of us purports to be an Aussie, I still believe we have a ring-in!

Thats alright Joe, we consider you an Aussie.

Join the queue!

I think that pic of Joe and I is of me taking a pic of my tri-tip roll.

I would like to add my thanks to the guys (especially Dave for hosting). It was agreat day and just nice to talk kettles with someone who appreciates them as much as you do (and whose eyes don't glaze over at the time).

Totally disappointed that I didn't see any "shrimp on barby, mate" - not to stereotype or anything.

Great meetup, gents!  Thanks for passing on the spirit of WKC and for sharing it with us here.
