It would be interesting to know who is planning to go to the SASS Conference at St Marys Senior High on 23 and 24 November.

We could plan to meet together and put some faces to the Nicknames and comments.

Robbie

Hi Robbie,

As one of the organising team, I'll be there on both days. The Thursday evening drinks & dinner is a great opportunity to meet other participants in a less formal setting.

See you there. Steph

I will be attending again for the fourth time, although will be unable to attend the dinner. I am looking forward to yet another great conference. Always learn a lot and enjoy the networking experience.

Julie

Hi Robbie

I too am looking forward to meeting chemtalk people at the conference.
I will only be able to go on Friday
we need to wear a red carnation or other identifier so we know who is who
(sounds like a james bond movie)
anyway its always good to meet people at the conference

Is there anyone out there going from the illawarra region?
maybe we can travel together.

Hi m
I have already pm'd you about this.
Last year a bus was organised by someone (it may have been Warrawong), and I was hoping it was being organised for this year as well.
I haven't heard anything yet, and if it doesn't eventuate we could travel together anyway.
Regards
Carol

Hi All

Could I please gave details of registration etc. I would like our new labbie to attend.

also if anyone has any details of couses, PD etc in this area could you please let me know. TAFE no longer do the correspondence course and the RACI course had to get canned. I know it can be done through the TAFE traineeship thing but that is not a possibility for this person at the moment. They are booked in for the "Handling Hazardous Substances " 1 day course at TAFE.

Thanks
Carol

As one of the committee I look forward to meeting all of you

Hi Robyn
I'm going if you want to come with me.
Do you go Galston/Dural way through the backway?

Any one needing a lift from Hoxton Park, Hinchinbrook area. I have one space left in our car. We car pool. Going both days Thurs & Friday.

Is anyone going from the airport Thursday morning? It could be good to join forces to tackle the public transport system... I (theoretically) land at 7:45am...
Rosalie

Hi All,

Several of us are coming down from Tamworth for the conference next week.

I am going to be staying down for the weekend to see my sister who lives in North Richmond and was wondering if there was anybody who will be there who could give me a lift back that direction on Friday afternoon. I was planning to just catch a couple of trains but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask anyway.

Looking forward to meeting lots of online friends.

Wendy

Hi all
I will also be coming to the conference, this I think will be my fourth time. Love it.
Also glad to get back online finally after much trouble as the updated Polyester

Looking forward to meeting you all. Those traveling by air, have a good flight. Those on the road take care. See you tomorrow.

I'm flying out this afternoon from Coffs Harbour. While I HATE flying , it will be worth it, as this will be my fourth St Marys conference, and they're always fabulous! Also spending the weekend in Sydney and going to the Chemical Safety course in Normanhurst on Monday.
Julie

I'm staying over, too, Julie, for the Monday. See you!

Just wondering what SASS stands for? I know these postings were about last year's conference and that I'm out of area completely, but it's nice to understand what's going on around the country - you never know, I may be in the area for some reason...but who qualifies to attend?

Don't worry about my last posting, I immediately went to a forum on job description and the first entry explained it!
Ah Serendipity!
