Date

9th October '94

RDV

For those from the South or East or inner city:

9am at my place: (85 Ingram Lane, Kensington. Directions below since most street directories seem not to show it, or only name the adjoining street.)

For those from the West:

9am at the Jolly Frog in Windsor. I don't know Windsor that well, and I think David Watkin <D.Watkin@uws.EDU.AU> may be the only person from that side of town, so contact him to see if there're enough people to make it worth meeting there first.

For those from the North and West:

10am at Storey Park, corner of Lodge Street and the Pacific Hwy, Hornsby. Galston Road comes out 2 blocks south of the park, so turn left and it'll be on your left. Of course, if someone up that way wants to volunteer their abode, all to the good!

Route

North from my place, over the bridge (via the Wall Of Death before they remove the Quay overpass) down Epping Road, Delhi Road, Lady Game Drive, Commenara Parkway, Pennant Hills Road, Storey Park @ Hornsby. A more direct route if we're running late.

North from Hornsby to along the Hwy, left via Peats Ridge and Central Mangrove to Wiseman's Ferry, maybe to St Albans for lunch. (Preferences, folks?)

Organisation

Convoy to Hornsby, then everyone sets their own pace with regrouping every so often (especially at turnoffs). Probably the Peat's Ferry Bridge near Brooklyn, the turnoff at Calga (right for Gosford, left for Peats Ridge and Wiseman's), the left turn at Central Mangrove, then Spencer and then the Ferry.

My current idea of who's meeting where is:

My place

Mark Imisides, Barry Manor, Thomas Cohen, Colin Panniset, Robert Mitchell <robertm@syd.csa.com.au> maybe, Brett Squires and Julia Kitney, Patrick Jordan, maybe Kym Fizzell?, David Dawes <dawes@physics.su.OZ.AU> Andrew Winter <andrew@ce.su.OZ.AU>

Windsor

David Watkin <D.Watkin@uws.EDU.AU> and his kids is that all?

Hornsby

maybe Richard House, maybe Pam Devon, maybe some of their friends, David Bilbow <dnb@unitract.dialix.oz.au>, U1000837@csdvax.csd.unsw.EDU.AU (name unknown)

How to get to my place:

• Dowling Lane is an offshoot of Ingram Road, which hangs off Virginia Street, Kensington. It may be best to park in the bulge at the end of the Lane, as the lane itself is narrow and I don't know how my neighbours may react to multitudes of bikes at 9am on a Sunday.
• From the city or such like: south down South Dowling Street to the lights at Link Road (just before the Golf Course). Immediately past the lights there's a sideroad to the left; turn left. It drops down into Ingram Road and Dowling Lane hangs left off that as soon as the road levels out.
• From the south (I suppose General Holmes Drive) it may be easiest to head onto South Dowling Street, left at the Link Road lights, do a U-turn and do a right back out of the lights and left into the side road.
• From Kingsford, Anzac Parade (heading north, turn left at Todman Ave, left (at the lights) into Lenthall Street, right into Virginia Street, left into Ingram Road, right into Ingram Lane.
