The happy sailers - Planning meeting 13 June 2010

There has been a lot of time between blogs and a lot of things have happen.  This is an update of the main goings on.

13 June 2010 - Planning Meeting at the Grants

This was our first get together as a group to start the planning of what we would do and get a rough idea of what we were all doing.  It was a great afternoon which will be repeated many times I am sure before we go and on the cruise.

But one of the most important jobs for us to do was come up with the cruise logo.  Much head scratching occurred until we thought of combining our initials.  Many combinations were experimented with but Craig had the brainwave to use LDGM.  This sounded pretty obvious - Ledger Grant Dolan Musson.  But Craig was not thinking this way.  The letters actually meant:

Lets Go Drink More

What a genius!!!!

Bill then went away to try to make something of it.  A few alternatives were put to the group with a vote made.  And low and behold, the following was the selected cruise logo.  What a rip snorter.

We all survived unscathed from the devastating January 2011 South-East Qld floods to get together for some more planning with us now being in the same calendar year as the cruise. Everybody firmed up their itineraries with them being tweaked here and there.  The main aim of the get together this time was to decide on Shore Excursions.  A good time was had again and the excursions were selected.  Andrew also brought samples of the cruise shirts for fitting.  The LGDM logo is to be embroidered on them as a memento of the trip.  Following are some pics from the evening session.
