Greetings all, hard to believe that it is almost a year since the last Sculptures By The Sea AP meet.

If you don't know, Sculptures By The Sea is held between Bondi and Tamarama each year.

Details here... (http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/Home.aspx)

For ease of parking, this is normally done as a dawn meet. More detials about the meet to follow.

Ha Ha! :D Maybe in my youth......although I was never a big KISS fan but I did admire their makeup.:music05: Mind you, our Concert band doesn't only play classical. occasionally we get into some of the rock music.

Well after band rehearsal tonight I am happy to say that I can now attend this shoot AGAIN. Apparently the oldies are going out on a "pub crawl" and asked if our band could come at a later date which is now 1st December. :efelant:

Hi everyone,
I mentioned to a couple of you that we are going to the Hunter Valley on the 3rd. Just found out we will be leaving at 8 in the morning, so I won't be able to make sculptures.:(
Hope you all have a wonderful meet and get loads of great images. Looking forwad to seeing them.

Hi guys, for those that can make it for the sunrise meet, I would suggest a 5am start at Marks Park. A convenient meeting point will be the amenities block near the corner of Marks Lane and Kenneth Street. Marks Park is about half-way between Bondi and Tamarama.

Question..

Will I need change for parking meters??

Question..

Will I need change for parking meters??

There are parking meters at Bondi but not Tamarama. From memory, they take credit cards. They have put parking restrictions, generally 1 or 2 hour around Tamarama starting at 8am. If you don't mind walking a bit, you should be able to find free parking. Annoyingly, they have closed off some streets and made others one-way this year.

If we're shooting sunrise then there's normally a few spaces available along Pacific Ave at Tamrama beach. No meter just timed parking, and you should be long gone before you run out of time. ;) Just be early.

Sorry peoples I'm pulling out- have seen some photos from sculptures and it does nothing for me. I sound spoilt I know. Thinking of heading out somewhere for dawn on Saturday instead.

Hi guys, I have just returned from a little bit of travelling so haven't been able to post much into AP. It probably isn't that relevant to know who isn't coming ; and only a couple have posted any intention of making this meet. It might be nice to see some new faces - we often get posts asking when the next meet will occur but for some reason, those that ask rarely come.

Anyway, for those that intend to come, please confirm.

Cheers

Peter

I was just about to post a similar message Pete but you have beat me to it.

I am definetly coming unless something unforseen happens in the mean time. Jason may turn up as well but I doubt it. :D

Ness - if you are going, do you want to go in together?

Paul - can you bring that old camera you saved for me. I have a family shoot on the Sunday and I might be able to use it as a prop? TIA
