Auckland beer and flux Xmas get together

[apelly]

I hit the flux motherload yesterday. I need to offload quite a bit of it.

A couple of us in Auckland thought it'd be fun to catch up sometime over the holiday period. Is anyone else interested? There'll be free flux!

Bump for apelly

Cheers tautech.

Looks like we're all bunch of curmudgeons over here this Xmas.

You, hendorog & I are all interested though.

I'm kind of unavailable from the 29th.

I propose the afternoon of the 28th. hendorog and I are quite close to each other, so I'm trying to think of a place that's a third of the way to you tautech. The only places sort of fitting that criteria that come to mind are the Malthouse in Greenhithe, and Bar Africa in Albany.

I'm open to ideas.

If I have to come over the Greenhithe bridge then it's not far to the Shore so no worries, a little bit further is nothing to get concerned about. You and hendrog sort it out, I'll fit in with whatever works for you guys.

In case there are any interested lurkers:

3pm at the Portmsn's Leg in Glenfield at 3pm today.

Well, I thought that was a great success.

Couple of beers, a few laughs, bit of gossip about you guys and I offloaded an unhealthy amount of flux.

hendorog, if you can't find anything to do with those extra two bottles, you don't have to keep them. I'll work something out eventually.

Yep, good time thanks to appelly. 
Shame we couldn't coax a few other members from the woodwork but maybe they're away. 
Great to meet you both and look forward to keeping in touch.

I got well and truly fluxed.

Here's a link to a (bad) copy of the datasheet for the flux:

Passed some Flux on to a good mate, he was well pleased and offered thanks by finding a link to PC-81 solvent, one of the mentioned Multicore solvent cleaners listed in the above datasheet:
