Sorry to hear this, but the more the merrier. :-)

 Hopefully Lindsay will be well enough to join us when we go :)

Chemo is coming along well. Feel pretty off most of the time but i'm making a
speedy recovery. Roadtripping will be a welcome relief.

Cheers,
Lindsay

 We've got a few definites keen on making the trip, but not enough to make
 the trip worth it. If you would like to go, then let me know. We should be
 able to organise accomodation with the GLUGgers, so all you should need is a
 sleeping bag. At this stage, I'm thinking of driving, so travel costs will
 just be time, petrol, and maybe a driving shift if you're licensed.

As I said, send me a mail if you'd like to be in our merry band. :)

 Unfortunately my treatment will be starting sometime around the meetup, and I
 don't believe that i'll be able to manage both treatment and getting up there,
 let alone give the five or so talks that I put myself up for. 

Good luck, Lindsay. I hope the treatment goes smoothly.

[SLUG] Update on SLUG Goonellabah roadtrip

2004-10-08 Thread Lindsay Holmwood

G'day all,
The next Slug roadtrip up to Lismore was scheduled to occur on the 30th and 31st
of this month. We'd managed to get a good group of people together for the
roadtrip, and all seemed to be set.

However, over the last month i've had some health problems that have lead me to
being diagnosed with the nodular sclerosis subtype of Hodgkin's Disease (a form
of Lymphoma (cancer)). Because of this, I am relinquishing all my duties
pertaining to the trip. 

Unfortunately my treatment will be starting sometime around the meetup, and I
don't believe that i'll be able to manage both treatment and getting up there,
let alone give the five or so talks that I put myself up for. 

I am sorry that I haven't informed people sooner, as tickets and accommodation
have probably been booked any may not be fully refundable. If someone is willing
to take over the reigns of managing the trip, go for it, but getting speakers
may be a problem as I was giving all of the talks/demos/workshops that were
planned.

My treatment should be over by early February, so i'm hoping that another meetup
can be arranged early next year. I'm still gunning to get up there, and for me
this is only a temporary delay. 

Big thanks to everyone who has been involved. Hope that you can still keep
something together.

Lindsay
