Welcome to you all from Dennis Latham in South Australia and F and P with PVC We will be having an open weekend on Saturday the 18th thru to Monday the 20th of November 2000 starting at 9 am. You are invited but we we ask that you let us know when and try to make it Monday as we have limited facilities. There will be a barbecue available for you to cook your food whenever. Please bring a hat, insect protection and an Esky with your food and drinks.
There will be a lot to learn with static and working displays. Hopefully there will be wind as we will put the towers up and down with blade changes.Emphasis on blade design from Piggotts to large diameter PVC will be shown.
More details to follow. Regards Dennis and Glen

Hey Dennis.

About time you posted something on the board, so thats what you look like.

Yes everyone Dennis will be up in Mackay with some of his PVC blades, worth a visit if you can make it.

Hiya Dennis,
Unfortunately I won't be able to make upto Queensland but when you come back to Adelaide I would love to meet you. One thing I could suggest is we can have an Adelaide doo and I'd be happy for it to be based at my place at Kanmantoo on my farm, I'm 100% RE and I do have several lengths of 12" pvc just waiting to be made into blades.

Cheers Bryan

Ah, very clever.

I think Dennis meant 2006.

I would have asked for more than a toaster.

Dennis,

Good to hear from you again. Also unable to make it to the BBQ from Perth. Have not done too much with my two-bladed F&P 10' machine lately but have rewound the stator for 36VDC with Amanda's (commanda) help.
