Back from vacation
Posted by: psharp <psharp@...>
G'day all,
Back home safely a couple of days now from our 3 week vacation to QLD
(mostly). Plenty of sun, surf & relaxation, lots of driving, too. Don't
know if I'll bother with the digests I've missed.
Dropped in on family in Wollongong (near Sydney) on the way home for 2
nights & a day. My brother Vic said he'd been very busy recently doing
lots of sound & lighting gear installation at his church. They took their
annual 'special offering' recently, which this year was targeting their
main auditorium. Their goal of AU$15,000 (about US$10,000) was reached
comfortably when they received $37,000! He's had fun putting in banks of
'splash' lights (don't know if that's the correct term), & picked up a 2nd
hand Allan & Heath GL4000 40ch mixer (from someone else's upgrade project)
for AU$10,000 (they retail around $25,000 he said - showed me the brochure,
very impressive!), plus radio mikes & other stuff. They've already spent
$25,000 of it. What fun! I shouldn't be, but I'm green with envy ...
A few departures from our worship team now sees me playing bass every week
for some time to come. Well, I'm glad to have had the break when I did!
