LAANECOORIE 2012 Very Important Notice Under The Program Updated 10/05/2012
LAANECOORIE BASH 2012
Hi All,
Well it’s on again the 2012 Lannecoorie Bash to be held on May 25th – 27th at the Laanecoorie. For those who attended last year you will agree it was a ripping success and discussed for many weeks after the event. This event is open to any forum member being a newbee or old digger.
Jim & Robyn at the Laanecoorie Lakeside Park have all type of accommodation from On-Site Cabins to powered and un powered sites so get on the phone and book your site now. 58 Brown Bills Rd Laanecoorie VIC 3463 (03) 5435 7303
When booking you accommodation at the park, please let them know you are with the GD&PF so that arrangements can be made.
We plan on running a similar format to last year with Saturday Night finishing up with the draw of the Monster Raffle to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
What we need you to do,
1. Send us a reply, only if you think you might be attending so we have a bit of an idea as to numbers.
2. Talk to anyone you know that might be able to help with donations for the raffle.
3. Book your accommodation.
4. Charge those batteries and get ready for a great weekend
5. Keep a close eye on the forum for further updates.

Update 11th April 2012
A big Hello to all our forum members and a belated Happy Easter
Now that Easter is a mere memory, we can all start and focus on the 2012 Laanecoorie Bash and dream about the gold we will find.
I spent a few days at Laanecoorie over the Easter break and caught up with Jim & Robyn. They inform me that they have over 60 people booked and staying in the park and are still taking bookings, so if you are thinking about booking a cabin or a site I would suggest that you do it soon. With the 60 confirmed booking, plus the 10-15 that I have indicated they will be coming and a few booking still to be made I can say that we will have well over 80 people for the weekend, a great effort by all.
I have just updated a few more sponsors and are still to hear back from a few, so this years raffle will be a big one and we hope to raise well over $1000 for the Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
Over the next couple of weeks we will finalise the program and post it on the forum for all.
If you have a good relationship with your local prospecting shop and you cannot see them in the sponsors area, I would ask you to give them a little nudge and see what they can throw in. We are more than happy to promote them on the forum and over the weekend, along with the article that will appear in G&T in the following months.
If you have any questions please feel free to PM me

The Program For The Weekend
Update 22nd April 2012
Friday
• Arrive into camp, check in at reception and receive you name tags
• 5:30pm onwards, meet at the Rec Hall, renew old friendships and start marking new ones.
Nibbles will be supplied by Jim & Robyn from the Park along with BBQ facilities and fires close to the Rec Hall, so bring along a BBQ and cook it up while you chat to others
• 7:30pm is the start of a special event, the exciting International debut of a locally made prospecting DVD called “ Morris Reef “ We have all read about it on the Forum, so for all who attend there will be a privileged sneak peak
• After the DVD will be time to chat and plan your weekend.
** You will need to bring a chair, your BBQ food and drinks **
Saturday
• 8:30am Assemble at front car park
• 8:40am Head out to the test pit
At the test pit we will break up into a few smaller groups for the following hands on experience
Detector Tuning
Detector Set Ups
Coil Demonstration
If this does not interest you, please feel free to head out and find that Golden Treasure
• After the test pit we encourage people to team up with others and head out to your special spot. Maps will be available on Friday night of some suggested locations to try.
• 7:00pm Meet at the Rec Hall for the start of the Saturday night fun. Prior to this the BBQ facilities will be available at the Rec Hall for all to use
• Open presentation and discussion by “desertgeorge”
This will cover GPS’s, OziExplorer & Calibrating Maps.
• We have assembled a Panel of some of Australia’s Best Prospectors, and Local Knowledge to take questions from the floor, discuss the area & methods of prospecting. So come prepared with plenty of questions which I’m sure will be answered in a fun and informative manner.
• Royal Children’s Hospital Monster Raffle & Silent Auction
** You will need to bring a chair, your BBQ food and drinks **
Sunday
• Jim will be conducting a Field Trip to secret spot to discuss “ Bush Craft “. This will entail how to read the ground, what it was like 100 Million years ago and what the best signs and indicators are, just to name a few.
Departure details will depend on Saturdays Nights Festivities and will be advised after the raffle is drawn.
• Head out for another days detecting
This weekend is all about meeting fellow Forum members, forging new friendships and of course gaining knowledge to help you with your prospecting.
The weekend it not about giving you a map with : X “ makes the spot, if it was that easy we would all be boasting about our finds on a daily basis. It is about gaining snippets of information that you can use to expand you knowledge and hopefully make you a better prospector
As there are many people staying on for a few extra days, there is no real conclusion to the weekend. Hopefully by this time you have met some great people and made some new friendships that will continue for many years to come.

Important Notice To All Attendees 07/05/2012
Hi All,
With Only A few weeks to go it is all ramping up to be one great weekend.
Robyn & Jim at the park have informed me that the only have a couple of powered site left, plenty of un-powered and the only accommodation left is three bedrooms of the house (one is booked – 3 available) House is a large house with large living area, bathroom and kitchen.
Would probably suit 3 individuals ie 1 bedroom each. They can ring me for details.
Now For The Big News
Robyn & Jim at the park are going to put on a Roast Dinner on Saturday night, please see the info below
For anyone who is interested we will offer a roast meal on the Saturday night for a cost of $12.50 per head. We will need numbers by Friday night so please call us or let us know when you check in.
This is a fantastic idea for anyone wanting to soak up the whole atmosphere of the weekend by sitting down and having a meal with fellow prospectors. It also alleviates the hassle of getting back after a days prospecting and then having to worry about cooking a meal so please give it some consideration.
Kindest Regards
Mariner3800

Sounds like an awesome weekend. I'm every bit a newbie and would enjoy coming along. Do any partners/family also attend? Reason being my wife and kids have been wanting to go to Lannecorrie for a while as a holiday, of course I wouldn't be around camp much myself.

Hi All,
IT is really starting to build towards a great weekend.
I arrived home from work today to be greeted with a huge box of bits from Nuggets From Down Under and Laverton Luck. They were the first to put their hands up to support the Laanecoorie weekend and have delivered on their pledge, for that I thank them.
So come on all the other commercial advertisers on this site, get moving and enjoy the extra promotion of your business.
To all members and guests thinking of coming along for the weekend, give the park a call and book your accommodation as I would hate to see you miss out.

Hi Coles525,
Really appreciate the donation to the raffle, can you let me know what business you would like promoted it would be appreciated?
Just to explain a couple of this about the weekend. We are trying to make it a little different than the other great weekends that we all attend throughout the year. It is all about meeting forum members and developing skills and lasting relationships with other forum member, in hope that people will share there experiences on the weekend and to trips to come. We have planned a couple of evening events that will be very social and informative. We have only planned one day time event on the Saturday morning, which will be targeted at all levels of experience and again very social. As for the remaining Saturday and Sunday we hope ( like last year ) people will group up and hit the surrounding areas.
As far as the donations go we will split up all donations into individual items so that it gives everyone the chance of picking up a great prize. This format again worked really well with all participants ending up with something ( I think?)
Any way, we are just trying to finalize a couple of more things and then we will post a formal program for the weekend, so keep an eye out.
Thanks again for your donations and look forward to catching up at Laanecoorie
Peter
PS... I have just received a massive donations of prizes from a industry supplier which I will post up shortly
Regards
Peter

Hi Golden,
We will catch up with you in March, really looking forward to that as we all have not been around a smokey camp fire for a while. Just wondering if Elvis is attending that weekend as well as Laanecoorie????
Anyway, the more sponsors the better,and yes it is shaping up to be bigger and better than last year, it's just a pity we have to wait 3 month
Look forward to catching up soon

Hi All,
Just a quick update on the weekend.
Accommodation
If you think you are going I would book now and not leave it until after Easter as there is plenty of interest and the park is starting to book up.
Sponsorship
Through Laverton Luck & Nuggets From Down Under, Nugget Finder Coils are on board and have pledged 3 coils for the raffle, so bring along plenty of cash as I feel it will be a huge raffle and raise allot of money for the children's hospital.
Will keep you posted
