Crew & Surrogate Members Camp

21st – 23rd January 2005, Victor Harbour

The Camp was held at Michael’s Shack near the Bluff at Victor Harbor which was considerably cozier than last time we stayed given the larger numbers of the group. Surrogate members of the crew were invited along for the weekend mostly from Pine Forest. The camp was held as an alternative to traveling to VIC for Surfmoot which was not on a long weekend this year, however less than a week out it was discovered that Surfmoot was on the following weekend.

People arrived throughout Friday night for a relaxing night in with some DVD’s, learning how a microwave works in the process and Anna’s singing practice in the background. Surprise, surprise the first thing Brendan grabbed when he got there was the binoculars to spy on the neighbors and passers by, a job taken quite seriously for the rest of the weekend. Saturday morning saw Maccas for breakfast and then a walk to Granite Island. Half of the group went to see “The Incredibles” while the rest went back to the shack for more DVD action. Dinner was no structured affair and everyone was left to fend for themselves, though some of us had some damn good tacos. The night progressed with some singing, the guitar coming out and some more DVDs. Despite struggling through Dog soldiers we will never know the outcome of the movie, the last 3 scenes kept skipping. Nevertheless watching Willow was just as good as it was when I saw it at the drive in when I was six or so. Sunday morning and a few of us went down to cheer for Lachie on the Go Kart track before lunch at Pt Elliot. Those who stayed behind went for a trip up to the Bluff. After everything was packed up and a few failed attempts of Daniel trying to spin me round his arm and vice versa we headed back to Adelaide.

This was a really well attended event and it was good to have the extra Pine Forest Rovers along with us to adds to the group dynamic, especially since they are all fairly close to our crew anyway. It was a fun and relaxing camp with little fuss or effort required.
