Not back for me :(
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once.

Brissy. Caboolture lapidary club
Two Brothers from your club were so kind to help me and my family at Chillingham. We went fossicking after the rain, it was our first time and they helped us so much. :)

Broken Hill, President and Field Officer of the local club. Keen to get out fossicking anytime I can and I often help visitors from other clubs with places to go and collect minerals.
Cheers, from my little piece of the Australian Outback...

Brisbane ... no club ... dont facet ... just dig holes, find nothing, then fill em back in ... repeat :)
I dont care if the glass is half full or half empty.
Drink whats left or throw it away.
Either way stop staring at the damn thing !

I'm NSW, no club in their right mind would want me as a member - unless their tastes include steam-powered banjo music and interpretive flamenco...

I apparently look like Bruce Willis.

I just joined the Goulburn Gem Society last week. Although they are pretty much into rock polishing etc, they seem nice folks and are going to teach me the ropes! Makes a newbie quite excited  ;D

I was a member of Parramatta Club when I lived in Sydney. Great bunch of people there who were always willing to help out. Since moving to "paradise" Emmaville, I just mainly fossick these days although my garage is fitted out with plenty of machines.

Guess I'm kinda an affiliated member still as I get their newsletters every month & took them out fossicking when they were up here a few months ago.

We have a couple of 'machine collectors' as well, Bob, I think it goes hand in glove with the lapidary hobby.

Member Newcastle Lapidary club - great club, they have tutors for cabbing etc, silverwork, faceting and field trips, which I found very helpful. My health hasn't been the best for a while and attendance has lapsed a bit, but not the membership.
