Firstly let me say that some who wanted to attend could not make it at the last minute, but contacted me to let me know. They were missed, but emergencies do arise and I thank them for letting me know they would be absent.

I have to say that AussieG knows how to put on a spread. The food was lovely, drink aplenty, but most of all, the atmosphere was one of the best settings in quite a while. It was so pleasant to sit in AussieG's backyard and soak up the extraordinary scenery. Ferns and other plants were abundant, with an exquisite Japanese type water garden with a meditating gazebo that felt extremely positive the moment you entered it. It was a landscapers dream. And as Artie commented: "the feng shui was just right".

Here is a summary of the main topics discussed, in order of discussion:
(1) Ground Crew member Tee-shirts
It was bought up that the Ground Crew should have some type of colors to show others that we are a collective of like minded people and we need to show ourselves, especially those members attending the David Icke seminar.
Some may think of it as blatantly wearing bikie type colors and we are only seeking violence and that we will be standing out to the wrong type of people. i.e. Government and law enforcement types.
We only want our logo to be shown, and perhaps a first name followed by our Avalon user name. This can be further discussed at our next meeting.
Frank has been delegated to look into this with Lt Ripley and Don'tPanic.

(2) Organize a central meeting place
I have to admit that it can be a pain to have to travel too far to a meeting place. We therefore decided to find a central point in Melbourne so it won't be too far to travel for most members. One suburb suggested was Caulfield, or around that general area.
I have been delegated in locating a suitable meeting place, such as a hall that can be hired for the day, with tea and coffee facilities. All members are asked to contribute a few dollars in the hiring. A plate of food will be taken to each meeting by all members.
This item will be discussed fully and ratified at the next meeting.

(3) Meditation techniques taught to members
Its fairly important that members be in touch with themselves as well as with others. All who attended have agreed that people (including myself) should learn the art of meditation. This is not mandatory, but strongly recommended.
We would like to delegate this to Robski, as he is the one person that is studying this fairly in-depth and is very much in tune with his spiritual side.
He may refuse, as this is only a suggestion, we'll leave it up to him and discuss it further next meeting.

(4) Photographing Chemtrails, Cellphone towers or anything unusual
Chemtrails was a fairly discussed topic at the meeting, and there is growing concern that Australia has not been omitted in this type chemical dumping on the populace.
Cell phone towers was another issue, especially since they spew out vast amounts of microwave energy. They seem to be creeping closer to populated areas, and God knows what the long term affects could be.
If you have a digital camera or photo/video phone, then please take some snapshots of the above or anything that doesn't seem normal, like your local member of parliament.
But seriously, what footage you manage to capture, we will make a request to the moderators on the Forum to make a special thread where people can post their pictures.

(5) Growing your own vegetables
AussieG has suggested that we should all think about growing our own vegetables, now and for when TSHTF. An extremely good point AussieG put up, was the fact that, "how many of us actually know how to grow a vegie?"
All thought that this was a very important issue. Its great to horde heaps of dry and reconstituted food, but vegies are one of the best sources of vitamins and minerals.
This topic will be discussed more fully and will be studied more intensely at the next and subsequent meetings.
Knowing the importance of this topic, silly me didn't bother getting details on seed suppliers. AussieG has a very good selection of seeds he has already obtained, and I'll get him to post up a contact for you to get these seeds from an Aussie supplier.

(6) Body fitness
At the last meeting held at my place, Artie came up with a very valid point: How many of us has the fitness to do the physical work and preparation necessary to survive when TSHTF? I'd hazard a guess that most of us would be physically unfit.
It has been suggested at this meeting that this topic needs more attention, as not only preparing yourself in regards to food, water and shelter, your body should be ready as well.
We have suggested that perhaps Artie might help us in this regard as he is extremely physically fit and would be the best suited in guiding us on fitness.
This is another topic to be fully examined at the next and future meetings.

That is basically all that was said in regards to a proper agenda. We then started to discuss other things not pertinent to survival.
We discussed the New World Order issue quite a bit, as well as plenty of other plots and conspiracies.

Some of you may be a bit disappointed in the lack of information discussed and presented here, but we are still trying to fine tune things as we go. This is not an easy thing to get right in just a few meetings, so please be patient.

I once again need to bring up the issue of anyone wanting to purchase the book: "Dare to Survive" by Holly Deyo
The total cost of the book in Australian dollars, including shipping is approximately $130.00 ($88.95 US)
Unfortunately $44.00 US is for shipping, what a joke!
The book costs $44.95 US, only 95 cents dearer than the shipping costs.
So, if I can buy them in bulk, there will only be one shipping cost, which can be shared by all wanting the book/s.
I can't stress how good this book is. Its an asset when TSHTF. You'll have it on hand at all times.
I'll leave it up to you.

I will more than likely announce later this week or early next, when the next meeting will be held and where. Hold tight until then.
Once again my sincerest thanks to AussieG for his hospitality, all members who attended and the members who called me to let me know they couldn't make it.
Also, special thanks to Peace2all, Artie and Zac for making the effort to show up to the meeting, knowing that they were on a very tight schedule. They were meant to book into their camping spot they'd planned for sometime, and we are not sure if they could actually make it by the deadline. I sincerely hope they made it.
Take care and peace to all.
Best regards,
John

Hi all groundcrew members,
This is my first post and I feel very honoured and excited to be amongst you who have been gathering together to make a conscious community.
I live in the northern suburbs of Melbourne....
I too have been meditating and gathering loads of information on how to help others in the coming times ahead... and I have been preparing myself on all levels just in case the worse case scenario plays itself out.
My husband thinks I am totally bonkers because I am out there buying sun-ovens, gold and silver, camping equipment, photocopying army survival manuals, printing off free-energy manuals etc etc etc.
I have just discovered the MMS website and quite co-incidentally, my DH actually works for a chemical company! So I am on to the next phase of protecting my family against the AFV (avian flu virus) and anything else that is floating around in the ethers.
What I have also found extremely helpful to myself and others over the last ten years is the training I have had in hypnosis and EFT (emotional freedom technique). I wonder if this might help other members to stay peaceful and centred in the face of what is currently happening? I would love to contribute wherever and whenever I can.
with appreciation, compassion, humility, understanding and valour
