...... Tubb about his use of the words "Concentration" and "Camp" in adjoining sentences."

"He's having a go at us" observed Acki "Next he'll be using words like "sword" and "Carry Harry", he might even ask us to say the phrase "Rick a ricorice rorry" 10 times so that they can raugh at us, then the buggers will try to hold us accountable for the misdeeds of our ancestors, just like he, LatClap and AndyTheShatter did to the RAOz Board Members 15 months ago."

Andy was shattered at this disclosure "And now we have a much better Board, except because of the way the OBC ruined the joint for 5 years, now no bugger (NTTIAWWT) turns up, apart from us good-guys sitting around the fire telling spooky stories."

Latty put a torch under his chin and most of the attendees got a fright (Andy even sh@inhiscampchair@Temora) .............

"I don't know" responded the TurdBoy.

"Well" answered Mitch "With an Echidna, the plicks or on the outside."

"Tee Hee" sniggered AndySh@@Coughs, who didn't own any of those (but had swerved a few times to run over Echidnas), however in his defence he said "But I only ............

"Latfry is more popurar that Natfly" said Aki, feeling preased with his crever use of ranguage.

"There are no rats in my dinner" responded Ma Hindra indignantly "And it's not a fry, its a fish-head cully stew."

Aki then turned to Turdy and commented "Isn't it good to have Lob Rrewerryn contlibuting to the NES, although he does use up a rot of the day's quota of L's (and R's).

And a new voice spoke up, clearly and decisively from the back of the camp.

"Who are you mate?" asked Nobu "As I only have an RAA Certificate so no frying before the sun comes up and 15,000 is a bit high for my Thluster."

"I am Cameron Ian Kazi II, you will do what you are told in your lag and tube thingy, and I will read you all to a rong overdue victoly over the white-eyes."

"Are you lelated to the broke who luns Afghanistan?" added Nobu.

"No you dill" leplied Cam "Not Karzai ........ KAZI ......... (what a dlongo you are, Knob-boy) and it was my dad who red the attacks on the Calliers."

I have attended a number of the Narromine Natflys and all at Temora and have been trying to determine what is the difference.

Have tried to capture those as below and would be interested to hear what others think about these, or any other issues that you feel are key points:

1. Locations in Oz - Temora & Narromine are near enough to each other to be considered roughly equivalent.
    
    
   
2. Aero Club Facilities - Much better at Narromine.
    
    
   
3. Aero Club Involvement - Much better at Narromine. The Temora Aero Club building seems to be open but they don't seem to really be involved and welcoming. Perhaps just interested to sell some grog. Whereas the Narromine Aero Club was always much more friendly & really become part of Natfly (or more latterly AusFly).
    
    
   
4. The airport itself - Temora is better although there is nothing really wrong with Narromine (except perhaps for the burr issue on the grass strips/taxiways at Narromine).
    
    
   
5. Overnight parking/underwing camping - Much better at Narromine being right out front and with good tie-down cables. At Narromine you always felt part of the action while sitting under your wing, whereas at Temora you are tucked around the back and sort of "Out of sight/Out of mind.
    
    
   
6. Day visitor parking - Equivalent at both locations.
    
    
   
7. Exhibitor areas and exhibitor access to taxiways - Better at Temora.
    
    
   
8. Camping area for visitors that drive - Roughly the same at each although possibly larger at Temora.
    
    
   
9. Other attractions on airport - Better at Temora with the Museum on site.
    
    
   
10. Aircraft fuelling - Better at Temora. It always rankled with me when the price went up substantially at Narromine just before the event, and that was done by one of our own schools. In the end it looked like blatant gouging.
     
     
    
11. The town - Roughly equivalent and about the same distance from the airport.
     
     
    
12. Food - Probably equivalent at both and not brilliant by vendors at either (most think that stale bread and a bit of cheap steak cooked an hour or two ago is a meal if you add some semi-cold cooked onion) although Narromine Aero Club meals were better than anything at Temora.
     
     
    
13. Hangars for seminars and meetings - Maybe similar but probably better at Temora, although the hangar/eating area behind the aero club at Temora is grotty and ordinary.
     
     
    
14. The weather - Roughly equivalent.
     
     
    
15. The proposal to support Natfly - Temora was a clear winner and Narromine appeared to take it for granted.
     
     
    

CONCLUSION - So unless someone else can identify another core or key issue, the big difference for me is the location of the under wing/overnight camping/parking and the terrific involvement of the Narromine Aero Club and their great facilities. Both are substantial issues for the atmosphere/amenity of the event in my view.

Would love to hear what others think.
