The week of November 23rd to the 27th, 2009 saw the Rover crew stay at Emile’s place on Stradbroke island; fun times were had, sun cancer augmented and friendships strengthened.
From monday to wednesday, Stephen, Chris Greener, Jordan and Emile were the only ones on the island, supplemented later by Kerry, Matt and Rachel. It has been decided that we will be returning with the crew soon. A camping trip down the main beach is looking good too.
We welcomed Rachel and Steve (B2) to the Crew with the induction ceremony on Mt Cootha. There was a storm brewing all afternoon and we were treated to a fantastic lightning display. There was some mild concerns about conducting electricity, however, no one was killed. A bit light rain and blenty of wind made a fire impossible so everyone was a little chilled by the time we got back to Emile’s for a cuppa, and for some, something a little stronger (emphasis on the little).
We were also paid a visit by ex-Rover Tracey and Jordan married Travis Jordan on Facebook resulting in her being Christened “JJ.” Everyone is convinced that Travis and JJ should marry for real.

Upon leaving the den, Team 1 went to the Marist College Ashgrove playing field where they took a picture of the team in front of the sign and counted all the metal poles around the playing fields. A great night then unfolded as we went from Ashgrove to a combination of Everton Park, Aspley, Ferny Grove, Newmarket, Kelvin Grove, St. Lucia, Aspley, and quite possibly more. Much tomfoolery was exhibited aboard Sandra Ludinski’s Mitsubishi Outlander, including (but not limited to): parking in the opposing team near a relative of chris goninon’s house, hiding their refidex (who uses those nowadays anyway? we had a GPS 
), and competing with the opposition for the prime position on the road near Sci-Fleet used cars. Our tomfoolery (and just plain skill/awesomeness) paid off, and at the end of the night we received the grand prize to be placed on the wall in the rover den.
