    Does anyone know when the conventions here in Oz are on? Or did I blink and miss them?

    The March or June OKM had the list. I got it in front of me now but im too slack to write it down. Do u want just the english conventions?

    Yes, English will do; can't be greedy!

    Just Sydney will do, or even Wollongong, if the local mob are big enough to get their own! Supposing there is one in my area the timing of which suits, is it possible for an outsider like me to get in to one for a few hours? (I won't ask if it'll be worth it! LOL)

    I had the list on computer AK but it is gone (or I need to look harder and so is the list on the WTS site.

    Could you let me know the OZ dates please ..... If you have a scanner that might be easier

    Thanks

    If it's the same as last year, you have to buy parking tickets through Ticketec.

    Being an open and public place like Homebush (the Sydney Olypics site), you should be able to just rock up and take a pew for a few hours. They have become more strict about wearing the lapel cards, so don't be surprised if someone follows you if you're not wearing one!

    Prisca: What is a lapel card? I'm intrigued! How do you get one, and can they be forged?

    Its a business card type thing that u attach a pin to it and u put it on yr jacket.

    I can get heaps of them so I can sneak apostates into conventions.

    A lapel card is those little cards on which you put your name and congregation. They are made for each convention, with the theme of the convention on them.

    You have to be associating with the congregation to get one, as they are handed out at the meetings, often the book study meetings.

    I'm further intrigued! Has anyone got one that can be scanned for the perusal of the group here?

    If you're not talking crap AK, can you get me one? Or are yours only useful in Adelaide?

    And if I could get in without being watched, could I use my digital camera, or would that be too provocative?
