G'day all, The next Slug roadtrip up to Lismore was scheduled to occur on the 30th and 31st of this month. We'd managed to get a good group of people together for the roadtrip, and all seemed to be set.
However, over the last month i've had some health problems that have lead me to being diagnosed with the nodular sclerosis subtype of Hodgkin's Disease (a form of Lymphoma (cancer)). Because of this, I am relinquishing all my duties pertaining to the trip. Unfortunately my treatment will be starting sometime around the meetup, and I don't believe that i'll be able to manage both treatment and getting up there, let alone give the five or so talks that I put myself up for. I am sorry that I haven't informed people sooner, as tickets and accommodation have probably been booked any may not be fully refundable. If someone is willing to take over the reigns of managing the trip, go for it, but getting speakers may be a problem as I was giving all of the talks/demos/workshops that were planned. My treatment should be over by early February, so i'm hoping that another meetup can be arranged early next year. I'm still gunning to get up there, and for me this is only a temporary delay. Big thanks to everyone who has been involved. Hope that you can still keep something together.
