Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by 80mileshigh: [B]Obviousman, the grab bag is a box of space memorabilia sent between collectors. In the tradition of the long running U.S. grab bag you make a contribution from your collection and take something of equal or lesser value. If anyone can correct or improve this description please do. I can report the Grab bag is back in Australia - it arrived at my address today. I'm impressed with the quantity and quality of collectibles in it! I'll have a good look at it over the weekend and be ready to forward it next week. Who's next?[/B][/QUOTE]

I know there are more aerospace enthusiasts/collectors in Oz and NZ than have taken part in this. Come on folks, here is your opportunity for a bit of fun and you will probably find something you want in the grab bag and you also have a chance to pass on duplicates to other collectors.If no interest, the contents will be given to a worthy home such as an Australian Space Education Facility. Come on folks. Enjoy this!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>ColinBurgess</TD><TD>I'm in for sure. C'mon all you other lurking Aussies and Kiwis; this a great opportunity that Ian has organised, so let's get behind him and support the Down Under grab bag!</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
