Hi everyone,

Hey Sydneysiders!!!!!!
Just checking in......This thread has gone kinda' quiet so I thought I would stir it up and see if we are still on!!!!!
Only 2 and a half weeks give or take.......
Is there a location and numbers set???
Make sure you guy's turn on the warm weather while I'm there...:chuckle::thumbsup:
Rob.:cheers:

[limenko]

I am still in Rob. Re the weather I can promisse muggy, it has been bad the last two days, esp if you have to wear suits.

Are we still on for the woolly bay wharf? Do we want a feed, if so, i can reccomend either Kingsleys, China Doll or even the Tilbury. If we are meeting mid arvo I think the Tilbury garden is a great option.

[oinkitt]

Phil,

I can give you somewhere to stay in the city if that is any help.

[T5AUS]

Thanks for the offer Adrian (hope I got the name right) very kind of you.
Since the GTG is a bit later into the month the roads should be a little less hectic so I think I will drive down and make a few days of it and do a bit of work en route:cheers:
I do have a mate in Newcastle were I normally stop over so will see if I feel like the drive back up there at the end of the evening, if not, I might just take you up on that offer, thanks again.

Anyone know of cheap parking near the venue, if it's anything like Brisbane, the meal is going to be cheaper than the parking:rofl:

So, I am in, see you all in a few weeks:thumbsup:

[oinkitt]

Phil,
The accommodation is a standing offer, and if you want to stay the weekend thats fine too.

I usually park near the Wentworth Park Greyhound Track at Glebe and walk over - its less than 1km away. The western side is best.


Adrian.

Just for those that have not been there before, confusingly, there are two Nicks Seafood restaurants at Darling Harbour.

Pretty sure that we are booked at the same one as the July GTG, so it is the southern most one, ie at Cockle Bay not King street wharf.

Looking forward to a great night.

I won't be able to make it tonight as I'm down with a virus which has given me flu like symptoms. Been to the doctor and was told it's too early for swine flu season (whew!). Currently on a prescription of antibiotics.

Hope you enjoy yourselves and look forward to the photos.

1. Thanks Pete, great work organising
2. Happy for my pic to go up, as long as you put an "XXX" warning so no-one has any shocks.
3. Great seeing some regulars and meeting new members, all a great buncjh of blokes and gals
4. Yes I'm OK, as you can see by this post, I DID get home OK on the bike... had to carve the traffic a little getting through George St, but all good! Thanks for asking
5. Steve LoL showed us his UNIQUE new watch. I doubt ANYONE has ever seen one of these in pics before, and we were honoured by being able to see it real, live and up close. I don't think the pics will do it justice.
6. Great to see a couple of wives turned up...

Looking forward to the pics

[swatty]

My photography was not the best last night ( might have been the beer) , A few pics to start :cheers:

Thanks Pete, great pics. Yes, you DID accurately capture Steve's Millgaus with perfect color accuracy. No colour tints or reflections. Let's wait and see how many people ask "what's wrong with this picture?"

Hope you had a great night staying in town last night.
