Any interest in a Sydney Australia Jan 25th 2013 GTG??

The time is approaching once again for my annual visit downunder..

So, like always, I'd love to get together with my Sydney bretheren.....

This year, I actually have more time in the wonderful country I use to call home, but unfortunately, my time in the NSW state is limited.
With that said, the 25th (a Friday), would be the most viable option for another GTG.
I'm hoping this will work for many of you, as most of the school holidays and family travel will be out of the way.

So, looking for some input on attendees, location (preferably in the CBD), and hopefully pull together another fantastic evening...

Looking forward to catching up with the regulars, and even some new faces.....

Let's get the ball rolling folks!

I had the whole month clear at first, however, a trip overseas came up and will be back in Sydney the Wednesday next week.

Apologies to Rob and the rest of the Sydney crew.

I am free at this stage Rob.

Given the time of the year I think something outdoorsy should be a venue. We can always go back to Nick's Seafood in Darling Harbour or we can try a place like Kingsley's or China Doll at Woolloomooloo wharf.

Hey Milan.....
Outdoorsy always sits well with me mate.
Nicks was great, and fun, but always happy to try something new!!!

It's been a while since I've been to Woollomooloo, but certainly an option..
A cab from down town shouldn't be to much..

Let's see what other suggestions come around, and go from there.

One thing I just realized however, is it's the AUS day long weekend. So perhaps an early agreement and location is wise??

Keep well, and stay in touch with the thread as we move along!

Awesome Peter.

Now, what's this about a new toy!??!!?
Would that be a 50 footer perhaps?? Maybe we can have the GTG on board??
I'll pick up the catering!!

Let's keep this one moving mate.


All input needed, and looking forward to the day!

Looking forward to it Jules.

It seems China Doll is a popular one between most who have posted. So how about we commit to that location??? Then a time that works for all.....

See you all soon!

I most likely can. I have a hectic period and our 2nd wedding is the weekend prios so the 25th should be good. Can't believe it is 3 years since the last time with everyone in darling harbour!

So far we have 8 confirmed (Rob, Peter, Jules and their partners and John and I).

Chris, Darren, Lawrence, should I add you to the list? Anyone else?

I can book when we firm up the numbers.

Excellent guys!! Things are shaping up.........

We may have one more.......Brett.
If they wish to come, and the more the better, please respond on this thread with a confirmation.....

I'm in Bali ATM, but still keeping an eye on things, and looking forward to meeting you all once again..

Milan, if you could take care of the reservation in the near future, that would be great!

See you soon!!
