Any interest for a Sydney Jan 17th (Fri) GTG??

How time flies by.....

I'll be back in the great city of Sydney once again for my annual visit, and as usual, would love to catch up with the fine crew as always.....and any newcomers who'd like to attend!

I've limited time in the city itself this year, so, I've taken the liberty of choosing the date. Friday January 17th!
I do understand the time of year can be tough for many, as the Xmas and school holidays are upon us all. But I do hope we can garner the interest and have yet another healthy turnout!

I'm open to a time and place, and please feel free to make suggestions. Although close to the CBD would be adviseable......

Looking forward to 4th annual January GTG!!

At least there's a chance of a white Christmas in these parts!

Thanks Rob - I'm sure the stars will align eventually and I can make one of the Sydney GTGs

I will probably around, have never been to a GTG so should be fun. Somewhere in near circular quay would be great, I will come by boat as well, sadly mine will be a Sydney ferry from my home in Balmain East.

Sounds like a great plan Rob.

I'm heading for another minor procedure on my knee this afternoon. Freak-in 4 ops in 15 months and a little nip and tuck this afternoon. At least I won't be going under with a general this time.

Since I saw you last Peter I've had another 2 operations on the knee. But I'm on the mend...

Speak soon

Jules

I dont know how swanky these affairs are but I have always liked this pub in summer, they appear to have private function rooms for dinner as well. Just a possible suggestions given we did suggest somewhere around the rocks.

You'd have thought so Peter ... But rumor has it that whenever these two particular mods are in the same building .... Well ...this is a family forum

Very much looking forward to meeting you
