Would have just driven past you on the fly over, had to bring the wife home to freshen up. see you around 7, we can almost wave to you from Balmain East headland, apparently it is too chilly according to my wife for the one step ferry trip, so we will be coming by cab.

Great night and good to see every one is well. Pleasure meeting Craig, Rebecca and Dan.

I'll get some pics up once my daughter gets home from a equestrian event. She left well before I rose taking the camera.

So much for a quite & earlyish night. You know what happens when your in great company and good food...

Cheers Jules

Great night and thanks to Peter for organizing this event. It was great to meet new people from the Sydney crew and see some old friends as well!
Cheers

Okay my daughter arrives back from her riding event, there's a ton of footage of horses & riders doing a eventing course, but no pics from the GTG.

Think she deleted all my pics to give her space on the SD card, unknowingly. I really wanted to have a look at the pics of Chris' 422

Peter will be the next best bet for pics, once he's off the water. Jules

No pics from me, but I do have the memories (and the hangover, ha ha).

Yes, fun night, great to catch-up with see some old friends, as well as finally meet Dalip (even though I couldn't keep up with him!).

Did someone mention doing this all again in April?

Do I recognize the leftovers of a chocolatemousse ????????????????????,
Did you noticed I am Belgian...

I actually understand about the chatting, eating and drinking. We had our first GTG last November in Brussels and we too forgot to take some photos.
Talking with likeminded watchlovers is such a nice experiance, you forget all other things

So you're forgiven
