Sydney Xmas GTG this Friday Dec 16th

Any interest in a pre Xmas GTG this Friday evening in the CBD/Darling harbour area. I haven't booked anything yet, want to see how we go with numbers on short notice.

This will be the venue for the drawing of the 2016 Explorer Giveaway.

I will endeavour to attend myself personally.

Thanks for organising this Peter and it's a shame that I won't be able to make it to witness the drawing of the giveaway!

Good luck to all participants in the draw

I will be in Rome, probably offline for most of the time. Don't do a re-draw if my number comes up and I don't respond for a day or two!

Have a great GTG guys

Not sure where that came from, not easy to find a restaurant booking on a Friday night for 10 people at short notice, the week before Xmas, plenty of work functions going on.

Banquet works for me!

Apt location for the draw... Fortune Village will bring some good fortune to a lucky TRF'er in our draw!
