Well guy's,what a great night!!!!
I really enjoyed meeting you all and finally putting faces to screen names....
Heck,even my wife enjoyed herself and she's not a watch fan like us!!!

The food was great and the company even better...... to you all for showing up and a big thanks Peter for organizing us......

I'd love to do it again sometime,maybe next Jan!!!! Unfortunately my time here in Aus is running short but this was a good memory for the books!!!

Pete,no probs with me for posting pics,just try to keep the shine off my head down!!
Rob.......

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

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.

Thanks for the Sydney hospitality guys.

It was an excellent GTG this is for sure.

Lots of fun and well worth the effort. Thank you Peter for organising a great evening.
