Would absolutely love to attend but I cannot.

Sounds like a fun time to be had, though.

Lol-x · 22 August 2019, 05:27 PM

OK so the time is 7:00pm on 27 August 2019.

However, the location I am proposing is either:
A. Railway Club Hotel in Port Melbourne; or
B. Rare Steak Midtown in Goldie Place, Melbourne; or
C. Rockpool, Crown Casino

Please let me know if you have any preferences.
Better say now as I'll have to book tomorrow....

Attendees so far:

1. Me
2. Jedley
3. Jalf
4. Phunky_monkey
5. Watch-Guy.com
6. Giangos
7. Mystery guest from California USA

Have fun guys , have to say that I’ve had great steak at Rookpool

Lol-x · 22 August 2019, 09:04 PM

I think we are up to 11 guys already...

Cru Jones · 23 August 2019, 08:59 AM

Have fun, all!

Well done, Steve.

phunky_monkey · 23 August 2019, 09:50 AM

Always liked Railway Club, little more casual for a GTG. Upstairs is especially good for a GTG as it's quite private and secure.

Agree to that.. as we'll be in CPH, Copenhagen, that day, during our 16day road trip...with our Bestest of Friends/Neighbors...
.
You guys have a Great Time...

TheVTCGuy · 23 August 2019, 06:28 PM

Well guys, your GTG is going to be classed up a bit, actually quite a LOT! You see you’re going to have an AMERICAN in attendance! Yep, TheVTCguy just landed in Melbourne, staying at the Promenade hotel and working a trade show 27th, 28, and 29th. My vote for location is whichever one is closest and easiest for me to get to from the convention center. I think the show ends at 7:00 so I’ll get out as soon as I can. My number is (US) 858-245-4136. Looking really forward to it and I’m glad we’ll have some US representation there!!!

Welcome to Australia Paul,

Boothroyd · 24 August 2019, 08:32 AM

Paul, no international incidents, please. Tie me kangaroo down, sport. Enjoy! Great that you get a chance to meet numero uno of TRF! (I don't believe you have met Steve before). And I get the sense that your being there lead to a GTG opportunity. Well done!

swatty · 24 August 2019, 08:33 AM

Maybe Anna could do the drawing, did you bring Anna ?

Nice to see it came off splendidly.

Not a scientific study, but am I correct that 85% wore a “professional” model?

The demand curve among WIS is likely the same.

There were 10 people in attendance which was perfect for the table and the venue.
The time just went so fast.
The food and wine were excellent and complimented the excellent discussions on topics that we all love.
