Maybe we can change the GTG date , Steve is coming up from Melbourne so its up to him. If not we can have a GTG every week while you are here

Don't think we will do the draw right on 7pm so you can sleep in

Please advise if there is any alternative suggestions for the location of the GTG.

The restaurant I have suggested can be very busy and I'm not sure if they will take reservations. The food & wine is nevertheless amazing. They have an upstairs section which we might be able to secure...

Any alternatives welcome...............

The Thaitown ones can't be reserved but the same Chat Thai in Circular Quay (Gateway) can be reserved via Dimmi. Had a quick look just then, 7pm slot is available for this Friday the 4th of August for a hypothetical 10 pax.

Cheers

The draw will not occur until the end of the GTG.

The venue of the GTG is Chat Thai in Campbell Street, Haymarket, Sydney.

However, if that restaurant presents as a problem we may move to another location close to that restaurant.

Please contact me if you need assistance in redirection Tel: 0418 173 681

I must also apologize. Baby sitter plans fell through.
I do hope you all have a great night and congrats to the winner of the draw.
