Thanks to all for attending, and it was great meeting some new faces: Deanna, Kala, Peter and Brandon.

James, thank you for organising this GTG. It was a fantastic gathering. The food was excellent, while the restaurant itself needs to improve on customer service and their pricing transparency

Also, very happy to meet Peter and Deanne, Carla, and Brandon. Hope to see you all again next time.

Thanks, guys! Yeah, once Dave works out when he's coming I reckon it's time for another GTG!

By the way, in case you were wondering what was happening in this photo:



Steve was demonstrating the pre-ban warmup.

Deanne and I just returned home from our short trip to Melbourne.
Thanks James for organising a great night out. It was good to meet some fellow TRF's in another city.


PS: Steve that beer bottle Milgauss is awesome.

PSS: Hope we have some big camera guys for our Sydney GTG , James and Kai's camera's and lenses were something else
