Considering the amount of spam we have been getting this is a good measure, I just hope that you are not facing too steep a workload Cameron

Re: End of Year BBQ - Sydney
I'm not planning on getting my toes wet. Only my head and hands. Of course, if the dry suit leaks again. :/
Accessible as in wheelchair access or are you allowed? They are not really wheelchair accessible. On the western side of Chowder Bay (pronounced "Chow-Dah" like Freddy Quimby), the jetty is fully open to the public and is used mostly by fisherman. On the eastern side the one that faces west is used by Plunge Diving but I don't think they own it so you should be fine. The ones facing south are part of the Navy and I don't think you'll allowed there.

Re: End of Year BBQ - SydneyThe new list is:
Rodney + 2 Philo (& Matt) Gerry (& better 0.5 plus damage) Gary (+ Jose) Ozi Steffen Suren Peter (+ vino} Andrew M Allen T + wife Is anyone missing? So I make it 18 people (plus our 2 who will most likely be hiding ![]() Andrew is bringing beer Peter is bringing potato salad Gerry is bringing non-alcoholic drinks Rodney is bringing bread rolls Gary can bring some cheese and bickies, and some snags We also need: Another two salads Chips/cheese/nibbles/etcetera Sausages (I am getting steak and maybe chicken) If anyone has chairs they can easily bring, can they be brung please? We may have enough, but it would be nice to have spares. I think that should do it. If I have missed anything, let me know. I will PM my address soon. One final thing: If it is wet, it will become quite intimate inside ![]() Last edited by Reschsmooth on Tue Nov 20, 2012 9:54 am, edited 3 times in total.

Re: End of Year BBQ - SydneyI've not put my hand up at this stage as projects on the go might have had me offline on very short notice.
It's looking like Sunday would be good for me, though, if a late entry of 1 is not too rude? I'd be happy to provide some dessert in way of admission ![]() Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?
Re: End of Year BBQ - SydneyMichael, you are welcome. and thanks for the offer of dessert.

Sorry I haven't contacted you sooner. I am bringing a chicken caesar salad and a meat pack for four and can bring some nibbles as well. I will also bring two spare camp chairs, just in case.

Re: End of Year BBQ - SydneyI have a request for Sunday. I won't have time to watch qualifying from Interlagos before the barbecue so can those that know the results not let me know, por favor? Obrigado.

Well... that would be in the race and I'm only missing qualifying. Weber is a crap starter but at least he made up a place at the start in Austin.
