That's right. Our first anniversary dinner is just 6 short weeks away.

Our dinners are now fully organised and just about put to bed; if you want to come, but haven't yet booked, what the hell are you waiting for? Wait for much longer and you'll be going to bed without any dinner.

And we're not simply talking about food, either. We're talking about a major international event now. cue poetic license!

There will be surprises.

There will be prizes.

There will be fun by the bucketload. I'm even hoping to line up a few vestal virgins, but being in Sydney, the pickings are very slim. We may have to make do with Jeanette, Bronnie, and Amanda. :)

Frivolities aside, this is the latest and greatest listing of who's going to be whom on the night.

Me too Steve!

We got some great representatives but we definitely need more Queenslanders down there to fly the flag.

I would dearly love to come, and meet all the funny buggers that make me laugh each day, but unfortunately it's a bit tricky with the kiddies.

Enjoy yourselves, and have a nice bottle of red for me!! :wink:

:( :( The only reason that I can think of to live in Sydney is to attend mini meets and anniversary dinners. Truly wish I could be there. :(

A question - what is the alcohol situation at both venues - is it BYO or are they licenced :?:

Hey guys, I'm missing off the list perhaps purposely so... I myself really don't know if I'll be in the country at this stage. How much later can I push off informing you organisers? Probably looking at Saturday dinner only (for 1) at this stage.

Chi,

I think we can deal with that.

At the worst, I'll just sell Leigh to the highest bidder. :)
