Sydney, January 13th (Friday) 2012

Ok Sydney siders.
Another year has passed and I think another GTG is on the cards....
Who's up for it?

I know it's a tough time of year with school holidays etc, but if we can gather up a few bodies to attend, let's get the ball rolling.

Due to my tight schedule this year, I can only make the date above work!
It just happens to be a Friday the 13th....Sorry about that!!

Last years location was wonderful, but I'm open to other venues, as long as it's within the CBD area.

I hope the regulars can make it, and always happy to meet some new faces.

Let's make it happen!

I am not coming to Sydney for Xmas and New Years unfortunately as something had come up through work.

Yep - the bar is loaded here in Perth also....

...I do think we need to consider arranging a massive Australia wide GTG at some point in the future.....

Maybe it should be at Eddie's house - we could all crash over as he's kind off in half way land

I was down in SA about 10 days ago, flat out and far away from Adelaide so no time for socialising. But the Tour Down Under is not far away, and I have been known to push a pedal.

Jules, say he who is sipping on a shiraz...

Hey Rob, would love to catch up and share a drink with you (and the gang).

I should be good, just need to confirm with Liz. She is planning a short sojourn to Melbourne for us, and has not yet locked in dates for flights accommodation etc.

Shame we'll miss JohnBeth, Milan etc.

PS. Rob, thanks for the heads-up PM. Yes, I did miss this thread!

No problem John......It'll be great if you can make it!!!!
Keep an eye on the thread, and let us know closer to the date if you can make it.. (It's been two years already since we last caught up!)

I'll be catching up with John in WA, but yes, going to miss out on seeing Milan this time!
It is a tough time of year, and I understand that.

Hopefully you can make it. Keep us apprised!

It's a package deal or nothing Peter!!


Just a bump on this one.....Hopefully to generate some more interest!!??

This will be an evening event to allow for more attendance and easier planning.

Suggestions for a location are welcome and I'll set the time for 6:30 PM Dinner, on the 13th of January for those that have to work that day.

A week and a half from now, we need to set the numbers as confirmed and make the booking concrete.

Any and all attendees, speak up now or forever hold your peace!!

Looking forward to it guys!

Hi Rob,
Jules is joining us tonight for the WA TRF Christmas GTG, I trust he'll enjoy and have good things to report when you all catch up for the Sydney GTG in January.

Wishing you all a great time and take lots of pics.
