Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?
Posted:
Mon Jul 13, 2009 7:04 amby Greg B
As you have probably noticed from Gary's posts, the forum's Anniversary Weekend
is approaching - this year it will be an astonishing five years since the then
named D70 Users was formed.
The Sydney AW Dinner is on Saturday 8 August.
Do we have any interest in a Melbourne inner/lunch that weekend?
Possible options-
Saturday 8 August, dinner, or
Sunday 9 August, lunch
Somewhere cheapish and central, for example
- one of the many Vietnamese restaurants along Victoria Street Richmond, or
- one of the pizza joints in Carlton, or
- other suggestions welcome.

Sadly I will be in Sydney for the city to surf (my fiance is running in it). I could potentially do the Friday (7th) night after work though.

Greg, we've been pretty quiet here in Melbourne for a while now, so a get together for the anniversary would be good. As I already have a lunch booking on Sunday 9 Aug, saturday night dinner somewhere would be good.

---- sound of crickets chirping ----
Not much action on the Melbourne AW dinner front by the look of things.
Since the only positive response is for a dinner on Saturday 8 Aug (thanks photograham),
that will be the prospective date.
However, we are a looong way from having enough takers to get this baby going.
So, one last time, any interest? Or has the whole project done a Michael Jackson? (i.e. died)

Enjoy the homeland Carlos!
At the moment I'm open for either Sat dinner or Sunday lunch that weekend. Best to lock things in soon though, as the calendar fills up fast!

That Sunday's now out for me: family commitments in the country.
Is anyone going to meet up this coming weekend in Melbourne or not?

Unfortunately the are only a couple of possibles, and then not for the same time, so I think we may
need to try again later.

Just pointing out ... Sunday 6th Sep is Father's Day and some may have other plans for that night becuase of that...
Personally that night is no good for me (father's day
and daughter's birthday). ... but the week after is probably ok for me

Have been out of town for a few day, so I have not been able to reply or add any suggestions. Because of where we live, SE suburbs would be great for us. But, we can travel. Thought Victoria St, Richmond? was the probability??????

Sorry all, but now can't get there tonight. My puppy had a couple of operations yesterday and don't really want to leave him for the first couple of days of his recovery.
Hope you have a good dinner.

I have been known to do some home brewing in the past ... not too recently though.
I have got some cold in the fridge, so I will bring some tonight ...

I really need to keep a bit more up-to-date with the forum ..... my only consolation for missing the thread and event entirely is I was away that weekend ....
Hope to see you all at the next one
