Definitely not too late! Updated list:- Alex + 1 Redline Dave B Jamie Makario + 1 Nikon Boy + 1 blinkblink Pirostitch stormygirl +1 Nicole el nino and me +1 That makes 17 so far - I know a couple are maybes. Reiterating the plan... Friday 11 August, 6:30 ish Possible Venue - Somewhere in Victoria Street Richmond. I have a place in mind to suggest, but I can't remember the name. Stay tuned. If anyone can suggest a good place in Vic St, speak up (or elsewhere for that matter). The way things are going, we should be 20+ in number. Somewhere with a couple of big round tables would be good.

With 20 in attendance, you could just about fully occupy Mexicali Rose, I would expect.

Love the Rose Gary, but not quite the right format for a group.

Have been there quite a few times myself, it is good. If anything, slightly noisy. Wonder if they have a room upstairs? Might head to Vic St on the weekend and do some research, and have lunch  Greg - - - - D200 etc

Thanks Greg B. Re: dining on Vic St. The only place I can recommend would be Pacific House Seafood (Cantonese cuisine, great fishy dishes and nice meat roasts), but it is very noisy and busy on Fri, Sat nights. BYO too.
G'day,
Great idea Greg, I'm buggered for the first week-end in August (going up to Buffalo spending a few days on another Tom Putt workshop, staying at the chalet Fri 4th to Mon 7th or Tue 8th, ahhh... life's tough HA!)... Friday Aug 11th might be good though... Aka Andrew
Great news Andrew, 11 Aug it is going to be!!

Tho Tho at 66 Victoria Street offer two banquets, $30 and $35 per head.
I have eaten there on a number of occasions, and the food is always good. I attempted to get some detail about the banquets on offer, but her English was only slightly better than my Vietnamese, and communication eluded us. Stay tuned. Greg - - - - D200 etc

OK, to all those who are on the list or may not be on the list, I will be looking to firm up some numbers by the end of the week.
So please check your diaries, consider your position, think about your situation, and stand by to confirm or otherwise at the end of this week. I reckon the venue will be either Tho Tho or Ha Long Bay. They are only 100 metres apart in Victoria Street (numbers 66 and 82 respectively), just east of the railway bridge. Greg - - - - D200 etc

Hi Greg,
We are unable to get a baby sitter for that night, so unfortunately we wont be able to make it. Have a couple of reds for me!
Sorry, But Fri the 11th is a bad night for me. I have to work early on Sat morning. Which, as a matter of interest, will be the last shift in my working life as I am retiring.
Pity that you weren't arranging it for the following week. Ah well, c'est la guerre. Regards meicw
I'm a definite maybe, which I suppose makes me a no.
The way things are at work at the moment I don't know if I can get away. Project deadline looms. 
I think we can handle a maybe. If we go to Tho Tho, it is such a busy place anyway, a couple this way or that won't matter too much. Let's review mid week. Greg - - - - D200 etc

I'm sorry Greg but i wont be able to make it now.
Been in and out of hospital for the past 3 weeks and have to go back in on Friday, and for some reason i thought it was on the 16th and that isnt even a Friday! 
Would love to have come and i really hope we can do this again in the future sometime. Sorry for the late notice. Jamie

Have fun guys and gals - I was thinking I might make it down to say hi to you all, but now looks like I'll only be for the day again on Thursday. I have something very important on Saturday back here too, so staying over for Friday night probably isn't a good idea.
*** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Unfortunately, Nikon Boy/Norm has to work on Friday night so has withdrawn. Redline has also withdrawn. Jamie has some medical stuff going on - good luck with that too Jamie. Our one possible interstate visitor sheepie/Leon can't make it, so this is the list of starters..
Alex and Jit - confirmed Makario and Rosalica - confirmed Pirostitch - confirmed Nicole and Tony - confirmed NeoN and Mario - confirmed Dave B - confirmed blinkblink - confirmed el nino - confirmed mudder - almost confirmed (50/50) Greg B and Rosanne - confirmed So we have 14 or 15. Should be a lot of fun, bring your cameras. See you all there on Friday! Greg - - - - D200 etc
