Adelaide Dinner THE details

Postby DebT on Sat May 03, 2008 9:22 pm

Well certainly looks like plenty of interest so I have made a reservation as follows
Sat 31st May , 7pm, Fonta De Trevi, Pirie St Adelaide

Photo theme for the night "What the ..."
everyone must have either taken , or be able to take a shot that arouses curiousity, makes us wonder what it is, what happened, what went right, what went wrong ... something that invites the eye to linger and generated a bit of conversation and the words "What the "
So I'm sure this creative group can come up with 1 entry per person attending and I suggest A4 size ish so no expense spared with prining costs as the home inkjet will do the trick , I can lash out and bring some blue tac so entries can be anomously displayed on the wall, everyone will get one vote and the winner will receive something (although wouldn't get your hopes too high - but think of the honour)

Happy to receive a PM to confirm numbers as I'm not sure who will be bringing 'company' and I'll send out a reminder a couple of days before.
Catch up soon

Hi Rob - the answer to your question is 'NO'.

It was the furthest away suburb I could think of on the spur of the moment - is there something I don't know about Hackham?

We had a drink there the other night, I think it's relatively safe before midnight... :shock: :lol: :lol:

Looks like I won't be able to make it. Some training has been offered in Mildura on Sunday for middle school maths teachers and, as I am a junior primary teacher who is going to teach middle school maths next year when I am in Canada, I think I should be going to it!! Sorry guys!

Marvin, what more maths training do you need? With your creative accounting practices that you you practice on Pete, how hard can middle school maths be? The real reason is you have not taken any photos of late, is it not :)

Well done Virgs, and too all who attended as i would have loved to come but you know the drill when other things are on. Looks like you all enjoyed the evening so i guess someone had to keep that Rob inline.

Cheers
