MEL Dinner/Drinks August 2nd @"Blue Train" from 5:30pm ...

[blackcat20]

I noticed a few of us are crazy enough to be doing Dry July, so was thinking a dinner at the start of August might be a nice way to celebrate our success. I'll be working in Parkville on Fridays in August which would make it easy for me for a change. Is there any interest?

Ok. Definitely August 2. Venue "Blue Train" - 5:30pm.

Yes, was thinking about this as well. Count me in. We can talk about cats.

Dates I could do easily are Aug 2, Aug 23 & Aug 30 (maybe Aug 16 but 9th harder due to VA FT AGM the next day).

2nd and 9th are best for me but I can be flexible. After that I go back to working in the sticks

All good for me, although the 2nd will help those hanging out for a drink.

Thats what I'm thinking too. Should we just say the 2nd and be done with it?

I've flagged my interest once or twice, however if the drinks are on the 2nd, I would hope to make the effort and get along.

I also work in Parkville

As one of those crazy enough to drunkenly agree to dry July on a whim one night, I am definitely up for an August do

Early August would be good!

Awesome. Have never organised one of these so venue suggestions are welcome.

I am also doing Dry July.

Plans are a bit up in the air currently, but I will do my best to come along

Well where do you live, we can have dinner and then crash there for the night.

Seriously, somewhere easy to public transport and where we can get a big enough table.

Oh and since you're the organiser you get to pay on your credit card to get the QFF points (or I will if you don't want to) and the others bring cash to pay their share.

It's pretty easy - Pick a date and time, choose a venue, count attendeesand have a good evening

Dry July? Isn't that some El Niño effect??

In true Dutch stylez, afraid GM will be wetting his appetite in Amsterdam at local 'cafe's' and throughout Germany in July/August.

Have fun and look forward to all the debaucherous stories...

My house is a bit small, only one bed and I have a measley CC limit...

I'm a likely starter.

If I was booking, I'd choose a Qantas or Velocity partner restaurant

This could work for me.

I should be able to make it, but won't confirm just yet. I still have a dry July to complete too, but that is because I am driving across the Simpson.

As always, I am more than happy to help out

Are you ever at work? Or are you on permanent holiday?

Speaking of which, we need to talk RE:HBA
