MEL Meet A Moderator Drinks/Dinner, Thursday 23 Jan

[boomy]

Hi all, it's looking good for me for tonight (no issues, unlike Cruiser, by the sounds of things!) - I should be free from about 6, so it would be great to join those having a drink at Y&J. Having not met anyone previously, could someone who will be at Y&J please let me know where to find you! I'll be the 6'9" guy in a dark suit!

I'll be there around 6.15, 1.90cm green polo.

You should have had a beer with me last night - the alcohol would have killed the germs...

You're right, I should have.

 

[tuapekastar]

On way to Y&Js shortly. Upstairs in the shadow of Chloe's depilated charms, or downstairs?

 

[penegal]

And it begins... Just had my first refreshment of the day at a very important work meeting

Apologies - now out - a late invite to the tennis tonight, so could not say no...

Sorry, won't be making it. All a bit mad here this week. Hope everyone has fun.

I'll be there around 6.15, 1.90cm green polo.

Have just done the rounds of Y&Js - haven't spotted and 6'9" people or green polo shirts yet. Will go storing again soon. Blue horizontal striped polo and jeans too big for me, about 5' 10"

Done!

Thanks to the Narooma MR girls and others for assisting QF WP with the organising and helping to make quite a convivial night.

Met some with whom I have dined with before and others for the first time - all genial and happy. Looking forward to the next meet.

PS - Thanks to mark for the AED (I'll spend them wisely!) and the AUH advice (Jessica too).

Our Hilton host celebrated her birthday thanks to straitman's (and +1's) generosity.
