*drum roll*


After three planning meetings, disrupted by @tuapekastar's tales, and @boomy's boozing (... he accidentally drunk the display bottle of Cantiniere), and bucket loads of bytes of bandwidth burnt on blindly refreshing this thread, the date for this auspicious event has finally achieved approval from the board of drinkers.

Friday, February 17, 2023
7:00pm to 10:01pm
The Olive Tree, 19 Park Street, South Melbourne VIC 3206

Attendance is limited to cool cats (and dogs, or budgerigars - we don't discriminate... but we do discriminate if you don't pay your own way. Please bring cash to avoid any difficulty in bill splitting on the night. Consider this your "54 day advanced warning" to visit a bank or ATM prior to your attendance.

Dinner will be a casual affair. Bring a bottle of wine "better than" Mitolo Cantiniere Shiraz 2013, or buy something off the OT's capable list.

A business trip, surely?

 

[cove]

Yes @penegal but i tend to fly on points mostly because I can. Have seen pictures of you with a young lady so is that going well? So much for me to catch up on because of the Covid lockouts.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

So why wasn’t I consulted about this date? No way I can make this - having a manicure that night

On a serious note the only thing that might stop my attendance is if a trip to China springs up and I just have to be on first flt I can get
