Haha. Well, it won't be Kylie, but I doubt that you'll be disappointed though.

Excellent. A full house.

So what time? 4ish? And where?

Given that we are locals I'm sure that we would be able to suggest some different places than the usual meet up spot! Anything in and around the CBD is fine by me. The Rocks or somewhere near Wynyard or Town Hall would be great.

I'll be staying at a CBD Travelodge.

I would have been there with a tad more notice, too late now to rearrange shifts.

Bugger. It would have been nice to meet a few more locals like yourself Dave.

As for a venue, here are some suggestions from me, in order of preference:

- The Lord Nelson - The Rocks - English style pub with their own brewery on site
- Harbour View Hotel - The Rocks - nice upstairs area with views over the bridge and harbour
- The Hero of Waterloo - The Rocks - As the LN, but no brewery
- Philips Foote - The Rocks - nice outdoor area, or indoor 'English Pub' style

Wynyard Area:

- The CBD hotel
- Bavarian Beer Cafe

Any suggestions from others?

Oh, and the special guest is none other than Moomba .

I am good for which ever really.

I live in Potts Point so can be at any of those venues within 10 minutes.

Hmm don't know about being a special guest but am happy to join in. It will be nice to meet a few new FT faces.

See you all Sunday. Now can you all please organise some decent weather for this event?

Have now added you to the list.

Have emailed the place to see if they can reserve a table for us with a label named "FT" ^
