That makes 3 of us then - that's a start!!    ;)

Do we have to wait until after footy - or can we use it as a great excuse not to think about footy?

Well that makes four - so how about I book a Saturday lunchtime at the Grand Hotel RAB Restaurant at 33 Spencer Street  Melbourne - any preferences for a Weekend - I am thinking end of July early August

Say - - - 20th or 27th July or 3rd August.

You tell me your preferences and we'll go with the most popular.  When a day is fixed we may find other who will join us!   

If you state your preferences as soon as possible I will ring the place and make sure it is available.

So at the moment we have Tedscout, Leonie/Cmore, redmr2red/....and me, Wiggy.

come in spinner - any more takers?   ;)

Have also heard from Leonie - any of those dates for her too.

Good oh - do you have an easier name Redmr2red - or will we just call you Red?   ;D

And I am the same  - so I will go for the British spirit of compromise and go for the middle date - 27th July.    Will ring and book tomorrow and then ask then to hang fire on how many of us will be there

Right, line up with your expressions of interest!  Lots of historic photos of old Melbourne railways  around the walls - that should get us started!     ;D ;D 8)

Wiggy   :)


So we have, thus far . . . . . .
 
Tedscout ,
Cmore/Leonie,
Red,
Wiggy
