This afternoon, I rang The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel and confirmed a lunch reservation for 18 for 1300,
still somewhat shy of the ideal threshold numbers desired, but we're getting there... :omg1:
I'd already made a tentative booking for 20 for 0930 at 'City Extra' (Circular Quay) for Breakfast :drink eat:


=; Anyway, Folks, it'd still be nice to see some more names on the list...! :evil3: Image

The Lord is Sydney’s oldest continually licensed hotel still trading within its original fabric. :pirate:

On 29th June 1831 a man named Richard Phillips obtained a liquor licence for the Shipwright Arms on the north-east corner
of Kent and Argyle streets. The next year, because of the support of the seafarers and the workers on Observatory Hill, he
changed the name to The Sailor's Return. In 1838 Phillips sold to a plasterer, William Wells, who lived on the opposite corner
in a two - storey colonial home he built in 1836 using sandstone blocks quarried from the area at the base of Observatory Hill.
Wells continued to operate the pub opposite his home firstly as the Sailors Return, and in 1840 as the Quarryman's Arms.

In 1841 he sold The Quarrymans Arms and on 1st May 1841 he obtained a liquor licence for his home, which he had been slowly
converting to a Hotel since March 1840. He called the hotel The Lord Nelson. The Wells family operated the pub for the next 30
years and the property stayed in family ownership for a further 18.

A photograph of the hotel taken in 1852, during the tenure of the Wells family, was used to complete a restoration of the building
to its former grandeur in 1986. The Brewery was then added (including the addition of the word Brewery to the façade) and a
significant upgrade to the Accommodation was undertaken in the 1990’s, giving us the pub as it is today.

Located in Tenterfield, the historic Stannum House offers private rooms featuring antique furnishings and a marble fireplace.
Doing the Tenterfield/Stanthorpe area looking for fine wines :wine: and objet d'art plus some good country tucker. :scran:
Check out Stannum House. Wonderful old building and an excellent reminder of our historical past.
Will spend some time trekking around Bald Rock Walking Track and Boonoo Boonoo National Park.
Aaaah ...........physical exercise, mental exercise, sexual exercise, history, wine, good tucker.....
....and did I mention the sexual exercise???? :cock:

:woohoo: What a great country this is!!!! :yess:
So not joining us at the Rocks PW?

I'm sure it will be as enjoyable as any other time.
Tafmo will be there to provide the giggles, amusement and laughs.
Pussa will be there to provide police back-up in case of..........anything.
And of course the usual suspects will be there to add to the merriment.
Some-one else will need to purchase the red wine Friday night.......

Did another recce of the Frisco last week.
Changes; April 24; Schooner $7.50, not a chair in sight.
October 13; Schmiddie (12 oz), $7.50. All tables downstairs high with only high bar stools, or standing.

Opinion of mine host at the Mariners, Frisco has gone downhill quickly.

Last year; Bells schooner $6.00.

Mayhap reason for discussion re venue chaps.

Hi Guys, I have to pull out of the run due to business reasons. As I was going to take Viv and Smiley, they will probably pull out as well.

My reason is in the link
