With just 4 weeks to go, thought I'd start to round up the starters... :D

Regretably, Ned won't be a starter on Saturday 6th March, due to an earleir commitment to a family wedding in Katoomba, however, he'll definately be there for the 'survivors lunch' on the Sunday... :roll:

So far we have 'Star Starter' and SUPERMODERATOR SeeJay fronting all the way from Cairns... :shock:
Steve Shepherd is rocking up from Nowra... :)
Burgo is promising to put in an appearance this time... :roll:
Bobcat is threatening to fly up fom Canberra to keep us all in line... :cry:
or she could hook up with Roger Fidler, who's not missed out on one yet... :wink:
SeeJay feels that Jim Parsons will be there as well... :o
Seems CharlieS is happy to put in a repeat performance... :lol:
Poseidon is assuming he can get a leave pass by then... :?
and SUPERMODERATOR Deskjockey is 'off the nest' and PROMISES he'll make it this time... :roll:
And of course there's ME...! 8)

Late call confirming Dinophot will be there and appolgies from Geordie Moult who's heading home to Marg that weekend... :D

Haven't heard from Barney, Rob, Quickie or Jack Frost, Bill Chick, or for that matter, all of the local Sydney based RAN Skilled Hands Members, but you're ALL WELCOME...! :D :D

My suggestion for this one is to kick it off with a lengthy liquid lunch at the rooftop beer garden/ deck of Pier 26 Bar, in Darling harbour... Directly across from the Vampire and Onslow (or is it Ottway?) moored at the Australian Maritime Museum, directly above the Harbour Cruise Wharf and between the Pyrmont Bridge and the Sydney Aquarium... Check it out... http://www.pier26.com.au/ :D :D

Did I hear my name mentioned :?:

I'll e-mail Bobcat as time draws near to see if she wants to join me on the trip North.

Speaking of Dino; I had the pleasure of his company this week as he was doing a job in the area.

'Till the 6th

Cheers
Roger :)

Yes please ! ! I hope to be a starter but will give a definate answer closer to the " Run " .
I was in Goulburn for a job and decided to ring Roger. He invited me over and we had good chat and a couple brews. He showed me his wine cellar ! ! !. I have never seen so many bottles of wine in one place except for a winery. Absolutely amazing ! ! ! all under temperature and humity controled inviroment . I know what your thinking Ned ! ! ! but the security is even more rigid to keep the likes of you out ! ! ! Ha..Ha..
He sent me on my way with a couple of bottles which I'm yet to have.
Thanks for the great day, Roger.
Look forward to catching up with you all.
Cheers Dino.

Pretty right for shoes, Rick, but thanks anyway. It's just that us country blokes living up here in paradise avoid footwear as much as possible.

Cheers
