Hi mate, out for the 24th. Good shout for a NSW theme though!

[Krusty]

Unfortunately I am a no as well Alex. Good theme though, will look forward to the write ups.

[dave vino]

Sorry, have 2 other Offlines around those dates.

[Polymer]

Sorry Alex, another date would work but not that one..

[catchnrelease]

hmmmmm okay then, well it can be pushed earlier to the week of the 14th if it's not too short notice?

[TiggerK]

Now we're talking.... 15-17 March all good for me..... 18th a maybe

[Polymer]

I'm tentative for next week...

[catchnrelease]

Okay let's make it 16th or 17th. See if we can garner some more interest and then out out restaurant. Open to suggestions.

[dave vino]

I might be up for that, how about Brio at Pyrmont? Cheap and can graze all night. 17th if possible.

[deejay81]

18th would be awesome? PLEEEAAAASSSEE??
I don't know how you guys do the Thursday drinks then go to work on Friday?
I know BYO is limited for Friday nights but surely we can find a place?

If its on a Friday, Lauren and I are DEF in!

[dave vino]

Also NSW with no Hunter that kind of leaves Mudgee, Orange and Southern Highlands ? Meh...

[deejay81]

Did I miss the no hunter part? I think it's prob going to be more like Hunter + anything else interesting from NSW.

[pc79]

Also NSW with no Hunter that kind of leaves Mudgee, Orange and Southern Highlands ? Meh...

Technically, Clonakilla, Collector, Nick O'Leary, Capital etc are all in NSW as are most of the 'Canberra' wineries

You can bring Hunter if you want!

[Polymer]

17th should work for me...

[catchnrelease]

Great. So potentially six so far. Anyone else?

[maybs]

My week next week is yo in the air. I'm a maybe.

[dave vino]

If there is not much traction, just make it a free for all. I'm not really fussed about a theme. Might get a few more along?

I'm not fussed about Thursday or Friday which ever the majority prefer.

[Polymer]

I'm actually shocked that we hit our demand point.

[catchnrelease]

Poor non-Hunter NSW, never any love.

Given low demand, I'll open it up to a no theme bring what you want bonanza. Hopefully we can get at least eight people confirmed by the end of the weekend.

[Polymer]

I'm bringing something semi funky...

[maybs]

Bugger it, count me in.

Is this gonna be at Brio or still up in the air?

[TiggerK]

Hoping for 17th at Brio myself....

[catchnrelease]

I'll call Brio tonight. Given low demand and still some maybes I'll book the table for 8 people. I'll book it in for the 17th.

[catchnrelease]

Okay I've made a booking for eight people for 6:30pm Thursday the 17th at Brio Pyrmont. Apparently they're no longer BYO but the manager made an exception which is nice.

Confirmations appreciated, I'll also see if I can fill the last spot. But if you can join put your name down for sure!

[dave vino]

Yeah barring any meltdowns at work I should be fine.

Shame they are no longer doing byo. (crosses another great restaurant off list of byo's)

I can ask a mate along if you need to make up numbers.

[Bobthebuilder]

ok this is going to be tricky
Only way I can get a leave pass at such short notice is to get a leave pass for the missus too
So I'm kinda in, and on reserves at the same time
Love the theme, no boundaries

[Polymer]

I'm sure we can add more Nick....8 was just because it didn't look like we'd get more (and there are a lot of maybes).

[maybs]

Looks like we will get a crew together sufficient to make it viable. I'm definitely in for Brio on 17th. Will scrape around and see what i have handy that is worth drinking but probably a white and a red.
