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

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

Sorry, have 2 other Offlines around those dates.

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

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

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

I'm tentative for next week...

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

17th should work for me...

Great. So potentially six so far. Anyone else?

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

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.

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

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.

I'm bringing something semi funky...

Bugger it, count me in.

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

Hoping for 17th at Brio myself....

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.

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!

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.

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

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).

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.
