Yes Coral.......It is a problem, no Ladies in the Sydney area but I'm sure if at anytime you were coming down to the "big somke", Rick and Ned would organise a run. Of course you would qualify for "Virgin " flights but Qantas and other Regional flights are available....LOL.
Cheers Dino.

Excellent news Buck.

Thank God there will be two blokes on this run with some culture now..... You and me.

I was getting a little concerned how I would keep the rabble in line but now I will have some help.

See you on Saturday mate.

Hi everyone,

It seems Steve, our overseas guest of honour is unable to make the Brooklyn until 1100. If there are no objections we will kick off at this time.

Rick and I will get there around 1030, just in case any of you have already made transport arrangements.

Any problems, please let me know.

Dino, we need you. I promose I will keep you off the red.

Sheesh, that'll be two I've missed. Not going to be a third I can assure you. Unfortunately (well, not really) a dirty weekend got in the road of this run.

Have a great day on Saturday everyone. I'll be thinking of you from Halliday's Point (yeah, right).

Try to have fun guys, I know I will be.

I might just be able to find an hour or three on Saturday to join you all for some boozing and bullshitting . I will attempt to make the Brooky by 1100 but if I am late I have Steve's mobile number so will find you that way. Looking forward to it.
