Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?As you have probably noticed from Gary's posts, the forum's Anniversary Weekend
is approaching - this year it will be an astonishing five years since the then named D70 Users was formed. The Sydney AW Dinner is on Saturday 8 August. Do we have any interest in a Melbourne inner/lunch that weekend? Possible options- Saturday 8 August, dinner, or Sunday 9 August, lunch Somewhere cheapish and central, for example - one of the many Vietnamese restaurants along Victoria Street Richmond, or - one of the pizza joints in Carlton, or - other suggestions welcome.

Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Sadly I will be in Sydney for the city to surf (my fiance is running in it). I could potentially do the Friday (7th) night after work though.

Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Greg, we've been pretty quiet here in Melbourne for a while now, so a get together for the anniversary would be good. As I already have a lunch booking on Sunday 9 Aug, saturday night dinner somewhere would be good.
Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Hey Greg, where has everyone else gone?????????
Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?---- sound of crickets chirping ----
Not much action on the Melbourne AW dinner front by the look of things. Since the only positive response is for a dinner on Saturday 8 Aug (thanks photograham), that will be the prospective date. However, we are a looong way from having enough takers to get this baby going. So, one last time, any interest? Or has the whole project done a Michael Jackson? (i.e. died) Greg - - - - D200 etc

Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Enjoy the homeland Carlos!
At the moment I'm open for either Sat dinner or Sunday lunch that weekend. Best to lock things in soon though, as the calendar fills up fast!
Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Sun lunch would be better for me too.

Is anyone going to meet up this coming weekend in Melbourne or not?
Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Unfortunately the are only a couple of possibles, and then not for the same time, so I think we may
need to try again later. Greg - - - - D200 etc

Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Have been out of town for a few day, so I have not been able to reply or add any suggestions. Because of where we live, SE suburbs would be great for us. But, we can travel. Thought Victoria St, Richmond? was the probability??????

Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?I really need to keep a bit more up-to-date with the forum ..... my only consolation for missing the thread and event entirely is I was away that weekend ....
Hope to see you all at the next one ![]() Elena
Re: Melbourne AW Weekend Dinner?Looks like I missed out quite a bit while I was "away"....!
