G'day fellars,

I'm sorry that I I'm a bit late with this, but can you book me in as well Jeff?
Will be there Friday night as well, it looks like good weekend coming up with
a great crew at a terrific venue.
Looking forward to catching up with friends and meeting a couple of new ones
We must also remember a toast (maybe 11.00PM) Friday night, 11-11-11-11

( could be Ned and Gough as well)
Regards, Bob

Done deal Bob, see you there!

The pub is about 30 ft above the river so we should be ok :P

Ned Kelly and Gough Whitlam?

Ned's busy (jus' hangin' around) and Gough hasn't confirmed yet, but I'm sure they'll be there in spirit.

Good to see another Friday-nighter, Bob. Should someone set an alarm for 11?

I've just made a new coffee table for Brunhilde, to go with my new po-lice seat -

Good honest Formply, strong enough to dance on and dead flat when the bike's on the centre stand on flat ground.
Do you think I should make a tablecloth or will a simple doily do for now?

By the way, George is coming on Saturday, bringing Philip - and Jack and Cooper (Jane's boys) are being dropped off to me on Saturday as well. So there will be a teenage element (it's rite of passage stuff for young Cooper - he hasn't been to a proper bloke thing before - I'm sure he'll find it educational). Anyway, there's likely to be more for Sat night and Sun morn pub feeds. When do you need firm numbers, Jeff?

Bloody great table Charlie! I'd get some of that non-slip table cloth stuff that the caravan folk use. Then you can leave the coffee pot and all set up when riding.

I just phoned Alf and confirmed 7 for dinner Saturday night and Sunday breakfast.
I think by tomorrow night (Thursday) would be sufficient time for George and Co to know what's doing.

Given that Tintaldra pub is a small affair, it's best to give as much notice as possible regarding our requirements.
Anything can be organised, with sufficient notice.

It is as much for our benefit, as Alf and Maija's.
'Course no one has to buy anything from the pub if they don't want to. But that'd be bloody unAustralian woonit!

Man it's storming here right now. It will be at Charlies at 8:00 pm I reckon

I'm still planing on leavin ~10am Friday from Melton... I think it's ~round 750ks for me, so arrival time should be ~6-7pm or therebouts - would like to cease riding before darkness, not that I'm afraid of the dark or nuthin :?
Chas: that deck looks the biz - I'll be bringing my dancing shoes. :lol: (I'll call you tomorrow night to see how your travel plans are melding.)
Bob: Lining up all those ones should be pretty auspicious I would think, worthy of a drink in celebration at least. one for Ned, one for Gough, one for the RS's and one for the ones... and I'm sure there'll be another reason or two we could think of if we put our minds to it.
I'm looking forward to it already!

Sounds good for me too. I finish an exam at 3:15 in Wodonga. I'm planning on being packed and ready to go beforehand, so just need to have a coffee and etc for the road. Want to meet at mine? We can wait for Pete with another etc.

Damn,.. its shaping up to be a good time. I want to be there Friday too! I am going to pack tomorrow AM just in case I get a break in the traffic.

Mighty fine po-lice seat and work bench charlie. I think a 12 inch metal vice will bolt on there just nicely and you will find a hundred-and-one uses for it.

cheers
