O.K. Peter what is the plan.
Lunch for me is likely to be a problem due to work commitments.
Dinner is definitely possible.

O.K. guys well any views on where it should be?

Who prefers 18 to 19 i.e. next Monday or Tuesday?

There is a place in Lonsdale Street called "Pacific" and man it has bargain basement prices on some of the best Chinese food in town.

Roast Pork, Roast Duck, Calimari, etc. etc. its a big restaurant but I'm not sure about alcohol.

I'll find out now.......as I'll be there in 10 minutes and be back with a full preview.

By all means make any suggestions you please.

I would love to attend as I am in Sydney for a few weeks. However, I have some family pressing issues that I am not able to leave behind not even for an evening. Apologies!
