Members from Melbourne

Hi all

Just wondered if there were any members from Melbourne, Australia wanting to meet for drinks when it warms up and stops raining.

Cheers Mark

O.K. so what about 22 December?

Japanese Restaurant or even better the best "Pizza Restaurant in Australia for 2010" ("+39" at 362 Little Bourke Street Melbourne).

http://www.plus39.com.au/

Imagine Lobster Pizza or Truffle Pizza........a truely gastronomic experience

Maybe I'll have a free Rolex giveaway to all attendees

I tentatively booked 6 places (this can be adjusted) at +39 at a time of 6-6:30pm.

Let me know if this doesn't suit. It seems they have 2 sittings I'm not sure what the other time is......maybe I'll check, but I just wanted to book so that we didn't miss out.

Good thinking Steve ! It's getting harder to make a booking this time of the year

There is no way we will have to finish in 30 minutes but it might be 6-8 for the first sitting and 8-10 for the second sitting
At least that's what I'm guessing.

Well at least it has the coolest watch geeks

Now go and play with your bark
