Melbourne - Australia - GTG - 26 -30 August 2019

Hi

This is a proposal for seeking expressions of interest from anyone interested to attend a Get-To-Gether on a date to be fixed between 26 - 30 AUGUST 2019 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The event will have a partial TRF Sponsorship towards food and beverage so it may be worth your while to attend.

There will be a special overseas guest attending.

Considering a suitable quality steak house or asian cuisine in Melbourne CBD. More details to follow upon receipt of posts to this thread expressing interest.

I can second that, they have great steaks and a fairly good wine list!

Or Vlados?

One of Steve’s favourites.

But it’s not in the CBD.

Thanks, Steve, for once again considering a special GTG to allow for a conclusion to After Dark activities!

Can people please clarify when they say words to the effect "Great" is that a response that they are willing to attend this GTG or not?

So far no one is attending as I interpret the above posts?

Do it alone, Steve. I have no doubt, that you would do it correctly!
As above said, we donate for keep running TRF, not for gambling.

Thanks for your endless patience!
