Dinner @ Wagga AFD, Friday night?

b2tf · 28-10-2005, 08:58 PM

There has been suggestion of an informal dinner for all forum members coming up to Wagga on the Friday night before the show.

I am looking to see who is interested in coming along to this, would probably be at a local Pub Bistro etc within walking distance of the Lawson Hotel where most of us are booked.

So, who's in?

Melz · 28-10-2005, 09:04 PM

ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even though i maybe slightly unsociable due to bein tired as, so just ignore me if im like that... i'll be there with bells on.

trust me mel, no matter how tired you are - FF events are always sociable!

About 7:30 or so I would assume?

bprint xr8 · 28-10-2005, 09:27 PM

7.30 would be good. The cruise from Melbourne should be in by then too they were going to be in Albury about 6?

Ok lets start a list.....

Melz
Tickford2001 + ???
bprint xr8
Tibbo + Shotgun
XRFPV8 + mrs XRFPV8

If you wanna come feel free to add yourself to the list, include any others you might be bringing so I make the booking big enough for everybody....

At this stage Im looking at La Porchetta which is a straight walk from The Lawson, Hogs Breath Cafe or The Victoria Hotel Bistro. If we go to the Vic we will need to drive though, Im happy to shuttle people to and from if somebody can lend me a bigger car, but we'll sort that out closer to the time.

I think either the vic or la porchetta Austin, mainly coz or room they both have for large groups. The Vic is usally prety good on a friday night too.

Thats what I reckon, I think Porkeater might be the go because of that. That and its the closest to the Lawson.

Count me in!

b2tf · 29-10-2005, 11:40 AM

For everybody who's wondering about the time Im thinking around 7:30pm, that gives you all time to arrive, check in and think "far out that was a long drive".

I also want to try and send a fair few of our cars up the main street to get a lot of people looking, more publicity for the show etc. Basically just go up, do a lap then go back to the motel, and from there we'll get everybody to La Porchetta.

If the time suits, I'll wait until Wednesday and get final numbers then make a booking.

I would imagine that all Forums members would want to wash their cars from their trip and get rid of all the bugs etc and have them ready for Saturday morning.
Is there a car wash facility somewhere close or could they be washed at the motel complex ?

There 2 carlovers in wagga, the close one is just up the road from the lawson

I was speaking to the other half this morning about dinner friday night, and I thought that perhaps a BBQ somewhere might better suit most people. The reason for this is that we understand that making your way from long distances to a show costs a lot of money, and going out for dinner on friday night might be a bit much to ask of your bank accounts. So, alternatively, how would people feel about going for a drive to our wonderful botanic gardens and having snags or steak and a drink as opposed to eating out? It will be daylight saving by then and won't get dark till 8:30/9 pm. If people like this idea I can buy packs of meat and drinks and ask everybody for a small donation to chip in. It just saves people spending $40-$80 on going out on top of all your other expenses. So what do you think? Please be honest, its just an idea, and we are open to suggestions and ideas.

XA-Coupe · 29-10-2005, 12:55 PM

Mr and Mrs XA are in .. either a BBQ or Dinner.... I would rather a dinner out but we are flexible.

b2tf · 29-10-2005, 01:58 PM

Ok can admin put a poll up - choice is either BBQ or Restaraunt and we'll go with the majority as it stands on Wednesday.

Also re Carlovers etc, I will post up a seperate thread regarding maps etc of Wagga.

**GasoLane** · 29-10-2005, 05:21 PM

La Porchetta for sure. These poor city types will get to meet our flies soon enough without showing them the mozzies as soon as they arrive!

La Porchetta is cheap, anyway my BBQ skills suck!

SpoolMan · 29-10-2005, 10:29 PM

I am not fussed....... but the BBQ is more work for someone..

I Agree La Porchetta is well priced...

Ditto above for me and my 2 (pests) sons.

b2tf · 30-10-2005, 06:42 PM

Porchetta it is. I will make the booking on Wednesday for however many are on the list by then.
