We're going to throw out the good old mexican myswag welcome mat and get together on the Sunday arvo/evening for a cheers or two from 5pm then have a pub bistro dinner if you can stay on.
Post your name here if you're coming for drinks and if you're staying for dinner.
I've booked a table for 12 in the bistro for dinner from 6:30pm, but can increase the booking for more if needed.
Trackers also looking for some ideas of other things to do while in Melbourne. No car, so just ideas around the cbd of interest that are uniquely Melbourne. Post your suggestions here.
1-there's an old pub, I think near the corner of King St and Londsdale that might be worth a visit
2- Hardware Lane good alfresco restaurant strip with jazz bands etc
Who's coming?
1-Tracker & co = 6
2-ScrapsD40 = 1
3-Bird = 1
4-SJIndustries = 2
5-Geoff & Kaye = 2
Table booking under my name if you arrive early

Calling any mexicans free next Sunday afternoon. We have a FNQld'r (tracker - wayne) visiting our fair city for some cultural enlightenment - Edinburgh Military Tattoo and some creepy show called Ghost
Anyhoo, I'm going to try and catch up on the Sunday arvo for a cheers or two somewhere near Etihad (location tbc) and you're welcome to swing on by and meet our visitor.

Obviously near public tpt may help some, but I don't have a myki card to start with, and happier to drive... I can pickup people on my way towards where ever we are going from my place.
Post by: scrapsD40 on February 07, 2016, 12:57:47 PM
Can I suggest somewhere NOT in the city so people can drive and park for < $80 a hour? I ****in hate the city.gotcha, understood. Leave it with me. Somewhere with free parking and easy to get to.

My words of advice - don't come back in winter
Just one other thing tho, seeing you didn't get to meet any other Mexican Myswagg'rs, I wouldn't want you returning home thinking they're all like me. No sir, not likely, not ever could the rest be like me.
Everyone else is just like xcvator
