Beer n Bullsh1t - Ettamogah 6pm, 9 December - Sydney pre-Xmas drinks

[BigJules]

Hi All

We've got no free weekends until Xmas now, but there's no reason not to catch up. I propose meeting up for a drink and a meal at the Ettamogah Hotel in Rouse Hill.

Plus, we need to start planning some more trips for early next year.

So, anyone keen? Date is a bit flexible, bring your families, nice food, plenty of space and extensive play area for kids.

Sounds good but I got to check Fee's work roster.

i used to live up near there. back when i lived in Quaker's Hill Acacia Gardens. Aah, the good old days when i played rugby for hills...

The one near Albury is the original at the place called Ettamogah - where the comic book was set. The bloke who wrote the comic strips was a copper down that way for many years apparently.

They built that one to look like it was drawn, I think the rest are all a franchise or something taken from there.

All welcome.

If you haven't met anyone from the forum, this is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, get involved in planning for trips in January and beyond, or sooner if you're keen.

I have to drive back to sydney thursday afternoon anyway so I might as well go via the pub!

[krisandkev]

yeah, got excited too, thought ettamogah pub sunshine coast, only two hours away, could have had a shopping trip and a night out.  enjoy all

Ettamogah pub  , no such thing actually existed at the area known as Ettamogah which had only a shop with a petrol bowser out front , was an area roughly 1/2 way [5miles] between the old Albury abattoirs which is now the site of the new Base Hospital and the Hume Weir . The pub designs came from the cartoons drawn by the police sgt stationed out that way published in the Post magazine in the 60's ,most of the cartoon characters were taken from real identities living in Albury and surrounds , the barber + barber shop was in Lavington ,can remember getting the short back and sides every 4th Saturday morning for the princely sum of 6 pence prior to Feb 66 and 10 cents there after.

AAAAARRRRHHHHH Bugger!    I'll be in Canberra (Queanbeyan) from the 9th, most likely the whole weekend

We would have been there also... all of a 15 min drive for us!

[BigJules]

Seems like I should franchise this meet, there's more interest interstate so far.

[CRW]

[singo-26]

 I reckon we could be starters.

[Snow]

Mrs Snow and I are starters for this gig. See you's guys there......I hope

[BigJules]

Ah, erm, cough. 

My team Xmas party was rescheduled due to poor weather so I am now not able to make it.

I hope there is enough interest for this to go ahead anyway, as we need to get some trips on the board for early next year.
