As mentioned in the previous Brisbane drinks thread (Brisbane Drinks 20 May 2009) there is a drinks night in Brisbane on Wednesday, 10 June 2009 ~5:30pm.

The venue is The Mill Hotel Bar & Restaurant. It is located on Wickham Terrace, on the corner of Bartley St, next to Brisbane Private Hospital, opposite the old Tower Mill and ~100 metres from Jacobs Ladder.

Hope to see everyone there....

Oh and don't forget the Brisbane AFL night (Brisbane AFL Night 11 July 2009) in July.

Should be good to go according to the trusty office calendar.

[serfty]

Can't do this date in June, I'll be returning from the USA that day.

When's July's? I may be able to attend ... with sufficient notice.

[vec]

Will be in Mt Isa on the 10th, coming back through BNE on the 11th on the way back to SYD.

Back up to BNE on the 12th...

So close!

Not sure. That will be decided at the next drinks night unless you want to suggest a date....

[samh004]

I'll be there.

Unfortunately still without internet services (cable) on the Gold Coast.

Finally can't keep it a secret anymore. The agony was driving me crazy.

As mentioned in another thread Mal's working visa has been granted for the UK so he will be going back to the old dart shortly. This drinks night will be in honour of Mal and I will ask serfty this afternoon if he can change the thread title to Brisbane Drinks 10 June 2009 (Farewell to Mal) or somthing similar.

Mal and I have been the backbone of the Brisbane drinks nights and he will be sorely missed and I have absolutely enjoyed his company the past year trying to cope with living in Brisbane and his advice and knowledge is always appreciated. Hopefully Brisbane drinks nights will be able to continue without his presence but he will be sorely missed.

On another note munitalP and I kept the Mill Hotel & Restaurant going for another night last night although I got to thank munitalP paid for most of the drinks shouts. Thanks for your company munitalP thoroughyl enjoyed it and you convinced me to stay away from Ryanair. Until next time....

Your more than welcome JK and the feelings mutual - I'm just sorry I was delayed the night before - my calendar says I should make the next one OK - but... work keeps mucking up my drinking time!

I was slightly surprised to find a 152.00 cheque in my wallet this morning... I wonder how much Mr. Heineken & Mr. Turkey had to do with that.... hmmm

Mr!

Thanks John

Yeah, this will be my final drinks night in Brisbane as long as everything goes to plan, and probably the last chance to catch up with AFF'ers before I head away (date isn't confirmed yet, but will be late June or early July).

I wish you very well on your foreign excursion Mal. Not likely to catch up prior to your departure, but I'm sure you'll continue to grace this forum from afar.
