OK, it was a little windy (how does it get to be so windy inside when there are no visible openings to the outside?) and noisy, but the food and company were terrific. Thank you all for a fun evening, and for not complaining about me forcing you to wear name labels.
Roll call:
Larissa (lhanara) and Teariki
Natasha (natmarie73) and Dallas
Tae (boomtown) and Danika - who says she's joining the forum soon - welcome!
Renate (rkordic)
Bruce (WinstonWolfe)
Aaron (Aaarghhh)
Tracey (ozperp)
Ian (ianvestor)
Sue-Ann (sue78) and Jeff
Andrew (Andrew_A) and Virginija and not-yet-born son
Sailesh (Sailesh_Channan) and Anu - you youthful buggers! I'm still amazed that you have teenagers
Kris (baconinoz)
Neil (backpacker) and YitGoh
Brynn (bamute) - surprise attendee after knocking off work early - great to see you!
For a total of exactly 21 (and a half including baby A) - the number I'd booked for - which considering how fluid the guest list was, is a minor miracle!
And the billl worked out perfectly - we managed to have 1.8% extra, about the same as last time. Man, those Regatta staff are going to be fighting to be rostered on for when the extravagantly tipping property investors book in!
Next up is
lunch on Thursday 12th July. I'll post details and ask for RSVPs closer to the date.
