Just a quick report on this event which occurred last night.
18 people turned up (if we count the 4 kids), spread over two tables. I was hoping/expecting more people (say 20 to 30) - may be, having the event squeezed in between a public holiday and State of Origin night wasn't a great idea. Also, having school holidays start at the end of the week may have been a factor.
Conversation on my table was non-stop (... and that had nothing to do with me, being shy as I am).
I thought the food was good although not what I would call cheap.
Everyone I talked to said they enjoyed the event and that we should do it more often. This is something the Committee will have to consider.
Last but not least, many thanks to all those who wished me happy birthday and gave me birthday presents - that was NOT the reason for this event.
