Brisbane Pub Night, Saturday 25th Feb 2012
 
By popular demand......

Saturday 25th Feb, Brisbane CBD. Its going to be a pub/drinking meet so sorry but its probably not child-suitable.

Suggestions for venues are Gilhooleys or the Pig and Whistle (Eagle Street). I would suggest the Pig is cheaper, and better for those of us who are football fans :sneaky: but lets have some views on it.
I know a few people wanted Fridays, but there are some of us who actually can't do Fridays at all due to work or would be very late, whereas those who voted for Friday did say they could probably do Saturday. Remind me in a couple of months and we'll have a Friday one then :)

Start time anything after 4.30 (cos that's when I will be leaving work!).

Anyone who is new and worried about spotting us :eek: please send one of us a pm and we can swap mobile numbers :thumbup:

:beer: :beer: :beer:

Ah, might have to change it then if others are going, which is likely. Hows the following week?

Lord & Lady Carbery assured me last weekend that if its a Saturday they should make it - Fridays are no good, something to do with staffing in their Palace I think :sneaky:
Dunno about Alfie..

If I'm not working I'll come along!

I'm on holiday in Japan (skiing*) for 2 weeks and only get back 2 days before this, so I'll have to check my roster when I'm back from my hols and hopefully I'm not working and can come along!

*so it's possible I'll be the one on crutches..... :lol:

My vote would be for the P&W - for me it ticks all boxes good choice of beers / food, plenty of room, ideal underground parking next to it, good friendly atmosphere..

I think its probably the better one for a Saturday night, much more space and it does always seem to have a good atmosphere about it :)
