Default The Gap. Brisbane - February 10th

The Gap Sports Club, Glenaffric Street. Saturday February 10th.
I've arranged with the lovely people that run the place that we can use it for a North/West Brissie Meet. We can meet there from 1pm onwards, there are lots of places nearby for kids to play - depending on local footie games, verandah where you can drink and smoke at the same time, food will be available. Its right next to the Gap Village shops. Staff are friendly, plenty of free parking.

Some more details for those interested - "Fifteen to twenty minute drive from Brisbane City; fully licensed; poker machines; pool tables; big screen; pub grub and finger food available; bus stop and taxi rank five minutes stagger away; kids allowed until 9pm; natives are friendly."

Who fancies it?

That'd be great - its a really quiet spot, lots of parkland and trees around it, yet near enough to the shops if you want to combine the afternoon with getting supplies in! I was there most of today and all the staff seemed really pleased at the thought of being a Brit meeting place!
The cook/chef is a friend of mine, so we will work out a compromise with the food so everyone gets something but she can also have a good day
She did say if anyone has specific requirements for food, pm me, and she will see what she can arrange.
