So what are peoples preferences? Anyone who whinges afterwards will be reduced to a pile of low grade gravel to restore a dirt track in north west Queensland to a better quality dirt track at government expense

Personal preference is any day that ends in Y .........second preference is a Saturday

I'd love to meet people that have moved over from the Uk as I have only met Aussies since being here (who are lovely but I'd like a taste of home!) Let me know if anyone would like to meet up for a drink and an exchange of experiences/tips etc!

Bit of a liberty I know, but I'm changing your thread title as its become a meet-up thread. The guys are right, its time we had one, please join in and come along and meet us - almost all of us met at a night out like this one will be. Aussies are welcome too, so bring your partner if you like. I might con a couple of girls from work into joining us if they are free as well

If you (or anyone else) is worried about not spotting the group send me a pm and I will pass on my phone number to you so you can call/text when you arrive

I don't mind whenever, l'll see if I can make. It all depends on how things are on the work front at this point in time.

I will try though.

Bump. I'm going to try to get along to this.
Fridays work better for me also.

Well Friday seems the favourite so far, votes needed for Feb 10th, 17th or 24th.......

Re: Scot in Brisbane/Brisbane CBD Pub Meet-up

Last one at the P&W in Aug '10 was a great meet organised by Polly! Most there were regulars and it does seem intimidating if you have not been before. But I would reccomend any one to come along as we are a friendly bunch.. Dont have any dates in my diary for Feb..
