Just thinking of my ageing legs

remind me on not to go to the bar too many times as I'm sure it contributes to my snoozing time !

We'll organise a gorgeous waitress to take care of you and bring you beer that Polly pays for.

See you all there.

We've done it for several years now, some people stay all afternoon and evening, some only pop in for an hour,but I thought I'd start the thread now so that anyone who knows they will be here on New Year's Day can include it in their planning!
Some of us are working the night before so may need a few matchsticks for the eyes, but I'm sure I will cope.....

Pig and Whistle, thats the big one by the river, in Eagle Street, anytime from about midday on New Year's Day

Lady Carbery & my self will be there - its great New Years day tradition

Probably wouldn't want me there either after a session on the pop.

He's not building a new house is he? One going up in my street (well, still technically my street, but not living there since I moved out and into an apartment in South Brisbane a couple of months ago).

Sounds great and thanks to Cappucino for telling me about it as I had not seen this post. Providing we can get a bus or train into the CBD we'll come along!

Shouldn't be a problem as we have friends who travel up from Gold Coast via rail each year. Which area you travelling from ?

I caught the bus from and back to Jindalee last year. No problems and no traffic. It is easy.
