It's all good, Nigel!  :thumbs

Numbers are lookin' good.

Russ, is there a confirmed booking, as yet?

Sue got on the dog & bone just before and we're all booked in.
Sue will confirm actual numbers the day before...  ++

Bav owners don't squabble. We just ride it, and get it done.

Normally, I would be able to assist, but under the current circumstances I won't be able to commit to the RTE, or a further trip to Melton or Gisborne.

  • Helen & Michael will be best under the circumstances

I’m out. I’m dropping the bike off for assessment in the morning and then going house hunting, again….
I’m getting sick of being one of 10-30 people looking at each place

What area you looking in?  I have family in real estate, I might be able to put in a good word for you.

Not too fussed about where, as long as my public transport commute to the CBD isn’t more than about 45 mins and there’s secure parking for the car and the ST.  Looking at paying up to about $450 a week.

Lunch for 11 is confirmed...  ++

Weather is looking a touch warm but looking on the bright side, it's supposed to be cooler than in Melbourne!

Hope you all have a lovely lunch!  :beer

Yes, enjoy the ride, the lunch and the company of friends. 

Looks like I've picked a good time to be suffering from sore ribs.  Even a 1.5 hour trip (each way) sitting, some bumpy roads with a seat belt would too much for this old fella at the moment.

Not me, but I'll take any supportive words.

Good to hear it was another great RTE.  If it's worth a visit (good food?), I might meet Russ there one day.

Thanks JD, but Sue did the hard work (phone calls) lol.
Glad it all went off without a hitch...Sue & I would have loved to have been there but duty called!  :'(
I suppose I shouldn't complain though as we had a massive feed at the Old England Hotel in Heidelberg, so much in fact that we didn't bother with dinner!
So much for our diets...oh, well, back to it on Monday... :beer
