Frankly it could have been due to the alcohol served, but personally it is the presence of the brethren & their ladies & the tremendous fellowship that followed. The business meeting took only half an hour of the planned "meeting", which started at 3:00 pm and ended at 12 midnight [for some!].
But don't be distressed if you've missed the January meeting, our President, Bro Louie has come up with a great Ladies Night this February 20 at 6:00 pm [7:15 pm booking] at Bay View Hotel's 25th Floor Restaurant [90 William St, Woolloomooloo NSW 2010]. Approximate cost is $50 per person.
Parking in the building, $15.00 flat rate.
