That dress code is my favourite
Mine too, Smokie. Bit of grunge to it.
“As you are” is Adelaide code for moleskins, striped shirts and your favourite pair of RMs (can you get RM skivvies JTH?)
I’ll bet someone laughs if I take the dress code literally.
I was once invited to an official function on the terrace of the NT parliament – as part of the Writers Week up there. Dress code: Territory Rig. I rang the protocols office to find out what that was. Bloke on the end of the phone laughed, “It’s whatever you bloody like mate.” And it was. Great night by the way.

Please come if you can – will be a great day, especially with the splendiferous JTH on the mike. ?
We desperately need some almanac folks attending!
Understand a discount on drinks package will be available for anyone whose aufc jumper still fits
Would have loved to attend but am on our way to Italy. Strong likelihood I’ll raise a Peroni soon!
