Very pleased to see these back. Excellent news and I look forward to pushing open the front door at noon one Friday during the footy season!
You and me both, Mickey!
I’m booked in!
See you there.
We should try to have an Adelaide odd Friday lunch on April 1st before this season’s first ever Friday night showdown
James- I’d be keen. I reckon we’d get a quorum, or at least a gaggle of enthusiasts.
Sounds great, I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting some Almanac crew in-person for the first time! L
James, we’re due. I’ll get onto it. Whether it’s April 1 or not remains to be seen. Cheers, JTH
April 1 is the date of the AUFC Blacks Long Lunch.
JTH I’m happy to help
