Ladies and gents and cute little girls. Dinner for Saturday is at 6pm. I said that was ok, so I hope it is.

Me again. Or as I am known at Teh Swanston, the pest from the west.
I have heard from Nikki again and I will probably collect the money for the dinner before hand and we can pay for our drinks as we go. I have sent a few more questions to her so will let you know as they come.

I have also checked about Alyce's new book and it won't be available for purchase on Saturday as it hasn't arrived yet. However we can pre order it if we wish. She has lots of Herbie's Spices in her little shop and other bits and pieces.

Cookie, thanks for the offer but it looks like I will now have to drive and go back home in between the cooking class and dinner to sort DS out for basketball. I'll let you know though.

Same here. I could have ordered it before and saved 10%.

No worries Wonder. The offer is open.

Hi forumfesters, later today an itinerary will be posted for you all to print out.  I still need your mobile phone numbers and next of kin contacts, both CP and I had a very poor response to previous requests.  It's important to have these details so please help us to help you if there's an emergency.  Looking forward to catching up with you all again.

That's OK Kimmy, this is a very long thread and things are easily missed.  Thanks to those who have responded, I have details of 10 people now.

CP at the moment I have you included for the dinner at Red Spice Road on Friday night - is that correct?

For everyone else that is attending I need to confirm numbers with the restaurant today so everyone is sure, the details are:
Red Spice Road - Artemis Lane (with is in the QV building complex)
* 6pm - 7.45pm. They are pretty quick with their service so I suggest we are there and ready to eat at 6pm
* Due to numbers we will be choosing a set banquet for the table. My suggestion would be to go for the middle one which includes their "famous" sticky pork belly and a good sampling of dishes across the three courses. Details of the different banquets are on their web page (just be sure you are looking at the Artemis Lane venue as the menus are slightly different. When we've had this one before there was more than enough food for everyone.
* From past meals there, they seem to cater well for food intolerances and vegetarian options in the banquet and the chef has also agreed to a single plainer dish of vegetables for a few so we were able to all go to a single restaurant.
* Drinks are purchased separately

And lastly, it looks like my DD might join us for dinner so I hope that's ok by everyone.

When I had some time in the city on Saturday, I went and looked at a few of the rooftop bars which are close by and none were able to guarantee us a table so our best option for post dinner I think is to make our way back to the hotel.
Looking foreword to seeing you all on Friday

Me too and I'm sure Kerry and Colette will be too.
I've checked out their menu and it has a lot of tasty sounding dishes on it. It will be lovely to meet your DD Wonder. My DD had hoped to wangle time off to come over too but they wouldn't give her leave from work.

I think it's only CP who needs to confirm.  Cookie could you post a link to the menu please.
