Sau Monthly Dinner 25.5.06

[N1GTR]

Guys

Last month was a shambles

So this month it'll be easier, and no one will look like an idiot for booking a table of 9 or 10 and having only 3 people show up, as for this place you dont have to book tables

Its DIY steak for those that havnt been there before

WHERE Great Northern Hotel (corner of Mowbray Rd and Pacific Hwy) ( http://www.greatnorthernhotel.com.au/ )

WHEN 25.5.06 @ 730pm

No, you choose the cut from their selection then go and cook it on the big BBQ/grill thing they have

[S13Deviat]

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im in!!!!!

This place is the bomb!!!! $10 steak, choose you cut and cook yourself! Plus copious amounts of beer, and all within 2 mins of my place!!!

All said, everytime it is here, we get a huge turnout, normally 10+, i think a few months ago it was about 20+

yeah i think we need to start looking at some different places. the whole thing of the monthly dinners was we used to try lots of different establishments in different areas.

You just dont want to be hit up for beers!

Yeah, i think at this dinner, the people who attend should pick next months destination, and keep using that rule from now on. But to avoid having another turnout like last month i thought here would be ok

Next months location is sorted then!

meh. the dinners have gone down hill a bit sadly maybe that's why i'm being a weener and moaning.

12 months or more ago and the dinners were great. always a good turnout. we had lots of people suggesting good places. always a few beers. most of the old crew have stopped going and now not many people show up.

still i will probably come. i'll do like most people do these days and say that i'm coming, but reserve the right to not show at the last minute :D

haha, i am a bitching old prick.

Yeah I agree

The whole "lets try different places" thing has gone down the drain. I could have sworn that we were at Great Northern not 2-3 months ago. Everytime we can't decide where to go, we always seem to just revert back to Great Northern or Orchid Thai. WHERE'S THE SENSE OF ADVENTURE??? They're both great venues, but I would prefer to try somewhere new each month.

Having said that, none of us have gotten up off our asses to organise anything different, so props to Steve for keeping this monthly dinner tradition alive

[cul202]

At least the last time we were at The Great Northern there was a good turnout... &, more importantly, I got quite pissed

In

[N1GTR]

No worries Merli - glad to do it

And next month WILL be something new.......Joy's place

[S13Deviat]

Yeah i agree with everyone... variety would be great but it has done a little down hill lately with attendance.....

These regular places, as already seen, always gets the #'s together.....

As for Joy's well i do believe she offered herself for a seafood buffet.....................

[d00dz]

Hows about all you can eat korean bbq?

[Blitz]

The reason a few of us have gone a little off the monthly dinners is the number of people that regularly say they are "in" but never show up. Anyone that doesnt intend to come along, shouldnt post in the thread.

And echoing Merli's post, good work to you Steve for starting the thread

As a side idea, we havent done Mexican or Teppanyaki for a while
