Get a KCR from Fanling to Kowloon Tong. Then a taxi to my home. Should be less than 45 mins travel time. Our BBQ doesn't end till 8pm

I try to bring more girls to come then... Ha Ha~

Now we have a situation here, lads.

Due to the unexpected positive responses , my home is probably too small to accomodate all of you for the Spurs v Reading game. I think we might have to move to somewhere else for the footie after the BBQ.

Any suggestion? What about Dan Ryan's at Festival Walk, or Delaney's at TST? or somewhere in Mongkok, Hung? or back to Delaney's Wanchai?

James - thanks for the offer for Saturday - sound like a great day, but it's just not going to work with my schedule. Final game of the season at 4pm... few beers afterwards... I probably wont be free until the Reading game.

Just remember if you go outside to watch - Reading vs Spurs ain't gonna be first choice on the TV as it is a 3pm kick off.

James - are we allowed to run the BBQ beyond 8pm ?

sure, time is flexible

I guess if a few people arrive around 6pm there is a chance the BBQ will run later.

Is the BBQ area under cover ? ie, proceed whatever the weather ?

The BBQ place - both outdoor and indoor. The stove / griller(?) is outdoor but they have canapy so it should be ok if the rain is not that heavy. Cooked food can be taken back to the indoor area with air con.

It is a go-ahead.

Excellant. That's what i like to hear...press on regardless of weather. Nothing worse on the morning of a BBQ to have everyone phoning up debating whether to cancel or not. Top man James.

I start work at 9:30 and finish at 8:30 on Saturdays Edman, so possinly longer than your doorman

So, who's confirmed in finally?
And who's bringing partners? I need to check with Monika if she wants to come along.

The match - where are we watching this? It has to be either Hung's bar or Delaneys to actually get our game on the screen, right?

Updated Team News:

UPDATED!

Jeremy + Mon
James + Ellen + James' sister (Lilian)
Number 10 (and maybe Monika)
John
Linesmann
Edman
Bennycat
Janek
Dannyboy
Sam
Kinson + girl
Paul (maybe)
Daniel (maybe + maybe wife and Stanley)

more wags!

You won't get a much stronger lineup this season, Number 10. Come on, ask Monika to join Ellen and Mon. She'd love it.

This is the biggest social thing for SIHK since the Tram Party and CCF, and probably the last big thing of the season.

Any orders on food and drinks? I need to do some shopping in the coming days.

Don't forget the Modric suits from TopMan

Have bought the food and drinks today. Bought some beers, but not wine yet. Anyone to volunteer buying wines (if you guys drink)?

Hope to see all 'Maybes' become 'Ins'. I will be at an all day seminar tomorrow, so won't be able to reply to messages until I return to office at around 6pm.

Nice one, James. Let us know if we should bring additional beers and meat.

Yeah, beer and meat, that's all a barbecue needs!


Who's coming along earlier than 5pm for a ProEvo tourny?

Me.

I reckon I'll be one of the earliast, as I've nothing to do Saturday really.

I guess around 2-3pm.. if that's ok James?

Right - my Principal has called a 'crisis' meeting this Saturday at 5.00pm about the study tour. I have no choice. As always, the meeting will start late and I will be trying vainly to hide my intense irritation. The earliest I can hope to be there is about 6.30. Jez, as per conversation on Weds I'll split the cost of food and booze with ya. I won't be able to bring anything along as I'll be rushing straight from the meeting. James, you really needn't have bought any booze for us disreputables but that's extremely kind of you to have done so. Also, can you send the address/location in Chinese so I can show it to the taxi driver.

See youse all on Sat.
