Anyone coming to this ?

Last year there were three Maricats including Mick, Phil and me (bringing up the rear). Was interesting given the storms that we had in the previous week.

I'm going to go but I'm not sure about any of the other Mannering Park guys, it is Winter after all and they'll probably be tucked up in front of a nice big fire sipping on their mug of cocoa.

Hi Jimbo I am definitely going to attend Mick is unsure, but at least there will be us 2.

Excellent Phil, looks to be a windy one again (westerly this time so no big southerly swells).

I've hyjacked an MPSC email distribution to see if there are any takers, Darcy's ex-army so he'll be three sheets to the wind by 9:30 after the dawn services so he's excused!
