Just in from Murray's Brewery. I lie, I received this on Monday. Merry Xmas everyone

 Hi Nick,

Thanks for your inquiry re holding a NSW Corvette Club meeting at Murray’s Brewery and Port Stephens Winery for approx. 50-60 guests on 17 February.

We will have a band playing on that day from midday.

We’d be pleased to offer your group:

•   Complimentary beer and wine tasting
•   Complimentary brewery tour (to be taken at 2pm on the day of your visit)
•   Complimentary use of our new bocce court

Kind Regards, Kristin

A little feed back on this would be great folks, do we accept Kristin's offer and have lunch around 12:30  so we have the tour or do we just have lunch???

[VETTENUT]

Those of us who are staying Sunday night and not in a hurry to return to Sydney after lunch might want to do the brewery tour. I know we would like to do the tour.

[jagsy]

I'll be letting the boss drive me home :)

[72vet]

Just a for the weekend away folks, 18 of the 20 reserved rooms have been taken. 

[86er]

Sounds like a plan Nick

[72vet]

Another ,  All reserved rooms have been taken folks  , you can still make a booking for the weekend as there are rooms available.

I’ve contacted Sienna’s restaurant and they’re happy to accommodate us for lunch on the Saturday, We all know what happens on an empty fuel tank. 

Looking forward to this one.
