Friday Drink

Cheers -

Last Friday's Annual 4th of July Party was such a hit, that we are returning to the Cavern Club on Friday, 25/7. The original date has changed from 18/7 to 25/7 because I just learned that the band "Wink" will be playing then the hottest dance tunes from the 70's and '80's.

FYI - The Cavern Club is a basement bar modeled after its namesake in Liverpool, one of the bars where the Beatles started. We will have the entire place to ourselves until 10:00 as a PRIVATE EVENT and enjoy the CHEAPEST DRINK SPECIALS in Wellington. However, no worries if you don't drink alcohol for you will have a blast anyway.

We have danced to "Wink" many times and everybody loved them. Even if you don't dance though, you will enjoy listening to "Wink's" high-energy music and watching the others dance.

Newbies, come to me when you arrive so I can greet you and, if you like, introduce you around. BTW, Friday Drinks is not a singles meetup, but founded instead for people to make new friends of both sexes.

Thank you for RSVP'ing ASAP, as the more that do, the more that will do so later.

Best wishes - Michael

Salutations -

First of all, I wish to thank all those that made our Yum Cha yesterday at the Regal Chinese Restaurant so enjoyable. I can't remember a more wonderful Sunday afternoon than being amongst 20 friends, both old and new, while enjoying scrumptious food. Many requested that I repeat it, so why not?

For those that are unfamiliar with a Yum Cha, it is an age-old Chinese custom where family (including extended families like ours) and friends gather at large round tables for brunch. A spinning lazy Susan is in the table's middle where throughout the meal, servers place small plates of delicious food that the table has ordered.

You are welcome to bring wine to make the experience even more fun, but you don't have to. If you don't wish to participate in the Yum Cha meal, you may order off the menu and just pay for your food. Those who participate in the Yum Cha will equally divide its costs at the end, which should be around $20. If you bring wine, you will pay for its corkage, which I believe is around $6.

Please RSVP ASAP as more that do, the more that will do so later.

Best wishes - Michael
