Cripes have you only just come to?

Yeah sorry, should have put a disclaimer on the long island ice tea's "Caution may impede your judgment - do not under any circumstances operate any machinery toasters and kitchen fans are included"

Cheers Mike for putting up with us! You are a champ!

Hey all,

Cocktail night is shaping up to be brilliant, there is a wide variety of cocktails and solid number of people it will be absolutely awesome. If you are coming you should have probably been in contact with me by now or had an email from me. If there are any queries please feel free to send me an email. Also everyone is equally contributing buying their share of ingredients and that is great. But freeloaders will not be treated kindly and will be turned away at the door. So don't forget your ingredient obligations!

It will be awesome - I will see you there!

Craig

And I think as this is a cocktail party cocktail dresses are a must (for girls and boys!) and I will be bringing extras for all of you who don't have one or conviently forget! And as we are wearing dresses we must dance, so bring your dancing music :)

Just to provide a few more details on this monumental event:

There will be a sign up sheet at the meeting tonight or you can email me later in the week. Once we have a list of people I will email out further details
People will be allocated ingredients but this will equate to a value of $10 - $15. When entering the event all ingredients go on the table.
The Mill has some pretty good specials on this week
Some of us will probably rally around to get some pizza / for dinner around 6:30 anyone is welcome to join.

Some of the suggestions I have had for cocktails so far are

Martini’s
Black Russian
Mojito's
Long island ice tea

So keep the ideas flowing and we will narrow them down to the most workable.

Cocktail night this friday!!

Here is a great event for you... Some of you may remember those famous cocktail nights that we have had in the past. Well guess what! Here is another cocktail night that you may or may not be able to remember.

So what do you need to know?

This Friday at a Kelburn Venue Mikes place
There will be Cocktails
It will be a very good time

How does it work?

Previously this monumental event has worked by everyone putting in some cash and a couple of us going out and purchasing a monumental amount of cocktail ingredients. This has always required a large truck and a whole load of debt collecting.

So this time it will work this time by the following process:

Decide on the theme (tropical / fruity, milky, something else)
I will take a sign up sheet or list of people
Allocate a purchase to people (for example person A B C get a bottle of vodka. Person D E F get Midori Person G didn’t get anything! They are very bad and will have to sit in the corner)
Bring along your ingredient(s)
Let the cocktail making begin

What I need from people now!

Let me know if you are coming (gather up all your friends)
Peoples ideas on what cocktails we want to make
Any other ideas or themes for the evening

It will be a super fun night, it always is. So give up all you other plans for this and greatness will prevail

Craig
