Anyone interested in a meet up / meal / drinks / etc for those in Melbourne or visiting Melbourne for the F1 Grand Prix. I'll be arriving on Wednesday 13th, & departing for SA on Monday 18th. I'm only available in the evenings as I'm flag-marshalling again at the track all day.
Would prefer if a Melbourne resident arranged the meeting point.

Staying with friends (motor sport officials) down at Skye, down Frankston way. But can easily travel anywhere in Melbourne.
May I suggest a pub within 15-20 minutes of the track or near the city, any closer & they are all packed. Maybe Friday night for John's benefit.

Big thanks to John & Al for taking the time out to come down to my flag-point for a chat. Great to put some faces to names. Also managed to catch up with Hitchy & Mteck as well. In all, it was a great weekend, on & off the track.
