It was great fun.  Thanks to Dee and Judith for organising it.  :)

I've deliberately  ;D made my photos blurry to protect our identities.  PM me if you would like to see them.

cheers,

Yes, they had a loo.  'T'was a tad dark in there, though.  They also had what seemed a more-than-lifesize painting of a nekkid lady, high on the wall ... in the Ladies' Lounge.  Go figure  :-\

'T'was a good place to meet, though; I walked up from Circular Quay, rather than catch buses or taxis ... not a long walk, but enough to create an appetite - and the Caesar salad was yummy!
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson

What fun, what larks!  It was a really great day on all counts.  Thanks to those who came and thanks Wiggy and Cando for your thoughts!  Huge thanks to Dee for thinking of it and doing the major organising.

Thought you might like to see what I wrote in an email to the Hotel who had asked for feedback:
Thank you so much for the use of the gorgeous Ladies' Parlor, yesterday.  Our group had a lovely day and the Parlor was perfect for our meeting.  Everyone enjoyed the food, almost too well some of us LOL.  Your staff are so lovely - every single one, from the person I phoned to book to the friendly, happy bar staff on yesterday made our day extra special.  The bar staff yesterday went out of their way to look after us - THANK YOU.
