Pam and Barry Wright have pleasure in inviting you to a "Theme  Night" at Jimboomba on Saturday evening the 20th July 2002. The theme will be "Old Mates in NGVR/PNGVR" and the format will be a mixed Dining Night as they feel that those attending will enjoy such an atmosphere.

Venue:-    If coming from Brisbane, follow the Mount Lindsay Highway (Beaudesert Road) through Jimboomba, turn left approx 1 km past Jimboomba into MILLSTREAM ROAD, and then after 150 M turn left again into Kurrajong Road.  At the top of the crest approx 1 km along Kurrajong Road, between two 80 km speed signs (one of each side of the road) turn left into a long driveway. The venue will be suitably marked. The site is some 600 in into the property. Look for the signs.  

Facilities:-  Pre-dinner drinks will take place in a suitable annexe. The dinner will take place in a Marquee capable of seating all present in a "U" type dining plan-tables, table cloths, chairs, crockery, cutlery, glasses etc will be provided. 

Shower facilities, with running hot and cold water will be available. Separate ladies and gents conveniences are available. Electric lighting is also available. 

So that those dining can feel free to have a good time, Pam & Barry have made available their back paddock  ( where the theme night is being held)  for camping. There are suitable cooking facilities, fire places, hot water and cooking utensils available. Those staying for Sunday breakfast please bring your own food, drink, cutlery etc, and don't forget a comfortable chair for your camp site.
