Greetings -

The Friday Drinks Group invites you to join them on Friday, 15/3, at its private, Pre-St. Paddy's Day Extravaganza at the Cavern Club Bar. For the last 6 years, Friday Drinks has met every Friday at a different bar and presently has nearly 4,000 members. Almost all of its members are over 30.

The Cavern Club is a basement bar modeled after the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles first started in the UK. It reminds me of similar bars in New York and London. We will have the entire bar as a private event from 7:30 to 10:00, in addition to the cheapest specials on wine, beer, and house liquor in Wellington. At 10:00, the public will join us, and we can dance for free to one of the best danceable rock bands in town.

RSVP's are essential, as the Cavern Club is small and we can't exceed its maximum capacity. To RSVP, please click

www.meetup.com...

Then become a member (for free), go to its events section, choose the Pre-St. Paddy's Extravaganza, and RSVP. Thank you.

Best wishes - Michael
