We hope this finds you well and looking forward to 2015!

We wanted to send out a BIG:

*** CALL OUT ***

TO ALL OUR OLD HKS FRIENDS TO SAY:

"We are having a Reunion!"

Yes, we are! It's time ... they are coming far and wide, starting point London, some other surprise overseas visitors and nationwide Australia.

The date(s) will be either 16th or 17th March 2015.

The venue will be somewhere central in Sydney City that we can mix and mingle and catch up on the good old Hyatt days and of course what everyone has been doing since then.

So watch this space for more details coming soon. Set aside those dates and spread the word to other ex HKS peeps that would like to come along.

A good start would be to see a show of LIKES so we can gauge how big this may get!

Without further ado ... bring on the good times, the old times, and let's get this party started.

Update on our old stomping ground - times-a-changing ...

Pedestrian traffic is down 84 per cent compared with 2012 levels, according to a City of Sydney submission to a NSW Legislative Assembly inquiry into alcohol violence. Its night economy is struggling and its day economy is yet to attract major trade.
