Sounds like OzFest #12 is firing on all 8 cylinders there now.

Have a drink for us folks ... sorry personal issues precluded us last minute ... I've emailed the NZ Prime Minister to please clear up the skies a little for the next 2 days.

Another good evening for food and company.

Those of us who will still be in Paihia tomorrow evening do any have suggestions to a place for dinner?

Thanks to Hugh the bus driver for his stellar efforts herding us onto the bus, making sure nobody was left behind and for his impressive cross steam sand tobogganing skills.

Another brilliant night - meals were impressive considering the numbers and the staff did well. Another surprise for Mrs Fredd - I hope someone got a photo of her face.

Ideas for the next ozfest at Gold Coast well under way.

Bed time and see you all tomorrow for hopefully a not so choppy trip

Great to read about this, sounds like you all had a blast!

We were talking to JohnSydney2000 at the Leeds DO he attended about several of us from the BA Board attending the next DO in AUS.

If we could know roughly where it will be and a date so we can begin pricing up flights and organising the time off work required.

OzFest is traditionally on Memorial Day weekend, and the Gold Coast has been suggested for next year.

Suggested? Apparently it's half planned!

Hopefully we can get some sensible fares and join you guys and girls next year!

The sun is out. Looks like a great day to go out on a cruise.
