The joys of organising a function
and things beyond ones control
Just finished a long chat with the QF RGM. The delays in the J Lounge renovation/extension have caused QF some issues. Whilst it was meant to have already been opened, it has now been further delayed until 9 March. This means that the hoardings that are up now, will still be there on 25th. This means a reduced space for all pax (including us) on the day.
Of course they asked whether we could delay until after 9 March so we could have it in the new Lounges and they could organise a private tour of it. The problem our group has is the number of people who have already booked flights and accom and any associated costs. They understand...
But we have got clearance for our AGM to happen from 3pm in the Lounge. I'm now awaiting the RGM and CEM to get back to me regarding the possibility of Tour. Alternate to Tour is being planned (perhaps a chat from Airport Manager on duty).
Thankfully the 2018 AGM is already underway with planning and is landside.
