A couple of unknowns:
Itsalongwaydown - TBA (MEL or SYD).
swissmich - You've arrived in MEL (welcome!), are you going to try and attend BNE or SYD - maybe wait for MEL to be organised??
Anybody that I have missed (or not put in their status or flight details) please advise to this thread and I'll update the list.
Finally, for those who are NB, PS or Gold (or any other airline FF for that matter!!) and not flying on that day - don't worry!! There are enough Plats at each meeting to get everybody in (as we can take 2 guests in each and none of us have to be flying). In fact in Sydney, Plats could take in 4 guests - two per entrance. so we can really make this quite a party...
For anybody going to drop in (if you haven't got auto entry from a flight that day or Plat), make sure you page "
Rod Speed" or "
Dave Noble" to make sure we come and get you
