Depending what activities are selected for the formal do, a pre-do in the Hunter could be fun.

JohnSydney2000 - I am looking forward to seeing you and other old friends again. This will be my 13th Oz Fest! I remember my first introduction, as your guest, to the SYD QF lounge, at Oz Fest #2.

Please list tom911 +2 as Gold for now. Have a booking at the Crowne Plaza for Friday and Saturday night in place but the +2 won't have enough AA miles in their accounts until January to book flights.

And our first introduction in a walk across the Harbour Bridge as the sun rose.

Certainly a memorable view ... surprising the powers that be have not been able to monetize it ...

Please put me down as Platinum.

Not sure how I'll get there. Flights from BNE are ridiculously priced right now especially the return on Sunday afternoon. I may fly down to SYD and either drive up or catch train.

P.S. there is a possibility my wife and daughter will also attend. Too far out to plan that yet.
