Sorry, BEYFlyer, will miss you by a few days; I will be in SYD 15-22 October.

Hi,
I noticed there was not a listing in the FT calendar, so I added the link to this thread, for 26 October:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/calen...day=2006-10-26

(PM me if you'd prefer it me removed).
Looking forward to seeing you there

I can't believe what is happening here. BEYFlyer is one of the most interesting people we have on F/T.

Okay, time to get some Sheilas attending this Meet:

BEYFlyer is in his 30's, not married, can afford to fly FC wherever he goes, and his picture can be seen here.

Oz men, once the ladies take a look at his picture, they will be showing up en masse. BEYFlyer himself can only handle one of them (he is not, after all, me) so there will be many of them left drowning their sorrows at the bar.

If that is not enough reason to get you to attend, I don't know what is.

Dov you are a riot... Too funny ...

BiziBB, thanks for sorting that out ^ . Looking forward to our little Sydney DO ...

hi,

i will try to make it to this mini do. my arrival in SYD is on oct. 26 on os1 @ 15:10. then i have to drive to my friends' house and will see how i feel after my first 22 hour airtravel. my friend will be busy this evening since his two sons are part of a musical performance in their school.
so i would be alone on the first evening in down under if i don't join your party

cheers from good old germany

As you can see f0zzyNUE, it is going to be a small gathering of FTers, so it would be great to have you with us. I'll finalize "the plan" next week with the help of BiziBB. Stay tuned...

Looks like I'll be around if its in the evening - whats the plan?

I am in Sydney this week. Is there a time/location for this?

Not looking good for me, the date of the meeting I was going over for still hasn't been decided.

Will finalize details in the next couple of days and get back to you all with an answer... Sorry for the delay but this is the first time I organize something like this and I must thank BiziBB for his help too...

I hope you have a pleasant visit to SYD BEYFlyer. You certainly gave an amazing perspective to us all in recent months as conflict again beset the Middle East.
I would love to show you a little of my town on another visit. Please accept my apologies for my absence on this visit. My diary tells me I shall be in MIA that day.
See if someone can take you to Milson's Point Cityrail station, and then walk back over the Harbour Bridge and into the Rocks/Circular Quay. It gives a nice Harbour orientation early in your visit. Kind Regards. John.

Do you need help selecting a location? It would seem the earlier you select a day and time, the more FT'ers will likely attend.

I believe the thread title gives us the day, and post #1 gives us a general suggested time, and as you have posted, we were advised the venue is being worked on right now.

As someone who lives here, I can advise there are not large numbers of local FT members who attend any event.

Well, not in the past 6 or 7 years they haven't anyway.

Half a dozen is a FT crowd here.

Thank you for your patience and sorry for the delay. I was just sorting out some details with BiziBB.

The plan right now is to head over to Cafe Sydney around 6:45 p.m. for drinks. Then, keeping with Middle Eastern traditions, I would like to invite you to dinner at CS around 7:30/7:45 p.m. You are more than welcome to join us for drinks and/or dinner; up to you really just let me know so I can give them a solid number.

I just sent in a reservation request for a table (8 people given the response so far) but given the time difference, I doubt I'll hear anything today. As soon as I get a confirmation for them, I'll let you know.

I'm heading to Singapore tonight (in about 11 hours, 11 minutes ). Looking forward to meeting up with friends there and having some time off away from "all of this". Also looking forward to meeting up with all of you on the 26th ^ ; I should be in Sydney on the evening of the 25th.

Will be in touch later...

Thanks again BEY, wishing you a trouble-free and relaxing flight(s) to SIN, and on to SYD
