I'm in (and for a ride to/from tour as well please if space available).
I wouldn't have said the BC would necessarily be ruled out by timings but agree with penegal that it just hasn't been great in recent years (whether the standard has dropped or familiarity has bred contempt, or both, I'm not sure).
Also, it has been disappointing turning up to the QP to the sumptuous spread that QF has put on for us in recent years as full (food wise
) as a pommie complaint box and barely touching it so was only going to have a snack/entree at the BC anyway.

Please add me to the Gold list and for a ride to/from the tour please if my number is under 26. (WP).
Okay, just got off the phone from my QF contact. Whilst final details are being ironed out with QF Engineering, <snip>
4. Those who aren't in either list and now decide to confirm attendance - if your number on the list is 25 or under, you're in. If you are number 26 or above, you are the waitlist (hoping others will pull out) <snip>
So who's in...and who's out (in the words of Project Runway)...

QF WP I'm a Gold dependent on what the start and end times are. I note you have 3pm (officially) listed for the start time however given the hangar tour is now on has this/will this change? I'd love to do the hangar tour as well so I realise this will extend the hours from what it was originally intended to be.
Can guest 1 into the lounge.

Thanks for the early heads up QF WP (post #15)- I had already booked to return Sunday evening so have plenty of time.
Looking forward to it.

I suspect the "AGM" part of the day will start once we are done with the hangar tour and back at the airport.

Okay, sorry these posts slipped through my net - posts #1 and 2 now updated.
Just booked flights. Staying at Hilton BNE on Saturday as I tend to at these things. Get in at 1250 local time so Breakfast Creek Lunch might be very iffy.
Get into BNE on QF1546 (arr. 1250) on Satuday, leaving BNE on QF1549 (dep. 1410) on Sunday.
I should be able to guest 2 (1 spot is already taken per discussions in this thread) upon arrival into BNE. Might be useful for those arriving at an hour that is just late enough to not bother with lunch but sufficiently early to not hang around the terminal.

...You're in the Top 25 (have listed you as Silver), unless the times don't suit. But please let me know with plenty of time. If I haven't confirmation by midnight 14 February, then your place will be forfeited and given to the next number in the Silver queue. There is also interest from outside FT, but this tour is only for FT'ers at present. We can arrange another Tour for them

JohnSydney2000 contacted me by PM in the middle of an IST/LHR/ORD trip [from the BA Lounge in T3 no less), so I have him down as a Silver, pending confirmation he'll actually be in Australia (let along able to come to BNE).
Storyteller sadly PM'ed me to say she is a Bronze
