What a fabulous day. Started off well in BNE, with great breakfast with Danny1501 and his Priority Pass. Tour of Qantas headquarters and the IOC were outstanding. To see what goes on in the background is amazing. Loved the goody bag, especially as mine had one of the 2 “magic” envelopes in it.
A huge thank you to the staff in the Qantas business lounge who at very short notice did a fabulous job of looking after us so well. Prasiddah was the young guy in the morning who made sure everyone had something to eat and drink, and Rocky on our return who at very short notice produced cheese plates enjoyed by all. Qantas service at its best !

What a fun and fabulous weekend! Was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Special thanks to QF WP for organizing such a fantastic event at QF HQ! Former Red Roo, thanks so much for all of the work you did on your end to pull this off, what an amazing feat. The tour of the IOC was just tops, especially Des, probably my favorite part.

So lovely to meet you and thanks to QF and the IOC for everything they do in the background to make sure we get from A to B (maybe sometimes with a few stops in between).

Thanks to Storyteller for organizing a stellar dinner and making sure my food allergies were not an issue. I definitely didn't leave hungry.

Hope to see everyone again soon. Hopefully our paths cross again sooner rather than later.

Just adding my thanks to QF WP, the excellent Rach and the other QF tour leading staff, QF J lounge staff, and Storyteller for the dinner organising. The QF tour was very interesting, The dinner at Hyatt was great, and the J lounge staff looked after us very well. Kudos all round!

Was also good to meet new and old faces.

Nobody has missed anything. 2018 has been a busy year (particularly for work) and I haven't found the time to organise anything. The beginning on 2019 will start where I ended off this year. Certainly likely to just be a BNE QP meet up, as I doubt at such short notice I could organise anything. 2018 was certainly a pinnacle in my AGM and I'm not sure whether I should rest on my laurels

. Give me a break over Xmas and I'll re-assess things on 3 Jan when I get back to work

QF WP, a nice relaxed meet up in the BNE QP would fit the bill just fine. The bells and whistles of the last 2 or 3 years have been really great, and the work put into organising them very much appreciated, but a laid back get together with other FTers in the QP would be perfectly fine with this poster.
