Sadly I probably still won't make it as I will still be here in VN.
I would be in favour of a simple rotation such as MEL, SYD & BNE (or OOL).

I'd suggest keeping it on the East Coast for the first few years purely because of the numbers. Most of the attendees were flying in from SYD/CBR/MEL and its easier for a same day turnaround between the golden triangle of SYD/BNE/PER

That's a large golden triangle

Having said that, I am happy for a rotation (and maybe look at PER when Virgin moves to its new home!). The time of year was good as well.

I would happily go to either Melbourne or Sydney, time of year could be a problem for me though.

Can we wait until both the AFL and NRL draws for 2013 are released, usually some time in November, then those making road trips can possibly combine it with supporting their favourite team at an away game (like I was planning to do with the Swans v Suns game).

It probably makes sense that it should rotate, though with the QF one, not to mention the first edition of the VA one (what a lovely job they did too), there has been a relationship established with the respective BNE lounge managements.

Now I'm sure we usually can manage to get everyone in 'legally' on most occasions but at the same time it would be nice to have the lounge management across it and on board for those occasions where we cannot. So that would require someone to establish the relationship, something I'm sure some people out there would be happy to do. Just something to consider.

Brisbane 27 July for a few hours would work for me, I am planning to go to Brisbane that weekend but I need a 2nd excuse to get on a plane.

Perth could also work, just not that weekend.

Who wants to start a new thread.

27 July is unlikely for me, Sat Aug 3rd, however, would be perfect for me,,,,

I'm interested. If people are thinking about PER i'd wait a year (or two) til the new terminal is open if it's a lounge thing. Aug 3rd is doable for me.

Maybe set it for OOL as per VH_RMD's vision (now the lounge is open) and set the date (maybe a poll).

27th July is hard for me, Aug 3rd & 24th are out, Aug 10th or 17th better

I recently got some PM's... sounds good but I'm already SC-running on the 27th July from 08:25 until 19:00 so if you're all still there when I land, I'll come by

I'll be there hanging off the bar *cough*



On a more serious note, I am semi flexible this far out, but would prefer if we could look in a date sooner rather than later, so I can plan around this.
