I've received word from AFF member AIRwin, who isn't an FT member, that he would like to attend and is VA Gold.

Updated to here. Missed Annette in my travels in both of the last two weeks - she had to take holidays she's been working too much

The current "Happy Hour" sales covers the AGM dates for MEL-BNE and ROK-BNE, but curiously not SYD-BNE.

* bump **

I'll probably miss Annette again on my travels Friday & Sunday, but I'll let her know of numbers by email.

There are plenty of attendees who need to give me their flight details.

I may have got a leave pass for lunch, but that will require me leaving The Lounge at 6pm sharp so my wife can attend something that night.

Nope, Thanks for volunteering

I would offer, but I need to liaise with samh004 and bass_ke to work out transport (by land).

If we travel by train there is some merit to touching off in the city with the Go Card before continuing to the airport, so I am a maybe for lunch at this juncture.

OK - I have rented a vehicle at my good corporate rate - it's an "FCAR" so should fit 4 additional PAX.

I can fit this mob in:
...
Saturday 23rd
Arr 10:05 - JQ560 MEL/BNE JessicaTam
Arr 10:30 - VA925 SYD/BNE gwilli1
Arr 11:10 - VA319 MEL/BNE serfty, perthite
Arr 11:35 - QF516 SYD/BNE Kiwia1
...
I can do two trips if there are any more needing a lift and the lunch venue is close enough.

If you are interested in lunch please post here ... and does anyone have a suggestion different to the Breakfast Creek? If so then suggest soon.

I note there is a Bronco's game at Lang Park at 5:30pm that evening and the Bears Lions are playing the Dockers at 1pm Sunday (Bundy?).

Now I am flying into OOL on VA755 same as penegal.

I will be staying in Brisbane Saturday night and I have plans to attend the Brisbane Lions v Fremantle game and I am on the VA flight back to Perth the later 6:30pm flight which will have the Fremantle players on it. The flight usually departs at 5:30pm with the 737.

The samh004 taxi will be quite crowded

I guess that means he isn't drinking?
