AFF Gathering #10 in PER on 11 - 13 November 2016

[tuapekastar]

I'm now booked for this.

Arrive in PER on QF475 at 12:10 on Fri 11 Nov, staying at Hilton 11/12/13, then staying on another week or so with friends.

Being over in PER for mid-week to Friday client meetings isn't a problem, but adding the two weekend days is proving challenging and may cause me to cancel. Sometimes having children (with sporting events on weekends) is more than for which we we signed up...

Well I hope you can make it QF WP!

My trip I planned to Australia in November, which met these dates has now been cancelled by me. I may still attended as these flight sales are common, but less likely now.

Hmmmm I do live in Perth...

Not sure if I'll be home for those dates but if I do I'll let someone (likely penegal) know and I'll see what I can still tag along to.

I'm not fussed about Rotto or anything like that but I wouldn't mind attending a dinner if I'm in town

jozdemir, would be great if you could make it, but please let someone reliable know.

Having attended many previous events, jsd (Private Message) is ready to take the lead and be the primary organiser for AFF Gathering #10: PER. He has already started getting quotes for activities, and hopes to post an activity list along with signup sheet soon.

This post does not imply other members should feel left out of the decision making process, but at some stage, the job has to be done and as jsd was ready to step up, I decided he was ready. AFF has always been an inclusive community, as can be seen by the 200+ posts on this topic already. We have under 6 months till the event now, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing everyone again, as well as exploring what Perth has to offer.

So, if you previously expressed an interest in being part of the organising committee, now would be a great time to work out some of the finer details of the weekend, such as some amazing dining options, to make this event truly one of a kind.

Hi everyone, please see the first posts of the thread for an interim schedule and the registration form for AFF10. Online bookings for some events are already available and as the details of the other activities are finalised they will too become open for booking.

VERY disappointed that most of the events are already closed 16 minutes after the above was posted.

Closed? I'm not sure I follow.

Edit: Closed events are ones that haven't been released yet! They're not open as a venue/price hasn't been worked out.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Would be disappointed if I missed out on anything.

As would I, save for some SC runs I have never visited PER. Never left the airport.

I have filled out the google docs form. May I suggest that there be a 'I don't know yet' option for the various events? I have put yes to most things, but to be honest won't know/decide until closer to the date.

Please take "Bindibuys+1" (line 16) off the list, he will not be able to make it. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. Have added a 'Not Sure' option to the form.

Was already planning to ask for the time off at work this week, wanted to wait until I had earned enough. Hopefully I get good news this week!

Hopefully good news. And of course I will be interested to see how convoluted you can make the routing to PER.

I'm making multiple stops in the days and weeks before, so if I posted all of it, it would look quite convoluted . Let's just say I'm visiting the final two Australian states I haven't been to yet . Sadly, the return is absurdly direct and totally sensible, dang award tickets!
