Registration Received & Entered!

[kirstyoz]

chicka and myself will be going.

Might spend an extra day or two before/after the weekend to make sure we see everything, as it's somewhere we both haven't been and don't want to miss out on fitting as much in as possible.

We want to check out Toastface Grillah while we're there, even if we go alone... but if I don't mention it, I know I'll forget

I hear Toastface Grillah is awesome lol...
I love Caversham Wildlife Park if you're interested... also in the immediate vacinity is a transport/ tractor/ motor museum and you can have vintage train rides...

I am aiming to have it updated on a weekly basis with any new information I am receiving.

Just did the latest update for you!

Phew! was beginning to think my emails were not being received

:?: Just a note for those interested in doing the Sunday Bus Tour, you may note that when booking tickets this is the only event that it is showing how many seats are left. This is NOT accurate. Once those 12 seats sell out I will call the Coach company and upgrade our ride from a 21 seater to a 33 seat coach and release the tickets for sale, so do not fear that you will miss out (though once they are gone that is it, we are capped for numbers at Fremantle Prison). :?:

Damn, a Conference that I was hoping would be able to piggyback the AFF event has announced their dates - 23rd to 25th November . Will have to rely on clients instead, but still doubt I'll make it for the weekend

[Viridianne]

Friend's wedding coming up on that weekend. Alas I can't attend this gathering Hopefully next year!

 

[Awesom Andy]

Unfortunately, I'll need to drop to bronze for the weekend. Moving country and stuff seem to throw a spanner into my plans, but you'll hopefully see me more often in the future as I'll soon be AU based.

 

[Antoallison]

So sorry that I will miss meeting some AFF members in my home city Perth, as I will be in Canberra that weekend !

Can I recommend a newish basement bar to go to - Halfords - Cathedral Avenue opposite the new Perth Library building.

Enjoy the weekend - the weather Gods will smile on you in Perth in November.
