JohnM, I have sent you a PM regarding your recent wiki edit.

Please clarify, thanks

I have updated your dinner statuses.

Are you intending to bring a +1 that I need to add as well?

 

[JohnM]

Are you intending to bring a +1 that I need to add as well?

Affirmative. But I had previously (some time ago) made a booking and paid for two. All I was trying to do was update the table of attendees as it didn't reflect what I had booked and paid for. I thought the Wiki would allow me to do that.

I'm getting confused .

Why the secrecy? Why cant they be named?

I have lined up an 'appropriate' guest speaker for the Saturday night dinner.

Why the secrecy? Why cant they be named?

Personally, I'd prefer the mystery. But that's just me.

It does, but each line of the table of attendees lists one (1) attendee. When you edited the table, you simply affixed "+1" to your name, which would imply that your +1 was attending, but you were not. You needed to add a whole line below your username, and then update the numbers down the left hand side appropriately. I have now done this for you

I hope that makes sense.

No secrecy. None of you know him so it does not matter.

Also as of tonight I have a prize/gift donated by Virgin Australia.

Friday's Welcome Dinner is now confirmed!

This information has been added to the Wiki at the top of the thread page but for the benefit of those on Mobile Devices: Friday's Welcome Dinner will be held at The Painted Bird (Shop 10, 93-95 William Street, Perth WA 6000). This will be a two course meal (Entree & Main - Menu below) at $55 per person and like other events is a pre-paid activity. As such, bookings are now available at https://www.trybooking.com/LPLE Once you have made your payment please also fill out the Menu Choices form at: https://goo.gl/forms/eEKqm3cdkDGXhl7y1

This venue was shortlisted for our highlight dinner on Saturday. However, the venue is much smaller and we would not have benefited from a private space to use for the evening. Please also note that there may be capacity limits (approx. 30 which should cover most of group). I encourage you to book and pay for your space as soon as possible (unpaid spaces will not be held). Any additional guests once the numbers cap is reached will be at the discretion of the venue.

**Important note for those with genuine special dietary requirements: We have the ability to substitute a dish from the venues main menu should the set menu not cater for your requirements. There is the ability to request this as an option on the Google Form and I will be in touch to discuss.**​

Oh, jsd I have paid for the Rotto tour however it is not reflected in the wiki.

Hi JessicaTam, this has been corrected. You had been marked as 'Paid' in one sheet but not another that samh004 was working off for the wiki.

Also JohnM, I definitely have your payment for yourself and +1 for Saturday's dinner.
