We have arrived after a fabulous flight.

We have arrived after a fabulous flight.

Apart from the fact that they seem to have run out of champagne - even after dipping into the stocks for the return.

Phase 5 - pack bag of bad weather and send back east

Sounds awfully familiar...

I'll have to figure out what steps I had to take...

But I can say surely:

Final step: Arrive and checked in at the Hilton!

Currently stuck in traffic as there has been a major accident just out from Perth Airport.
Getting nowhere fast!

 

[Glider_]

At the moment Perth is lightly represented by Perth people this weekend.

If anyone can't make it to Saturday's dinner I'd be delighted to be a local ring-in

Have you spoken to jsd:?:

Last I knew there was still a spot or two available. I'll point him at your post when I see him shortly.

Finished welcome drinks and onto The Painted Bird for dinner.

 

[AnnaB]

Tried my best to make the pre-dinner drinks, but due to an emergency visit to the vet with the dog, I was not back home until 6pm
Guess I will have to aim for a mini-holiday for the next one...

Hope you all are having a great time

Thanks to everyone who attended the Welcome Drinks and Dinner tonight, It was an enjoyable start to the weekend and great to see so many faces again and meet some members who I had previously not met for the first time.

Pleasantries aside, for everyone who is attending the Rottnest Island Tour tomorrow. This is quite an early start for you all. Please assemble in the foyer of the Parmelia Hilton by 7:45am and meet with your Hotel Captain JessicaTam who will lead the way to Barrack Street Jetty in time for our ferry departure to Rottnest.

If choosing to make your own arrangements to Barrack Street, please be at the Pier NO LATER THAN 8:10AM in preparation for boarding. there will be no compensation provided for anyone who fails to check-in on time.

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. For those not coming over to Rottnest for the day. the next event on the Calendar is our Highlight Dinner to be held at the Grand Bar and Bistro (150 St Georges Terrace) at 8pm upstairs in the restaurant. If you need a reminder of your dinner order for the evening, please see the Wiki at the top of the thread which contains all the information you need.

**Saturday's Highlight Dinner is now fully booked.**

Please be advised that after taking on 7 last minute attendees, Saturday's Dinner has gone to 'sold out' status and I am unfortunately now in a position where I cannot accept more bookings due to seating constraints.

Thanks for your understanding.
