AFF Gathering #8 at MEL on 24 - 26 October

[Goodonya]

And thus, the incorrigible has dispersed, finally

So penegal has continued drinking on his own now? Just catching up with the carryings on. Sounds like a lot of fun is being had. Wish I was there. Should be a great Yum Cha later this morning.

In the lounge now awaiting my flight back home. I had a blast, caught up with a few people, and met quite a few more. Special thank to Sam and Penegal for organising a well-run event; I know from experience this is not an easy task!

Too numerous to name here, but I enjoyed company of all of you and I look forward to the next Gathering.

Safe travels,
Hossein

Great to catch up with old friends and meet new friends.

Thanks to samh004 and penegal for their hard work organising.

Thanks to the kind AFFer for the lift to/from dinner.

The alcoholic have relocated...

Just as well I booked in to play golf with the members at Gisborne Golf Club otherwise I could have been left waiting on the first tee at 10:00am at Melbourne Airport golf club.

QF WP I may catch up with you at the airport this afternoon. VA Fly ahead doesn't look too good for me as all flights appear to be full.

Thanks everyone. We had a wonderful time. It was great putting faces to names finally.

Thanks to Jimmy124 for introducing me to many members.

As AFF 8 draws to a close,
After many drinks laughs and a propose,
its been a blast to meet so many people with a love we all share,
That is to those frequent flyer points flying up there,
So thanks to Penegal & Samh 004,
For all the organisation you couldn't ask for more,
To all the people that partied hard on Saturday night,
Sunday morning was an awful fright,
My birthday gift from Red Roo,
I am sending a huge thank you,
So closing these few last lines,
Bring on AFF number 9.
