AFF Gathering #9 at CNS on 16 - 18 October

[CMA222]

I was interested when this came up over the weekend. I didn't even know they did surveys until then as I have never had one.

I receive a survey about 85% of the time following my stays. They usually ask if anyone at the location provided an "above and beyond" experience and hence my interest in the name of the lady (Nadine) running the Executive Lounge on the Saturday night.

Are you sitting behind or in front of me?

Given that a man of your stature will be in row 1, we are behind you (6E/F).

 

[samh004]

Got a rough idea of when Sam?

I'm trying to put together a list of all the AFF gatherings, starting with the first one in Melbourne in 2008....It will also be good to know where we have been, when we plan where to next

I have started the poll, feel free to choose a location... a date will then be chosen following that, based on the best time of year for that location... probably in another poll.

I got one also.

I got my email from DT:

I have good thinks to say (didn't have the unfortunate experience of CaviAck).

I am finally home (after some flight delays). Reflecting on the weekend, it was a lot of fun, despite some liver bashing.

Thank you all for coming!

For those of you I didn't get to speak to at length, you will just have to come to the next do to catch up properly

One of the staff at the restaurant collecting empty bottles dropped a few and my ankle caught one. Im surprised it didnt break (the bottle that is). I'm still bruised.

DYAC! ...

Or was the email giving you a heads up to warn you that you had 10,850 resident points?

Or maybe advising you that you wanted 10,850 points?

Looking through my photos and realized there were a number I hadn't posted:

Of course, we find the islands helipad and Straitman gave us a rundown on the lack of safety features:
