UpInTheAir, what time is your flight? I'll be at BNE ~4pm.

I'm thinking that Monday looks like it's only me - plus it might be hard to find anywhere decent to eat. Perhaps then I'll be able to have an early mark

Re: MaM (Meet a Moderator) Perth 18-23 Jan 2015

I've got a Family Court hearing on the Wednesday - so the real question is: do I go before or after I get taken to the cleaners... :shock:

(seriously, Wednesday is probably better for me)

We'll have to commiserate with you on Wed. Been there, done that (but sounds like I lost a deal less than you)

Re: MaM (Meet a Moderator) Perth 18-23 Jan 2015

It looks like the weight of numbers is leaning towards Tuesday night, rather than Wednesday. I'm good for Tuesday.

Steady, are you good for Tuesday?

No, I fly in Wednesday late afternoon.

I'm on VA arriving at 3:15 local time (I think..)...
Meet at VA lounge BNE?? I'll "buy" you a drink

Damn, didn't check AFF at the airport as my brother checked in at same time so took him under my wing and got him into Lounge. We arrived ~3.45pm so doubt you waited

Lock me in for Wednesday evening, Lindsay. One way or another, a drink will be needed that night!

Good luck jukebox333. I hope you get to keep your jukebox and retain enough for a drink or two.
Sorry I cannot be there as I am in Sydney working.

To paraphrase a famous Scotsman: She may (try and) take 65% of my money, but she'll never take... my music!

Of course you are correct jukebox333 and you can make some more money. Play the right tune on Wednesday and be generous but hold onto the music.

For the Wednesday night group, the venue is Lalla Rookh. I'll make a table reservation for about 1830 just to be sure of getting one, but suggest we meet in the front garden any time from 1730.

 

[wandering_fred]

alas the four plus hour drive each way is not possible this week.
Perhaps next time.

Happy wandering

Fred

The tropical low over Broome is threatening my attendance

 

[QF WP]

Nooooo. Thanks JohnM for the booking - I told Perth based colleagues I was going there and got a couple of eyebrow raises.

Suppose that we (clazman, vitagen and Bundy Bear) had better decide on a venue for tomorrow night

 

[QF WP]

I'll be coming from the Convention Centre for tonight's event - finishes at 5:15pm. Vitagen, I presume you are coming straight from work. Bundy Bear will be coming via train from Freo. Clazman is coming from Applecross?

I have 5 free drink vouchers from Hilton that I have yet to use (Diamond amenity). Who wants to meet for a pre-dinner drink. They are for 2 people, so 10 drinks.

Then we can adjourn to whatever venue we choose.
