[whughes3]

Put me down as "near definite": I actually fly in from o/s that morning, but should be reasonably compos mentis by the evening...

 

[TheBOSman]

If it's not too late mr whole lotta moxie and myself would like to attend

You're welcome to come, definitely not too late!

I'll post the next attendee update on Friday, before I have to leave for YUL for a couple of days.

Do you want me to make the booking today, or should I wait till Friday with the new list?

Let's go with Friday, if that is alright with you. I will put it together on Thursday local time here, so it should show up here during the day on Friday your local time.

Unable to attend due to working that evening.

 

[JessicaTam]

I think I can upgrade from hopeful to likely.

Updated through post number 47. Turnout is looking great . Our current total is 10, so perhaps blackcat20 we can start at 12 for a reservation, as I'm thinking we may get a few late joiners.

Also, to note, I've decided to start it for 7PM, since it is a work night. If later works better, please respond! I don't have work the next morning and can stay very late . Though, I do have a flight on DeathStar the following day :shock:, perhaps we can discuss which is actually worse.

Please advise if any of the following are inaccurate:

Definite:

Glad to hear you can all make it! whughes3, you can do it. I have to fly in from LOTFAP on Tuesday morning, double connection with terminal changes at each after I have to drive 80 miles to the airport :shock:.

Bugger .

I've had to book for 10 as their (QF) website bookings dont allow for more than that but can call and update numbers closer to. I also put a note in the booking that there may be a few extras.

I think I'm in Bali that day. (If I get off the ship) :shock:

I shall also be in Bali. Definitely not on a ship though, someone in the Ubud area.
Disappointed I can't make the dinner.

 

[JessicaTam]

I think I can upgrade from hopeful to likely.

And now I have to downgrade to unlikely.

Ironically I now have to be in Melbourne for work, but that means I can't make the dinner.

Penegal, do you mind if we share the 'copper' label? :shock:

Sure, haha.

I am definitely in Melbourne the day before this event for a horse race, but most probably will be in Sydney 2-4 Nov.

 

[Aeolus]

Trying to coincide a work trip with this. Will advise next week. Assume BYO-ing since it's Olive Tree?

Yes BYO for sure.

Bugger! At least there will be Perth .

Yes BYO for sure.

I'm still trying to think of a suitable one, not even 100% if I want to bring down from the US. Might just buy a red after I arrive at MEL so I don't have to worry as much about packing it securely (two AA flights tossing it around sounds like a recipe for disaster ).

[tuapekastar]

I'm looking unlikely for this.

If anything changes last minute I'll advise (and aware that it may be too late then to alter any bookings - c'est la vie if so).

We should be fine if you find out you can come last minute! All are welcome .
