MEL dinner Wednesday 2 November, The Olive Tree, time to be decided

[Aeolus]

I'm going to be quite late for this due to work commitments

 

[TomVexille]

We're on our way

 

[TheBOSman]

We're on our way

I'm leaving in about 5-10 minutes.

 

[penegal]

I might drop by, weather permitting, general vagueness, etc.

I am in Melb currently. However I was actually meant to be doing something else, but not sure if the other engagement is still happening.

Alas, my apologies...

I can't make it to this (or my other engagement).

A last minute situation requires me to wait for some documents to be printed, so that I can review and execute them on behalf of the company before I fly out.

 

[Goodonya]

Despite all of AA's best efforts I have successfully made it to Melbourne. Are we looking at 12 people? The only one I cannot find a confirmation either way is for Goodonya but I could easily be missing something in a sleepless haze!

My sincere apology for not replying sooner. Got back into town yesterday, been busy all day trying to catch up at work. Still here and about to head off and in a spot of trouble since I'm running late for dinner with SWMBO. Actually I think I'm in the shizen as the calendar reminder I'm looking at is to remind me of my wedding anniversary TODAY Oops

otherwise was looking forward to meeting you. Have a great night. Watch out for that party girl Aeolus

I think you moved me in the wrong direction...I posted a move from 'maybe' to 'highly unlikely' (and so it turned out).

Hope you all had a good time. Will catch a number of you in PER next week.

 

[TomVexille]

I had a really great night meeting some AFFers that I hadn't met before and catching up with some old friends. Not to mention the good food at OT and the nice wines everyone shared. Another excellent AFF event IMO.

HUGE disappointment that the local party king didn't even make the effort to kick the party off and tried to delegate his duties to a visitor!

I'm pretty sure they do but will do a final count this morning.

Lovely evening, thanks all for coming. Was a great mix of new and old people.

There was a Facebook check in; and that means it happened, am I right.
