Ladies and Gentlemen, do I need to put my Mod hat on, to get this back on topic

But, but....it was relevant to the potential choice of venue

 

[hazel]

I am in Melbourne on the 23rd & would like to attend - could only stay for drink/s not dinner.

 

[QF WP]

hazel, perfect timing for you then! I think from the chat earlier tonight, one of those 3 will be the option(s) for drinks and/or dinner. Once it is confirmed, I'll put in post #1.

Have updated the attendees list.

 

[serfty]

There seems to be quite a few newer options nearer south wharf as well.

 

[tuapekastar]

Consider me likely! Confirmation (or otherwise) to follow.

Confirming my attendance! Looking forward to it.

Put me down for a Gold spot. At this time, I am in MEL; but my work is unpredictable and I could be required to fly out at short notice.

It will be good to catch up again. I will be at HSW from mid afternoon if you are around.

Put me down as gold. Would like to come but it threatens to be a crazy week for me.

 

[TomVexille]

Ok definitely in. Upgrade me to Platinum please

Catching up mid afternoon sounds like an excellent plan.

Put me down for Platinum, 99.3% I can make it! Leaving a .7% chance of something happening to me out of my control (or more likely, within it by most standards ). Booked at the Park Hyatt and arriving days in advance so no worries there.

 

[penegal]

QF WP - please list me as attending. I should be back by the Thursday... hopefully

Nice - look forward to finally meeting you

Nice - look forward to finally meeting you

Will be good to meet you as well. I had to double check one planned event did not interfere and it is the night before so this should be doable for me.

 

[AdMEL]

If it's not too late, please put me down as Gold.

It will be a good chance to finally put faces to handles, etc.

Thanks for the heads up QF WP.

QF WP,

IMHO that is a waste of time with this mob :!:

 

[QF WP]

Sorry been on holidays with family and given the former problem with mobile and iPad access (the only two things I bought with me); decided to actually spend time with my family rather than head in my phone.

Decided to check back tonight and found the problem was solved on 11th.

For those affected by the bush fires, we had one that had us in standby to evacuate our beach house. We were in the pool 2 days ago when we heard what sounded like an air raid siren wailing - it was calling the volunteers. Then we got out of the pool and saw the smoke and flames - thankfully the road and wind direction stopped it. Rain over the last 2 nights finally put it out as it jumped the local highway and was burning in the National Park, in not easily accessible countryside.

 

[JessicaTam]

Glad all is well. It is a worrying timne for many in the southern states this week, but hopefully some reprieve is due later today.

 

[Fantic125]

Put me down as Gold.

I'm working in MEL now, but still need to work out the best way to get from Williamstown into the CBD by public transport.
