Follow up message from former Red Roo:

I need to contact one more person before I can share details with you, and will do my best to call after lunch tomorrow.

Can't wait to release the hounds ( details)

Forgot to cross-post this message from later yesterday afternoon:

I need to contact one more person before I can share details with you, and will do my best to call after lunch tomorrow.

As one can imagine, waiting holding my breath

 

[QF WP]

My QF contact and I had an extensive phone call this afternoon. I am awaiting further information from her, which I expect to receive early next week.

When you speak to her, please be sure to give her & hubby a nudge about the dinner

 

[QF WP]

Sorry to be a pain, but it is getting towards the time I would really like to know if this event is happening (and what is happening). I am about to leave on the trip which will include this event (if it is happening).

Good news @penegal, I can now confirm that you will be able to have dinner with me.

LOL, that's great Jess

As I think I explained I have a clashing event, and my travel will be much more complicated than most attendees due to end-on-end work trips, so I would like to be able to make an informed decision as to which of the clashing events I choose to attend.

I’m the same which is why I haven’t paid for dinner yet.

 

[QF WP]

I contacted my QF contact after getting to the ADL QF Club for my flight home.

She had just finished a meeting to finalize the plans for the weekend and has assured me she will send confirmation through tomorrow so I can release information to all the restless natives.

 

[Storyteller]

It's a knock on effect isn't it? twitch

So... Expect a memo from you tomorrow for dinner

Oi!!
Dinner with Jess AND me?
What extra information is needed? Hand on hip, foot tapping, sin bin for you....

 

[penegal]

Oh, I am in trouble now!!!

Nothing against you two lovely ladies. I am in two minds about the birthday party which is on the same day. I should really go, but I am also getting quite old and wouldn't enjoy it.

If there are cool people AND cool airline events I can better justify blowing off the birthday boy in favour flying to SYD (or staying in SYD).

[penegal]

Regrettably I am going to be a scratching from this, for the aforementioned reasons.

I would like to say a big thank you to @QF WP and our special friend at Qantas (you know who you are...) for the work in the background. I know that you have both put a huge amount of your own personal time into this event (and previous events), and you both receive very little in return. Please know that it is very much appreciated.

What a bother. That is all.
