I will be at Friday drinks (perhaps arriving a little late - I have a bit of a hike to return to Melbourne).
As previously advised I'm unable to make Saturday dinner .
dot, I know it's past acceptance time for lunch - if it's possible for me to attend I will do Eureka and Saturday lunch. If it's too late to be included (and my fault entirely if it is) I will give Saturday a miss completely.
And I should be in for everything Sunday (definitely the footy).

For security reasons all knives, sharp objects or cutting implements of
any kind and any length whether of metal or other material, knitting
needles and sporting goods must be packed in your checked baggage. They
cannot be carried in your cabin baggage or on your person. If they are,
the articles will be removed and not returned.
An umbrella may be considered dangerous depending on the type. It would
be safer to packer it in your luggage if you have any concerns.
Looks like I'll have to just bring the small foldaway one...
Location: Home, Work, Airport, Here (not in that order!)

I've checked in a golf umbrella before. Was quite funny to see it spinning around the carousel with it's "J" tag. Made it home in one piece, and didn't see any baggage handlers using it for rain protection (it was a bit rainy that afternoon).
As we both arrive in MEL around the same time, let me know if you want to meet up. I'll be catching the Skybus, but as we're in different hotels and with planes possibly late not sure if there's any value there. Let me know. Otherwise I'll catch up with you on Sat.
Havn't decided whether I'm going straight from the airport to my hotel or loitering in the QP for a while and catching up with a few things.
