I've been very tame with this one, and have done a straight PER-ADL-PER.

And maybe Mal, maybe

I do have a backup plan though, if people don't end up in ADL then I shall catch up with a mate who lives in a very nice scenic place

Re: AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

QF009 thanks for organising the weekend; especially the saturday dinner with the corporate guests Phil from Velocity and Luisa from American Express.

Great to hear the industry view on a number of issues.

Sorry to Phil for my off topic questions.

It was great to catch up with some people I had previously met but it was also pleasing to see new people that share the same interests.

Yay; good idea, at least some of us don't have to rely on the PM system of the other board to organise get togethers.

For the next AFF meeting; I would again suggest Melbourne; there is nothing wrong with a similar time next year.

Thanks to anat0l for joining me on my Jetstar run to Melbourne.

Of course, you may not want to mix up AFF and FT things in such a way
I support the note above from oz_mark. A few people will be tied up with the FT Meet a Moderator in BNE so why go out in opposition to this Why not work with it

I didn't realise there was FT meet a moderator on the weekend that I planned to be in BNE. More than likely I would not be able to attend AFF Gathers #2 unless it is held in SYD. Looking forward to see if the stars would be aligned for AFF Gathers #3....

Re: AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

So with everything considered, it's now narrowed down to ADL or BNE. Personally would be more inclined to go to ADL as I've never been there, but I'd go with whatever the majority decides.
