MEL 380 Demise Wake [Saturday March 9]

[AIRwin]

Sorry a bit unrelated, but is that EK A380 that was sitting on the edge of MEL airport towards the end of last year still there... I'm based in SYD but was just surprised to see it still there after two trips transiting through MEL. Wonder if anyone else noticed it.

It's BA not EK:
Answered - BA A380 parked at MEL (northern end) for some time? [No - a different EK daily]

Well that makes it easier - I want to set in stone Saturday March 9 as the date for this soirée - 19:30 at Olive Tree - normal attendance criteria applies:
1. No Hawks supporters
2. BYO Red Wine - (minimum standard set by Hughesy last shindig)
3. No QF WPs unless said QF WP has posted at least 2 ‘fake news’ threads about how good QF F is in last 12 mths
4. As per standard AFF DTKWIAs policy no screaming babies or kids (Lucky you just sneak in huh BC)
5. Attendees arriving post 19:45 get to pick up entire bill for evening
6. Attendance confirmation by 8pm Thursday March 7.

How remiss of me - I forgot No. 7

7. Absolutely positively unequivocally entry will be prohibited to any ‘Sooky Sooky La La’s’ whingeing about a tiny little walk through DF MEL

Lucky then I'll be somewhere South of Hawaii about then ... aside from being a HAWKS supporter ...

Funny that

We're a happy team at Hawt... Ooops!

I should be good for this.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Just a little update - all plans still fully entrenched for next Sat nt - still plenty room if anybody wants to join us - with an ounce of luck we will have both qaz and Tom from SV join us - so looking forward to this.

Good morning. I am sure this will be a dinner to remember. At this stage I must make myself bronze. However if I can attend I know I have till the coming Thursday to let Cruiser know.

 

[potm]

I am tentatively in for this. Trains aren't running on that day so hopefully I can find a bus or a tram instead.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I’ll try to attend any night as I’m based in Melb!

I guess we best try to formalise list of attendees - am I correct here?

Sorry for the noob question mate - being my first AFF gathering are there any 'rules' (in the loose sense of the word) - do we bring a bottle of wine/champagne/etc and cash to cover our meals etc?
Looking forward to meeting everyone

Yep bring Champs if you want - quality red to share is norm - yes bring cash to cover your share - standard protocol is that Orginiser pays bill with CC to scoop up a few points and attendees ante up their share in cash
