Sadly, Bronze.

Sadly x 2 ….as this applies too to the alternate 20th date. It’s going to be a super party in true Mark style from what I’m reading. Will follow all the exploits from afar.

I am living life to the fullest traveling and ticking off a very long bucket list. I know (hopes) he will be cheering me on making full use of my long service leave! Use it or loose it. Life is fragile and limited……

 

[Buzzard]

I can only attend on the Friday as I'll be in BNE thereafter.

 

[Sprucegoose]

Platinum for both

 

[Ade]

I have voted for the 14th Aug, but happy to go w/ the majority.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I see you are still with us our great little friend



I got home tonight and the Ette had decanted a red into the same type decanter Mark brought time and time again to OT for our regular meetups. The memories have been flooding back all night

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Just a quick shake up - I am meeting with OT Mgmt early next week to firm up some plans for Friday August 14.

Anybody intending to attend who are not on ‘Platinum’ list in Post 2 please put your hand up so we can firm up numbers?

I fully understand situations change but if we can get closest approximation ATPIT it would be very helpful

 

[Jacques Vert]

Unfortunately I am bronze for this event.

 

[Doug_Westcott]

Confirming my attendance for the 14th but not now able to attend on the 20th.

 

[TomVexille]

Adding a +1

 

[flyingfan]

I'd like to join too on the 14th with a +1 for my first AFF group meetup if that's alright please?

We don't drink but more than happy to bring a red for others to enjoy if that's the protocol.

I never met penegal but have been around here long enough to know the handle, it's a huge loss.

Very welcome! I'd opine - don't feel obliged to bring a bottle - I have a feeling there will be plenty there!

 

[straitman]

Gold erring to Platinum for 14th and
Bronze for 20th.

Confirming that I am now Platinum for 14th.

 

[I love to travel]

Sorry bronze now - family obligation

Always good to have one teetotaller. It's usually me, but I'll be overseas on both dates. If you want to do my drinking Coke Zero is my usual.

Enjoy. I'm sad to miss this occasion. I am sure it will be a night in AFF/Olive Tree legend.

 

[cwd]

Count me in as Platinum for the 14th. Another one who never met penegal but a very familiar handle here and there were many memories being shared at the LHR lounge crawl. For once I'll be in town.

Reading recent posts, this nine year old thread popped up ...
