Great news tonight in that ATPIT we are blessed to be joined by Mark’s mum and dad Karen and David and sister Cathy at OT on Aug 14

So should we each add few dollars to the kitty so they don’t have to pay? I am happy to bring an extra bottle, as well.

[MathNerd]

I'd love to attend this event Tony @Cruiser Elite but I do understand I'm a bit late to the party.
If there's no space then no worries, I fully understand.
But if you can fit one more in, can I have a spot?
Cheers, and here's to @penegal and the indelible effect he's had on all of us (personally or flight-knowledge related).
Can 100% Platinum make the 14th (can't do 20th).

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Still room mate and you are not too late - will add you to list

You are a gentleman and a scholar Tony.

See you, and everyone else, there on the 14th.

Looks good @Cruiser Elite. With quite a few coming I reckon a set menu is the way to go.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Boarding process will follow Southwest Airlines model - First to check-in = First to board = First to select any seat you desire. (Row 1 and Row 2 blocked for Status Pax)

Above table will be updated periodically to reflect payments and additional passengers should there be late bookings.

Note: Tips to be handed to Olive Tree Staff on night of event - pls do not add to dinner payments.

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I have made the $110 transfer - I assume any Tip will be made in cash on the night.

 

[JessicaTam]

I have paid.

 

[RooFlyer]

Ditto. CBA say they might take a day to pass it on.

 

[I love to travel]

Sorry as per post 56 I sadly can no longer attend
