Ok Cove is coming from Perth. I put down 8D which is better than where AA put me after cancelling a flight. No Mrscove as there is a footy game for her to attend. I paid.

AFL hasn’t scheduled the games for that weekend , Fremantle play Adelaide and Brisbane play Gold Coast
I still need to book a flight

Accommodation is hovering a below normal for a winter's Friday in Melbourne. Swans are the only non Vic. team plating in Melbourne that weekend. Once AFL fixture is confirmed prices could jump a bit - or drop further ...

Seat reassignment to 9C - awaiting clearance of funds - Sandgropers are a questionable mob

I hadn’t realised a Boeing 737 goes back to row 33 for American Air but they got me into row 31 middle seat.
Just remember Sandgropers are keeping the Australian ship afloat @Cruiser Elite.

I'd like to inform that I'll be bringing a +1 this evening.

I will be meeting with OT in next couple days to plan table location within the restaurant - remember we are only occupying a certain section and not entire restaurant - so if any late additions / deletions please let me know ASAP as I have promised Olive Tree accurate attendance numbers by no later than 07/08/2026.

Don't forget No Pay / No Play

Is this dinner only for folks who knew this Penegal? I don’t know if I ever met him but I’m hoping to immerse myself in the group and its cohort a bit more so I’m trying to get along to whatever I can.
