That time of year has swung around once more.

BRISBASH

This is our 3rd year running and already is shaping up to be the biggest
Last year saw the first attendance by a Woomeri, who managed to behave
Said Woomeri has threatened to reappear this year to apologise and make up for good behaviour

This event has been such fun in past years, I can't recommend it more highly, you'll really enjoy yourself, and, let's face it, you can talk aviation until you're blue in the face
Why not make it a date with your 'favouite' PPRuNe adversary and bury the hatchett over a few cold brews

All PPRuNe Brisvegas locals, DON'T MISS THIS!!!
All welcome regardless of aviation background or lack thereof


When : Saturday 18th December 2004

Where : Breakfast Creek Hotel, Breakfast Creek/Hamilton, Brisbane

Time : 1600 onwards

Accomodation : Plenty of it. Kingsford Smith Drive is the major road. This is 5 mins from the city and 5 - 10 from the a/port.
A couple of weeks out from the event would be a good time to have a look at Wotif



Anyone requiring additional information can send me a private message here at PPRuNe or alternatively, an Email


I'd like to lay down the challenge and state that; as yet, we've not had a Kiwi in attendance....... slackers

See you there!

Any overseas visitors silly enough to be in Brisbane on December 18 and need advice on accomodation etc., send PM to myself or GoGirl.

GoGirl

Thank-you Woomera for your support!

OzPax1 we will miss you this year, it just won't be the same....you know, maybe I'll actually be human the next day

Thank-you for 'holding me up'

OzExpat

And maybe this year the said W might stay a bit longer too eh? Feel free to bring Miss W along with you again too mate! I know that we'll all be there to look after her for you!

Mrs. flynverted

Hey GoGirl you can count Mr and Mrs flynverted in.

flynverted has not been to a bash so this will be his first one and an aussie one at that.

OzPax1

Awww...gaaawwwd GG...by the looks of that pic I was well passed the point of caring!

Caring to keep me hands to myself!

OzExpat

Wouldn't be the first time that THAT has happened at a Bash...

Woomera

The Brisbash will be Moderated by PPRuNe's finest Moderator.



Graft and corruption will be accepted.........

Miss W won't be there this year, but I may bring the haus cook to drink you all under the table!

Hi all

Sorry to say I can't be at the BrisBash but I am keen to get suggestions on how to get the Bash Register to y'all in time for your "do".

For those who don't know, the Register is a "lil black book" introduced to the world of PPRuNe bashes by OxExpat during his sojourn in Pomgolia during the summer. The book was handed to me for safe-keeping on his departure so I could take it to Florida for the Orlando bash in Oct (which I did) and thence to the GatBash (this coming Saturday) .... thereafter I am under orders to get it Dunnunda for the BrisBash!!

Any suggestions? The Royal Mail last posting date for Christmas is 6 December which is the first posting day after the GatBash so that is probably not workable so ... any ideas for an alternative method of ensuring said Register is in Brissy in time for your bash?



luv Brocky (in UK)

PilotsPal

If the book is posted on the 6th, I'd say there's more than a fair chance it will be there for the 18th.

OzExpat

What's the problem with mailing it on the 6th Brocky? I'll get you to address it to GoGirl - I'll ask her to PM you with her address.

brockenspectre

Hi all

There is no problem with mailing the book on the 6th - but if Royal Mail says that that is the last date for CHRISTMAS mail and as we want the book in Brissy the week before then I was just being cautious and seeing if there was a sure-fire alternative way to get the book to the BrisBash!! Otherwise we are at the mercy of the snail mail services!!

Dats all!

OzExpat

Okay Brocky, just because I know you so well - on this one occasion only, I'll let you pay for priority delivery!

brockenspectre

Gee thanks O Esteemed OzMaaaaaaaaaaate!! I will take said Register to the Post Office and find out what mailing options are available.. OK?!!

P.S. I know I cannot send priority mail to the USA so ... you sure there is a speedy form of airmail to Oz?

DX Wombat

Brocken, I find if I post things to West Oz before 1600hrs on a Thursday they usually arrive on the following Tuesday. Not posted anything from here to the Banana-bending state but don't think it will be much different - if at all.

The Flying Lip

Just a thought.... I would love to come, but - and this may sound sad - I have a terrible fear of crocodiles....

A mate of mine was attacked by one once. He fought back, but he has never been the same again.

Are there crocs in Brisbane?

OzPax1

The Flying Lip ! Are you trying a wind up!

Nah...no crocs in Brisbane outside the wildlife parks. Too far south for them....JUST! Anyway it's not the crocs that you worry about in Brissey, it's the snakes and spiders! Southeast Queensland is home to the Brown Snake & Red Bellied Black Snake, which after the Austrailian Tiapan are the next most deadly land snakes in the world. And the worst part is the brown hangs around houses a lot as it hunts mice and rats!

Scared you enough yet!!

To get the thread back on track. Brock you could send the register back to Oz via UPS or TNT etc. The cost actually won't be that prohibative for something of the weight and size of the bash registier. At least then you'll have peace of mind that it WILL get there in time!
