Cairns ATC Xmas Party

[Albizia]

For all those in Cairns or that can make it here, the Annual ATC Xmas Party will be held on the 30th November, from 1730 at the North Queensland Aero Club.

As per previous years we will be providing beer (six kegs), wine and soft drinks.

The NQAC will be running a sausage sizzle as a fund raiser, and we will be running raffles to help fund the night, so please bring some gold coins to give us!!

Hope to see you all there!

[Binoculars]

Hmm, wouldn't mind getting there for that one. :hmm:

[Sarcs]

"Six kegs" is it byo tent or byo bus and bus driver?? Sounds good though, will pass the word at the base.

cheers Sarcs

ps that's if anyone is left by then!!!!

If this year's Cairns ATC Party is anything like previous ATC parties, I urge caution - and a taxi home!!

Ditto the Cairns Firies brain cell carnage events!

:} :} :}

[SM4 Pirate]

It SHOULD be even better this year with the LOTTO WIN and all.

I could say bug off green eye, but please; come and join us. It is a wonderful bash. No where else 'cept Moreton Bay or DRW in the early daze.

[Torres]

Cairns has been rather quiet since the days of The Panel, the Fox & Firkin, Jazzi etc! :E

Reddo. How's Junior these days?

[Albizia]

Folks, one week to go!

The kegs are the cool room at the Red Hat.

The Aero Club will have roast meat rolls for sale.

The bubbly is on ice.

Hope to see you all there.

[Capt Fathom]

I gather the Notam for reduced ATC services on Dec 1st will be published soon....:uhoh:

Then again, who's going to be flying? :E

[Capt Claret]

Bugga, roster's out and 0400 rise for work Sat! :{

[AQIS Boigu]

What a bummer...Skytrans/Airlines PNG Xmas party is on the same day...I think someone didn't check the sequence...:ugh:

[Albizia]

Well at least Skytrans are next door, we can all blend in to one big, happy, family.

For those that haven't heard, the General Manager of ATC, Ken McLean, and the manager from BN responsible for CS will be both be attending the evening.

Perfect opportunity to hear it from the horse's mouth as to what is happening, and why!

Blimey !!! Business must really have improved since I started it 14 years ago if chocolate sales from the tower fridge can support a free for all Chrissie party.

Sorry I can't make it - Have a Merry One !!

is there a dress code? :}

[Capt Fathom]

is there a dress code?

Dresses will be tolerated....if you must :}

[insertnamehere]

i have the perfect attire..... :E

[frangatang]

Any idea where Dave Tempest (ATC) ended up after cairns? Mind you it was a while ago and Bush pilots had got rid of the DC3s...1985/86! good friday bashes in the aero club after landing the Raw Prawn(commander840).

[2 Dogs]

Dave spent a bit of time in Rocky after Cairns and then I think he went to Brisbane.

Dress code ???
When I worked in Cairns Tower the work dress was often footy shorts, t-shirt and thongs so if the party is "casual" I guess it will be "jockstrap and thongs" :)

[Albizia]

Thanks to everyone who came along and made the night a great sucess!

See you all next year.

[tail wheel]

Excellent event I hear! :ok:

[insertnamehere]

[Wing Root]

[splinter11]

[tail wheel]

To give you three days to recover before Friday night and the weekend? :E

[Bullethead]

It’s Friday 3/12 @ the Aero Club, starting around 5.00pm

Regards,
BH.
