Angel BRISBASH - The Annual

U-huh, here we are .....again

Another year survived

BRISBASH

Now entering the 4th year (I think!)
For those new to the forums, or not familiar with the Brisbash concept, it’s basically a pissup of like-minded mere mortals with a collective interest in things that fly, doing their level best to stay upright until midnight LOL!!!!
(‘cos most of them are getting a bit grey and wrinkly by now….ooooo-ah, boy am I gonna pay for that one again this year!)

A change to the format;
VENUE The Norman Hotel http://www.normanhotel.com.au/
DATE Saturday December 16th 2006
TIME 16:00 onwards

As you can see, I've included the link to the Norman so you can access all address details, menu choices etc...

Accommodation is all around the Wooloongabba area...home to the famous 'Gabba' Cricket Ground

What is expected of YOU :

Uh - turn up
Um - Buy GoGirl LIIT's
haha! Figure out what a LIIT is

Anyway, as is the usual requirement of 'arranging' such an event, I will, of course, post a phone number a day or 2 before.
Anyone with questions or wanting to privately inform me of there intention to attend, can do so either via private message here on PPRuNe or you can email me at [email protected]

Alternatively, post you details of intent here, and let everyone condemn you for your choices

On a more sincere note;
Brisbash continues to be a great day out and a success because of YOU!
This year is only sllightly different with the venue change.
So....See you there!

Cheers

Oh, God no!!! It's not that time AGAIN is it????

Moderator!!!! I object - false advertising!!!!

That should read:
For those new - suckers - to the forums, it’s basically a pissup of mere mortals - and a few odds and sods - doing their level best to stay upright until midnight - and beyond!

To be forewarned is fore armed - or something:

2005 Brisbash

2004 Brisbash

Inaugural 2003 Brisbash



An animated, lively and intellectual debate on Bernoulli's Principle at last years Brisbash between OzExpat and Disco Stu.

Talking of OzExpat - he's been very quiet of late???

Pseudonymn... no, hon, after last year, WE banned them!

My travel arrangements are already in place for this event. Still trying to find a place to crash out in Brissy but feel confident of a reasonably-priced solution to this temporary problem!

Somebody better remind me to bring the Bash Register though!

Any park bench in the South Brisbane - Wooloogabba area and after living in PNG, you'll feel right at home with the other "Guests"!

In Brisbane I usually stay at The Point, only a short taxi ride from the Norman Hotel. But it isn't cheap - book thru Need-It-Now for the best discounts.

The Brekkie Creek was a pain in the butt last year. Far too many people, no room to move or expand - or hang GG's PPRuNe banner. Hope the new venue is an improvement!

Interesting going over those threads Torres ....


Regarding the Norman Hotel; we were fortunate enough a couple of years ago to have arranged a piss up there with Kaptin M and the like and it's a terrific venue.
The food actually rivals the Breakky Creek - given the guy who owns the Norman used to have the Breakky Creek Hotel!
It's a beer garden atmosphere and plenty of room. Actually, I recall that we 'took over' to nobody's objections - so the place can't be that bad

With any luck, the wx will hold. If not - pah...'sonly water

Now, what is of concern is that NOBODY has enquired re: LIIT's
This could be tragic

OzEx I know when all else fails, I'll be able to lean on you and Stu
(lean being the operative there...don't say I didn't warn you!)

I will also be conducting a 'roll call' on this thread before long. That's also fair warning for those of you that have threatened attendance in years passed You can run....but you can't hide!

Cheers
GG

GG. When I first read your post I accidentally read a similar word that starts with "T" - now why would I think of that where you are concerned???

I steered a wide berth around your "LITT's" reference as I imagine any debate could open a whole new can of worms which may result in me getting banned from this wonderful and informative web site!!

I can certainly do without THAT sort of reminder while I'm back in civilisation Torres! Anyway, accommodation arrangements are now set in airconditioned concrete and brick, most ably supported by broadband internet access! Ahhhh, the delights of civilisation beckon...

While chatting with GoGirl some several hours ago, she told me that she's received PMs from a few folks. She wanted me to say that she's sorry that she hasn't had time to get on here and acknowledge them. So I said that I'd do that and also notify contact mobile phone numbers, which are :-

GoGirl 0439 851 767
OzExpat 0439 753 931

Hope to see you all at the Norman Hotel in Woolloongabba, anytime from 16:00 onwards!

Edit to add... JUZ777... sorry, only just now saw your post. Feel free to just turn up. I'll be the one wearing the PPRuNe cap!
