Respect! The "Thank the organisers" thread

[Craig Murray]

Morning all,

Moving forward while looking back I'd like to send out my personal thanks to the crew of this forum and all others tasked with official duties over the weekend for hosting such a wonderful event.

Not much makes me miss Sydney these days but I do miss spending lazy afternoons wandering the fence line looking to take a shot or two with friends. I was only there for the day, but already I'm looking forward to the next time I'm allowed to cross the border back into NSW!

The highlights for me? Well I could list them all......... and I will

• A.A. Aardvark

• The BBQ lunch

• Generous offers of transport for those who didn't have cars

• Seeing ADS-B Radar work, live.

• Heat Haze

• Meeting many people I didn't previously know

• Dinner at the Rowers (yummo!)

• My complimentary AA mag and Calender courtesy of Andrew and his trusty assistant

• Seeing and photographing TWO A380 movements!

• The AFP coming "outside" to visit us, thanks guys.

Thanks again to everyone involved in making the weekend happen, your hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated by all board users. I am already looking forward to the next one.

Congratulations guys!

big thanks to Amsy, Will, Browneye, Morrel and Chopper for their efforts, I ended up with food poisoning on Sunday night and spent most of the evening over a toilet bowl and was unable to attend the DOG dinner.

This was my first spotting weekend and I am already itching to attend the next one. Thank you so much to everyone it was a great weekend, I had a really enjoyable time.

Thanks to everyone who put so much time and effort into the organization of the whole weekend, after seeing what was done and how smoothly it all worked I was left in awe.

One last thanks....



.........to beer, for assisting with the weekends enjoyment and evening entertainment (shot taken at the rowers club of my frosty cold Carlton Draught!)

Look forward to seeing you guys around soon.

On the other hand, the BBQ Chicken is spectacular in Mascot, run by tradional Greek family, awesome stuffing in the chicken and very nice tabouli.
