Thanks for the reminder! Wonder how many have registered?
Posted by David O'Hanlon (Member # 2754) on :
Not registered yet but the accomodation is booked and the tickets paid for. I'll be chipping glass this Sunday.
Posted by Jon Butterworth (Member # 227) on :
Seeya there!!!!
Haven't "officialy" registered. Suppose I should. Talking to Peter and Sue on the phone the other night, so they know I'm going.
Pays to have relatives in the airline business hahahhaa. Niece does all the corporate bookings for Virgin Airlines!
Sue and I are going to make a week of it. We have a time-share unit at the Trinity Links resort. Sorta $200 a night self contained suite. Not costing us a dime
Can't wait! Need the break from work and a shot of "Oz Letterheads" in my veins.
Gail ... just remind Devo that explosives are not allowed on airlines:)

Update on stuff that's happening at the National Oz Letterheads Meet... It's a long way to the Top!
From Suzy's desk...
1/ There will be 60, painted panels of MDF, to decorate with whatever tickles peoples fancy.
2/ We can pick you up from the airport if you need it. Just e-mail or ring through your details. I'll ring & confirm with you the day before you leave wherever.
3/ The RFDS has offered free admission to its Visitors Centre over the Letterheads weekend for any families etc. assosciated with the heads meet.You just have to mention Letterheads when you go to the entrance. Mike Lacey,the base manager,will be dropping in to the meeting to see how the whole thing's going.(He's actually coming back from Holidays early,to come & look!)
4/ Did I mention that Ian Stewart Koster will be doing traditional pinstriping on a 1929 Chrysler? And we may also have a bob cat to pinstripe as well! BRING IT ON I SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5/ Sunday Night:For anyone who is staying around or continuing on from Cairns, there's a great restaurant called Charlies. It's an ALL YOU CAN EAT Hot Food & SEAFOOD smorgasboard.It's very popular with tourists & locals alike. If anyone wants to go, we'd need to book ahead only $18.95 a head if we have a group of 20 or more,if not then we cut the vouchers out of the newspaper & still get the same price!
6/ We've got a local bloke helping with letterheads who's also supplying us with some airbrushes for the raffles...
7/ Sent WIN TV (our local channel 9) details of the meeting so that they can come on the Saturday & do a general interest story to show on the Monday nights local news, last but not least, the local ABC radio have an on- air chat program with one of their favourite women announcers that we are hoping to get on to.
8/ Reminder to get Rego.forms in. * No form = No T-shirt = No belt buckle = No dinners etc!! (We'll be bringing out the cattle prod for anyone that turns up who hasn't sent a rego form!)
thanks Suzy
All together this is shaping up to be a great event!
see ya in Cairns
cheers gial

shameless I know.... but hey we're only a week away
cheers gail
Posted by Jon Butterworth (Member # 227) on :
I still wannna know how devo is going to get his "bungers" up there on the airlines
That offer of sharing our "luxury" digs at the Trinity Links Resort still stands.It's fully self contained and I think it has a spa bath for weary bodies. It does sleep six, but there may be a small surcharge for the extra linen, and I think they need some prior notice of numbers.
Damn! Forgot to phone and book a rental car for the week! Gotta put it on the "must-do-urgent" list (write those on the windscreen of the van in stabillo ... can't miss them ) Time flys when yer busy.
Man I need a break and a shot of "Letterhead Meet" in my veins. Better than ANY drug
