That is very kind of you CP. I'm sure lots of people will take advantage of your offer.

TRAMCAR RESTAURANT BOOKING

I need to put a deposit down within seven days of booking the tram then pay in full 31 days prior to the date of “travel”.  I will book the restaurant on Friday 11 September, so could all those who want to join us please get your name added to the list by then.   I will need to pay in full by 25 September for our booking on 25 October.  After 11 September I will contact everyone on the list with my bank details so that all money is available when I confirm on 25 September.

Thanks Marina. It sounds like great fun.

Tank you for the kind offer CP, but I'm afraid we won't be coming to Melbourne I'm really super disappointed.
Our DS is just not settling very well with severe colic and reflux, there is no way we can travel such a distance with him at the moment. If he was to have fit of colic at the hotel, then no one would get any sleep! To help with his tummy pains, I'm also milk and soy protein free at the moment, and it is no fun when eating out (a certain chef decided he knew better than me and put sheep yoghurt in my food- poor DS paid for it for about a week!) and soy is hidden in nearly everything!
On the up side the executive suite at the Swanson is now available for anyone else who needs a larger room
I will be looking forward to all the photos during the fest!

Sorry to hear that Jamberie but I completely understand.  I hope the situation turns around soon and your little boy can start enjoying life.

I was even wondering if I was going to make it myself after being sick with the flu & then whooping cough over the past 3 months. Today is the first day I have felt on top of things so I know I can now look forward to this year's FF.

Jamberie that is disappointing but I fully understand. It would be upsetting for you all with the little one not well. You will be there in spirit.

[Bedlam]

Oh that's disappointing Jam but more important for you to be rested and comfortable.  I'm sure there will be more fests.
We will give the tramcar a miss.  My DS is getting married in February and I might try and find a mother of the groom dress while in Melbourne, I can use that time.  Any ideas of places to look from those in the know would be appreciated.  I'm not an easy body to dress so not really looking forward to trying to find something.
Judy, I am pleased to hear you are feeling better at last. 

[judydawn]

Thanks Denise.

[obbie]

Jamberie, I hope your DS gets better, Judy glad you are feeling better at last.

i wish I could come to FF, but looks like Melbourne for us will be end of September

[judydawn]

Thanks Robyn.

[kezza]

Bit slow on the uptake.  Please add me to tramcar lunch.

I'm so sorry Kezza. I should have let you know.

Richard has a few things he wants to do in Melbourne, so we are planning to do our own thing on the Sunday, therefore we won't be able to make the tramcar lunch. Thanks for the great job organising it though Marina.

[Cuilidh]

Thanks Katie, it's a shame you can't make it.  I always knew Sunday would be problematic for us, but for those who want to go on the tramcar restaurant it was the only choice.  Perhaps you and Richard can join us next time??

And where, next year, might be our next Forum Fest?

Sydney? Brisbane? Cairns? Back to Perth? Alice Springs? Kangaroo Island? Norfolk Island?
