Please note this is not an AFF event and I am not the organiser or host. It is an event to bring together Frequent Flyers of all forums for some festive fun. I am not affiliated with the organiser but am attending what will be a wonderful event to bring together Australia's Traveling Community*...errrrr....errrr I mean Frequent Flyers. 
The Drinks and Dinner 2013 will be held on Saturday 21st December 2013:
Agenda
1730 - Hilton Meeting Room for Canapes and Drinks
2030 - The Meat and Wine Company Darling Harbour For Dinner
The event is STRICTLY limited to 40 people, deposits are now open at Try Booking.
There will be no "on the night payments", "cash" or "bank deposits" as it gets too crazy to account - sorry
The final cost will be I am hoping around $125 but could vary up to $130 or so. Awaiting conformation of Hilton Costs
A secondary event will also be held - starting at 11am, maybe 2 pick up points, The Hilton (def) at 1045 and SYD T3 DOM (pos) at 1115 to go to a secret location for a secret event which is very secret (until confirmed) - This is STRICTLY limited to 16 people, the details will be released 48 hours before the booking form is opened.
