    Hobart Wine, Food and Gin tasting trip – March 21 2020

    Yes that sounds correct, dinner extras are easy as long as I book it. Last time we did Frogmore Creek The Lounge and it was very well received. Mrs TassieOptom is considering joining to drive us so looking fuller with maybe 3 spots left on the bus.

    Definitely will add you in. Will limit it to 12 as it will likely be a 12 seater mini type bus. Think there is 8 now so still room for a few more.

    thanks for the hand Steady, I seem to have not got any messages from this thread recently including tagging me in questions so please accept my apologies. Life has been rather hectic and extra duties from new board member and committee member roles have had this little black duck running in...

    Massive dissapointment

    I have flown a few flights in Singapore J and although the seat design is at an angle it was fine for me, 5f11, so not tall. I saw in your original post about the broken ankle, that would definitely tip the scales against you. no way the angled seating will be comfortable for that leg. I would...

    Recent disappointing SYD-SIN J catering experience

    We had MEL-SIN SIN-CDG and CDG-SIN SIN-MEL all in J, mixed aircraft and age, we were pretty impressed but as neither of us are over 6 feet we had plenty of space. there were A380 A350 and older 777-300Er so had a ball experiencing all they had to offer. sat 12D in the mini cabin of the 777...

    Recent disappointing SYD-SIN J catering experience

    @lonewolf i had last row in J on Singapore and definitely had all options available and had book the cook for a couple of legs. In fact as not everyone can fit in sweets they offered me both desert options, which i accepted. So there are some benefits in being last. As an aside when my wife and...

    Full coaches in short supply down here, and much more expensive than Buzz gets them for. Last time we only had 8 people from memory and 10 later for dinner. So a full bus will blow out the expense in a big way. @RooFlyer Do you remember the quote you had for the full bus?

    Hobart Wine, Food and Gin tasting trip – March 21 2020

    Am chatting to a new driver for this tour and will have an estimation of prices soon. Last tour i asked for a lot of input with polls of what everyone wanted etc. This time i will select a variety of wine, food and Gin tastings so there will be a little bit of everything. If there are any "must...

    Not ever been refused a tasting before, but would think if we had too big a bus load they may map not have enough glasses. Will do a ask around and get back to you.

    Will make a max size when we do a count up. Last time went bigger and were left with too many empty seats, hence my slight loss. Pretty sure there were generous people that added a bit to their share at dinner which balanced the books. Will look up the size of the last bus again. You keen to do...

    If we get small numbers will look at hiring a car/people mover and I will drive. If we get slightly more I will get a small mini bus and driver like last time. Think I made a small loss myself last trip, so could be same price or slightly more depending on transport. Most places said they would...

    Hobart Wine, Food and Gin tasting trip – March 21 2020

    We will lock in Saturday the 21st March for a tour. I will have to work on an itinerary which will have to be a work in progress. I am so busy working hard on the final weeks before an international conference I am on committee for. That finishes October 15th so will be somewhat less than 150%...

    Would a Saturday tour be acceptable after the Friday test?

    I lost Golden wing with the collapse of Ansett. RIP, wish it was still here. Also hundreds of thousands of points. Flew 3-4 times a week for many years unfortunately spit between Ansett and Qantas regional. Purchased QC due to the poor earn on their regional arm. Had status with both and still...
