We'll be a little late for Friday drinks as our flight arrives at 6.30.

No worries.

Thanks for that. Since I'm not on the wine tour I may stick my nose in.

Like that old saying... does not matter where you get your appetite, so long as you eat at home..
Does not matter where you get your travel ideas from.....

Indeed. Use ‘em then lose ‘em.

Wonderful day here in Adelaide today.

 

[drron]

Get ready we are likely to bring the rain with us.

 

[VPS]

Boy do we need rain - bring all you like

 

[support]

ATTN: We will have a speaker for the Saturday dinner, but we are short of a projector and/or screen to really make the presentation pop. If anyone in Adelaide has one and can loan it to us for the evening that would be much appreciated.

For those of you who wish to see an actual game at Adelaide Oval, sadly the Sheffield Shield game ends Friday.

SA v NSW Play starts at 10.30 am and scheduled to finish at 5.30ish

So if you are around town earlier on Friday, (which I notice a few are) then it’s FREE Entry too
Sheffield Shield | 16-19 October | SACA South Australian Cricket Association

Happy to see if I can wrangle a guest or two into the members since I notice upto 5 guests allowed

 

[Bundy Bear]

I have booked the city highlights tour but there is no way I will be ready at 8:30-8:45 for a the hotel pick up.
What time does the Haigh's, for a chocolate factory tour start.

Well the weekend is almost here, +1 and I have been very busy putting together a heap of questions to ask during the tour which means you can win prizes! With only 21 people going and 19 eligible to win something (+1 and I abstain from winning anything unless it's a lucky draw by another member) and something like 35 items* in the prize pool, I'd be surprised if anybody goes home empty handed.
Many thanks go out to the following members for their generosity. Hopefully I have not forgotten to mention you if you have donated something.

@ALH and @GPH, @boomy, @Denali, @JessicaTam, @Matt_01, @mrsterryn, @romney

+1 and I are giving everybody a small gift plus have also thrown in a few items and @samh004 has made a financial contribution to ensure you get a fabulous day at an affordable price.

*If some prizes are not given away they will be kept for the next wine tour I organise.

Should anybody else like to donate something to the prizepool, please send me a PM with details so that I can add it to my list in advance which will make it easier for me on the day.

An important reminder: The coach departs at 08:30 sharp from outside the Adelaide Convention Centre on North Terrace, west of the Casino. If coming from the Hilton just get the free tram into the city and alight 1st stop after the tram turns left onto North Terrace.
Arrive at the gate late and the bird might have flown.
If you want my mobile number (just in case) PM me and you shall have it.

Exactly what I’m doing. Used AMEX $400 travel voucher last week to book MEL-ADL-BNE on VA.

I even called in case I was going something wrong. Yet they advertise return to places like HK for less.

J class not much more expensive than this ludicrous Y fare. They cut out a flight that left around 7ish on Friday - early one is too early for business meetings @4.50pm and next one is 8.40pm. Nothing like creating artificial demand.

 

[VPS]

That's obscene pricing

Because of the new tram extension opening please check where the next tram is going from the Victoria Square stop

I thought trams from Victoria Square only turned left onto North Terrace
