While I'll almost certainly be there, I won't be able to confirm exactly which activities for the moment (well, outside Sat dinner)

As for Long Chim, Velocity Daily still has them at 3 Velocity Points per dollar

Just a note again to reiterate that the event attendance in post #4 is updated as money comes in. I may list your username without a / for various events until the money clears, at which point you will be reflected fully.

I'll be platinum, my first AFF gathering! lucky number 13 ;-)

Arriving the morning of Friday 18 October and leaving Monday 21 October 8:20AM on QF2020.
Haven't confirmed where I will be staying yet but it will probably be an Accor property somewhere around the CBD or Darling Harbour.
Still deciding which events before completing registration but definitely the Opera House and HARS tours.

I'm sure we could organise a few volunteers to hang around the pub until you get there on Friday night

Thanks for such a considerate thought. I would hate to inconvenience anyone!

Accommodation found. Decided to head out of the city a bit, so a hotel at Green Square. Considering the cost is a third the cost of the CBD, there is spare $ for cabs!

Similar accommodation found for my one night. At $126 vs $400+ it's a no brainer. Veriu Green Square.

Thank you straitman as I own a chunk of that. Next one is the rebadged Novotel Sydney Airport that has had a substantial renovation to all of the rooms finishing May this year. This was the old Hilton which has double glazed windows that I used to use back in the eighties. If Lorraine is still there as the manager she is a fantastic asset for the Accor chain.
Veriyu Green Square has the Green Square train station right across the road so access to everything is excellent and this hotel should open late August.
