[awilcockson]

Well done hvr, counting the days, it sounds like it's going to be a great weekend.

 

[samh004]

Sounds brilliant so far!

 

[kpc]

Brilliant! Looking forward to it, Hvr

Thanks hvr, I don't think enough planning has gone into the drinking part of the weekend but I am sure a few adult beverages will be consumed.

I now have to cancel for selfish reasons that will be clear soon. My apologies. <removed stuff regarding diamont>
Also if there are any expenses I need to pay?

I wish all AFF'ers attending a very good weekend at the CBR activities. I humbly submit my apologies for my inability to attend. John.

It is a shame and there is now another seat on the bus if anyone wants. Two left each day. Or you can buy another seat for your comfort. :mrgreen:

Strewth and I suppose you'll want priority boarding as well? :mrgreen:

I'd like to know what you are offering your quadruple platinum guest (QF,VA, FB, PC)?

A quick perusal of the bus guest list suggests nearly all the pax are platinum...so the non platinum boarding line will be the shortest!!

Like I've indicated ... if my seat on the bus isn't used - and this affects the cost of the bus, please let me know. Happy to make things right. Likewise for anything else.

Basically I became double booked, and the 2nd booking is one that can't be changed - and is something I really shouldn't miss (having been offered it for free). Those who follow me on FB may have gotten the idea, It is basically a free weekend away that is valued at > $2K.

.... <edit> was able to cancel Diamont booking. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for reminding me to read the T&Cs carefully! (Usually Hotelclub bookings are non-ref ... this particular one was - with only the minor penalty).

Aha good news.

By the way what is the latest attendees list?

Classic. One of the only times where no status has it's benefits.

Weather forecasts suggest it is going to be a wet weekend with cold nights:shock:
