CBR Summer get together 1800 on 12 November 18

[get me outta here]

We have Mattg passing through CBR around 12 November so we're having the summer dinner a tad earlier than summer.

As most people seem fine with The Kingo, we'll meet there. You can order from the menu, the special board, or cook your own on their huge bbq which comes with salad. The Kingo has a payg bar for all your drink requirements.

Amex shop small will be on and the Kingo has always been an option, so a $20+ meal gets $10 back.

Table will be in name of AFF in the Maddies area.

So far we have platinum:

Think I am in Canberra for work. Where is the venue?

 

[get me outta here]

That's good. It's at 73 Canberra Ave, Canberra ACT 2603.

There's free parking, but if it gets tight, you can park under the East Hotel across the road for about $4 (the Kingo will give you $2 back). The East is an apartment hotel and is recommended.

Thanks will see if I can find something in the government rate in close proximity as I will not have a car.

There's also Abode in Kingston. $186.

(Maybe I could swap it for a Kingo steak ... , which is hopefully on Amex shop small ...)

I bought two of these but my kiddo decided to use her Voda. I used mine for 29 days and it was good.

I am a maybe and won't be able to confirm until the night unfortunately, my work trips to Canberra can often go pear shaped.

 

[get me outta here]

That’s ok. Hope we do see you - another chair at the table will be easy.

Sorry for only finding this thread now. I will be in Canberra for that week and am keen for a social event.
I haven't been to an AFF social gathering before. Is there a password? A secret handshake?

I was wondering the same thing as it will be my first event too if I can make it

You just come to The Kingo to the Maddies Restaurant part of the place and ask the people at the 'desk' where are those AFF reprobates and they'll give you a table number.

I'm gonna have to get a bigger table, so I can't tell you which number it is at present. On the way to the table, grab yourself a drink and even order your dinner if you like, or just join a few of us who will be going off to (self) immolate the steaks.
