Christmas drinks on the BAM [Fri 19th Dec 14]

[samh004]

what kind of cost are we looking at? is it BYO ? or do we help out by buying a drink etc?

BYO drinks last year, plus meals at pit stops

 

[bass_ke]

Registering interest. Absolutely loved last year!

Times still up in the air, but looking more like (90%) Friday Dec 19th, say 11am out of Central and we'll look at a stop at Revesby at 10.25am which is on the same line as the airport, possibly run through to Tarago for a 2 hour Loaded Dog (or somewhere else appropriate) stop then onto Canberra arriving about 6 hours earlier than last time.

As per other trips, I'll stock up on basic beers, some spirits and wines for all, just make a donation.

As today is the last day to earn double points (Qantas) and you're now at 90% sure (hope this doesn't bite me in the butt) I'm likely to go ahead and book this evening. and thinking of going for a WTB-SYD route to take in the new route, as it's still at $99! then perhaps breakfast in the SYD QP, before heading to Central!

Anyone else from QLD tempted to fly this rather strange route?

...it would be an 05:00 start!

I'm a late booker myself, but for that price why not. I'll take you out for beers myself if it doesn't go. :mrgreen:

Should either come up the night before or aim to be at Central about 10am. I don't have an exact departure time as yet.

I'm booked from WTB (Toowoomba).

Interestingly for a QFLink service, when I manage my booking I can select actual seats, previously it was just window or aisle!

I have looked very hard at this and would really like to attend as I had a ball last year, but sadly, cannot.

Those who go should have a great day ...

Dash or 717?

+1 and I have a wedding in Sydney the next day; not sure whether morning or afternoon yet. If time allows, we would love to join you if there is still room.

It's interesting that it's a Q400, but I could select seats... unlike a few 717 services lately. Naturally, selected 1A!

Would be great to see you again if it works out...

 

[markis10]

Please put me down as very interested, possible +1 as well.

 

[UP4014]

All, although times to be worked out, 99% now for Dec 19th. I'll be booking my return flight for Saturday.

Seated or standing, I'm in if there's space.
