I'm still not Platinum, but am at least listed as having flights and accomodation ... :p

I have updated post #1 with the lists ...

Whoops, Apologies serfty I have fixed this... senility is slowly getting the better of me :oops::oops:

Perhaps I should start wearing my super trendy reading spectacles...

I have booked for this (here's hoping there is room on the train).

Arrive SYD 0855 QF412
Depart CBR 1500 QF815
(no, I'm not stalking penegal, a mixture of best fares and time convenience determined these flights ;))

Staying at Novotel.

Excellent - a second at the Novotel. I am thinking I will just change to this flight rather than risk not being able to fly ahead at the airport.

I assume you also found the QF sale hard to resist? :p

I have just received an invitation from the Director of Sales, Marketing & Loyalty for Accor Australia & Pacific; inviting me to bring a group of Frequent Flyer friends to host a dinner & drinks in one of their Melbourne hotels. I was considering using it for one of the upcoming months MEL AFF gatherings, but based on interest it might be better used for us in Canberra? Thoughts?

Given our late arrival into Canberra, I suspect it would be better to do this as a separate event in MEL.

And from a purely selfish perspective, with a staff party on the 13th, I suspect I will be on the tired and inebriated side by the time we arrive in Canberra :rolleyes:
 
re: Christmas Drinks & Train Crawl Sydney to Canberra [Sat. 14 December]

What time are we due in again? I'm happy either way. Maybe we use it for November MEL gathering as I imagine everyone is everywhere else in December.

Approx. 8pm :D

Is there room for one more? Please put me down as gold. Will update in a few days.

And travelling on BAM1748 they won't be spotting plain trains. :p

Sorry for being late to the party, but I didn't know whether I'd be in the country for December until now.

I'm wondering if there's any space left available, I'm interested but I have to check with the finance department before making a firm commitment.

Same here - hoping my situation will be clearer by this week. If so, I'm keen to squeeze myself on to the train...

Luckily I did wait. Plus I have a 50% bonus SC offer.

Late comers welcome, but you might be forced to lean at the bar.
