Hobart Wine, Food and Gin tasting trip – March 21 2020

[Mal]

I'm in Hobart that weekend, but days are already full with tourism stuff. Will follow this thread and see if I can participate.

Thanks Steady for drawing my attention to this thread. I should be around that weekend so I'm happy to participate in the festivities.

Finally got something sorted.
Like Mal I will be in Hobart that weekend but busy. Happy to do Saturday dinner with people though. (2 people for dinner)

@Tassieoptom Just wondering whether we have a definite tour going and what the details and costs are please? Thanks

 

[CaptJCool]

Well eventually booked airfares

So in late evening 18th March, out early evening 26th March

ODI on the Friday
Wine, food and Gin Saturday ....

 

[CaptJCool]

Well, whether the tour goes ahead (or not) is there any impetus to arrange a Saturday night dinner ?

[kookaburra75]

And add in two for us as well

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I'm also in - one person

 

[CaptJCool]

Ok, I asked a reliever, a local and a former work-mate who visited there a lot and likes a good wine ,

Should get some decent recommendations by end of the weekend

 

[VPS]

I'm a non starter now - haven't heard details so made other plans

 

[Steady]

Having a look through the thread I think this is what has been posted.....

If I have it right currently 7 for the tour and potentially 10 for dinner. Can any of the silvers confirm yet?

Huge regrets, but @GPH & @ALH are now Bronze. Some serious mobility issues requiring surgery.

Have an absolute blast every one, and hopefully meet you all at the next event.

thanks for the hand Steady, I seem to have not got any messages from this thread recently including tagging me in questions so please accept my apologies. Life has been rather hectic and extra duties from new board member and committee member roles have had this little black duck running in circles. Sorry @VPS only saw your tag today when I made it home, big stuff up and sincere apologies from me. So 7 confirmed at this stage means I will arrange transport for this sort of number As it is lowish I will decide on a twelve seater that I will drive, (gives us cheaper trip, greater options of tastings and travel) or a similar bus with driver but that is significantly more expensive and has a 4 hour limit on the tour.

With that number sorted we can take a few more.
I will do up an itinerary this weekend and post.

cheers TassieOptom.

Hello all, I've been tracking this thread and this event for a little while. Schedule has firmed up enough now so that I know I have some free time.

Is there space for one more at the last minute? I would love to participate in the tour and the Sat evening dinner (and whatever other adventures there are to be had).

I'm really looking forward to meeting more AFFers.

Definitely will add you in. Will limit it to 12 as it will likely be a 12 seater mini type bus. Think there is 8 now so still room for a few more.

Good to see a new face !

My maths says that a dozen for dinner.

Yes that sounds correct, dinner extras are easy as long as I book it. Last time we did Frogmore Creek The Lounge and it was very well received. Mrs TassieOptom is considering joining to drive us so looking fuller with maybe 3 spots left on the bus.
