MEL Champagne Appreciation Night [Wed Feb 18 2015]

[Lowjhg]

I am somehow in MEL on this day, but am connecting from QF1500 to QF35. So highly unable to partake in the festivities Although i have a party to attend in SIN (Thats whY I'm flying there )

There are high class AFFers coming? Boy, are they going to be out of place!

They sure are!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Good question.. is it good form to rock up with an esky ............................. maybe we can bring two bottles chilled (and in style) while the other two can be chilled by the restaurant??

It's excellent form to rock up with an asky - and strongly advised - we are dining at Topolinos remember - it's hardly the Ritz - not sure if they even have anything that resembles Champagne glasses there - I will check that out on Sat night when I swing by there.

Uppy did you check the list of attendees? Please do not confuse First Class with high class - that would be so far off the mark!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Are we expected to pre-chill bottles or just rock up?

Nah just drink it warm Einstein! Have you not met me before? Are you not aware of the establishments I frequent?

ALL ATTENDEES - FYI - MAKE SURE YOUR CHAMPERS IS COLD BEFORE ARRIVING AND PLEASE BRING SOME BAG / ESKY / COOLER FOR KEEPING IT COLD.

I'm sure that can be arranged.

Although I can't guarantee it won't mysteriously evaporate...

 

[blackcat20]

Who is this Blacky that everyone keeps referring to?

Beats me...

I dare say you are more trustworthy than an office fridge which several hundred people could theoretically get access to.

Plan B is I will ask the Hyatt to chill them.

You know her very well

I'm happy to mind them if you don't keep calling me Blacky, otherwise I'll just drink them...

Now as the day draws closer it suddenly dawns on me - did we actually set in stone a commencement time? If YES can someone advise? If NO - does 19:30 suit everybody or anybody or nobody? Any preferences for earlier / later 'POP'?

In latest attendee update I have 10 First Class pax - are all confirmed? I will be in Toppy's tonight for wee drinky and will confirm the numbers (if I can).

JT yes I know you are confirmed.

When I mentioned this to someone they expressed interest in attending, so I may have an additionally guest (and bottle) if that is okay.

I carefully worded that post as to not actually have to say - 'penegal pull your finger out and furnish some details'!

 

[Doug_Westcott]

I'm confirmed; 19:30 is fine by me.

 

[whughes3]

Definite starter here (happily just a quick tram ride for me).

I am definitely confirmed... Additional Phantom is TBC. I have asked and will report back...

 

[penegal]

Okay "Phantom" has got back to me, and they aren't coming, so its just me.

As such I have arranged for a very special drink for Cruiser.
