MEL Mid Winter Bash - OT 14 July 2023

[CaptJCool]

Now I can confirm to book in!

will arrive Melb around 5pm - perhaps a bit earlier which gives hopefully time to get over town.
and gratefully while I'm there use a hotel credit that's been sitting around since March 2020! plus catch Carlton v Power with a mate from home!

what other way to roll into an AFF Mid Winter Bash than, of course with a status run so that will send me a step closer to LTG
13th Adelaide - sydney - OOL - this is a leftover Flight credit which popped up tics at reduced prices ($30-$100 less) than the main booking website
14th OOL - Sydney https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=DARKSPEC23 - Melb (its a flex fare so I can "potentially fly forward" and with airfares as they've been Fly More to Pay Less!

looking forward to meeting a few new faces, and those I've met before!

Sadly I have a change of schedule this week and will not be in MEL. Hopefully can join the Aug dinner.

Enjoy everyone!

Paging @Goodonya

Aren't you a couple of days early?

 

[ahpratt]

What time @ Olive Tree tomorrow night?

 

[Cruiser Elite]

7pm - do you intend joining in? Have you advised upthread? If you have I have clearly missed it

 

[ahpratt]

Would love to, but have head cold no one would want to share!

 

[LinaLee]

@Cruiser Elite do we need to organise for our own decanter? Thanks for confirming

 

[Cruiser Elite]

You can if you desire - there is only 1 intact there now after boomy and penegal last visited

 

[Hvr]

Am looking forward to delicious steak tomorrow night. And catching up with my AFF colleagues.

I have the cash from the cache ready for the person who will reap the points.

Happy Bastille Day folks... and see you tonight!

 

[drcam]

Bastille Day = "bleu" steak?

 

[CaptJCool]

Happy Bastille Day folks... and see you tonight!

Sydney celebrations

Flight is departing on time so all being well I’ll roll in by 7pm

Just saw this and before Cruiser informs me that I’m passed the deadline, I’m going to rsvp anyway and give my apology as I have a prior family commitment tonight . As a bonus it will save me getting indigestion trying to scoff down my prawn quickly before penegal gets a hold of it . Have a great night and my regards to ‘Ette
