Mid Year AFF XMAS Drinks and Dinner - 30 June 2012, Hilton Surfers Paradise, QLD

[Fifa]

Please count myself and +1 as Platinum for the dinner.
Our flights CBR-OOL are now booked and we will be staying at the Hilton (Diamond).

Info re: the dining disount: "One Hilton Macquarie Platinum Card is accepted per table or party. The dining discount applies to the first 10 people."
Hilton Macquarie - FAQ's & Membership Conditions
I would certainly like to use my card for the two of us and anyone else who may like 20% discount, if possible. (Maybe they would allow multiple cards in this instance?) If not, I'm also happy

Thanks for organising this event munitalP - we're looking forward to it!

 

[munitalP]

I like that idea, I'll send Luke an email and see where we can go down that path - prepay dinner

That part of the t&c's is relevant to ad hoc dining when not staying at the property when the cost cannot be charged to one's room.



Posted on a wing and a prayer ...

Excellent idea to pre-pay directly.
Absolutely no confusion and they will have our names

Aha - that's interesting to know.

 

[Jkyn]

I will happily comply with what ever the final decision and more than happy to prepay by whatever means is decided.
I certainly appreciate all the work that goes into the organisation.
Looking forward to my first big AFF event.

I don't know what time I'm arriving, but I'm probably going to be on either QF555 (dep 1955) or QF557 (dep 2025) on Sunday.

Unsure of my transport arrangements yet though as I'll be spending some time with family as well. I usually either get the air train from Nerang, or my mum drives me into the airport

More than happy to share something though. Will know closer to the date.

MunitalP, I'm happy to go with whatever is decided by you the organiser.

Yum, where do I pay

Have to print out a copy for Mrs LW, so she can see what she is in for

God the menu looks ahh-maaaa-zing...

I'm still unsure about my availability to attend due to my 30th in London this year (chewing up significant funds). I should know closer to the time. When is the latest we can let you know?

 

[medhead]

I've been keeping out of this for fear of over committing. Great idea. As it turns out, I'm most likely going to be in MEL for Oz Comic Con. Gotta see Capt Picard.

Err, word of warning there. Translink (or more accurately, Surfside) is about as reliable as the Titanic for arriving at it's prearranged destination on time. My kids regularly have to find alternate arrangements when the bus simply fails to turn up or keeps driving straight past them. Even after the Daniel Morcombe lessons. Numerous complaints have done nothing to curb the totally random nature of this so-called time-tabled public transport disaster (the stop before ours is a time clock stop and still they ignore it). Choose public transport on the GC at your own peril (and I advise you not bank on getting your Luke Mangan gastronomic delights..........OOL is a long way to hitch to Surfers).

There's no cut off mate, Luke has accepted extras till the day and will accomodate. No promises on upgrades at the Hilton though!
