Updated Program:
The Mid Year Drinks and Dinner will be on 29 June 2013 in Sydney.
The Drinks will be held at The Sydney Hilton with dinner to follow at Glass (by Luke Mangan)
The meal will be a set menu and will be a 4 course - entree, main, desert and cheese platter and will be a similar arrangement to Pure South at Xmas
There is no cash bar facility so we will need to be creative
There is a deposit required - I will provide a link in a few days time. Anyone who books a room at the Hilton will get the link provided before public viewing to stop the minor issues experienced last time - it would help if you went to the facebook group and replied to the invite as well - here's a link
Dinner is $112.00 per person. This is $100 meal charge, 10% surcharge for a group booking and $2 for the transaction fee for online bookings
The Deposit is $60 with the balance being paid in cash or bank deposit in a similar arrangement as the last event. As there are limited seats, only pay the deposit if you are positive you are coming. Refunds will be arranged if your seat can be filled if by extraordinary circumstances you need to cancel.
There are 34 seats and 30 seats available for booking. (4 taken, 4 x munitalP)
Please see this post outlining the Recommended Guidelines for the collection of funds from members attending AFF events:

Per the information in that post in the Community Announcements forum, this thread requires a link to the recommended guidelines.
As the organiser of this event (and the previous 3), I feel that the system in place I used at Xmas worked more than adequate for any "trust" issues of receiving payments or refunding payments. I will be following the same structure as previously as I don't see it needs changing and the recommendations in the link above don't deviate far from what I have done in the past anyway. If this is unsuitable to any AFF member and they want the guidelines imposed on this event, unfortunately it would seem you wont be attending.
Honesty and trust is a given - it's a sad world when such a simple guideline is abused and it then becomes time to write rules to define honesty and trust because of a few...
- Start @ 1730 till 1930 - Pre-dinner drinks will be at the Hilton in a private area. Please follow the signs to level 2.
During this time there will be prize draws and our guest speaker will be giving a short presentation / question session.
The event sponsors will also have a few minutes to say something if they wish.

There will be no Kris Kringle. This is due to more than 1/3 of the people asked not wanting it. Please note - the Xmas event in December it will be a requirement.
(I am very disappointed about this as I feel it is part of the event!)
