Regular MEL Yum Cha Event [Inaugural Sun Jan 19th]

[samh004]

Why didnt you fly ??? LOL

Travelling with a friend and didn't want to book until sales had ended. Fuel to drive was cheaper by then.

That said, F lounge run booked to get to MEL.

There's a few spare seats owing to the fact I had to book two tables of different sizes (the QF booking engine errored when I tried for two tables the same size at the same time). There may be a surprise guest, but there's still a few seats if anyone is interested.

We need to be out by 1:15 for the next sitting, but I can't see that being an issue.

 

[straitman]

OK I just changed the booking. We now have 2 x tables of 8, meaning that TomVexille's friend, and straitman and friend can also attend.

List now is:

That makes 15, and one spare spot still. I'm assuming people will be happy with that?

I put a note in the booking requesting adjoining tables, so lets see if it works.

Thanks drewbles.

See you all there.

Could my wife come along for the extra spot?

Absolutely. samh004​, could you kindly update to make it 16

There may still be a special surprise guest making it 17, but that's the limit. The restaurant called me to confirm a table of 8 and 9, next to each other.

Good day for it. The weather has been glorious - I've been looking out at the people enjoying darling harbour with envy from my office all day.

What do you mean you are actually travelling? Surely AFF members aren't allowed to actually travel anywhere...

They weren't actually going anywhere other than around in a loop.

 

[penegal]

They weren't actually going anywhere other than around in a loop.

I find most trips tend to result in returning to the same place (this "" Home "" you speak of).

 

[penegal]

There is a small chance that I can now make this, having now been forced to change some travel plans against my will

The confirmed spots are at 16 and I booked for 17 (a table of 8 and 9). I guess we can try and make them both 9 if you like when we get there, but they've already confirmed the booking at present. As it's the first attempt at using Qantas Restaurants, i'm cautious.
