Yarra Valley Wine Tasting and Lunch (Sunday 30 November)

[Buzzard]

+1 and I are staying at HOTP. We just want to go somewhere and get a good feed. Anywhere.

I shall keep an eye on this thread and if I spot that we are going to a BYO I shall pack a bottle into my luggage.

 

[penegal]

Speaking of which, what's the plan?

For dinner?

 

[penegal]

For dinner?

Yes, for dinner.

 

[blackcat20]

Yes, for dinner.

I thought you were organising it

 

[penegal]

I thought you were organising it

Oh

Did we have a time in mind? and how many people?

 

[TheBOSman]

Saturday night or Sunday night? I'm wide open for both, just wanting to be certain.

 

[blackcat20]

Saturday. Maybe 7? There are some sport commitments here...

 

[penegal]

I was thinking 8:30 to allow for lounge time, but then we run the risk of a late evening

Probably too late given the early start. If suggest 7.30 at the latest.

Sounds like a sensible idea... so how many pax?

 

[boomy]

Let's compromise on 8 o'clock then. We do need to allow some lounge time after all.

7.30 is the compromise. Not all of us have lounges to utilise.

 

[penegal]

So how many are coming to the wine tour?
13 of 16 seats?

And then how many to dinner?

I will be at dinner.

 

[Buzzard]

+2 for dinner here.

I/we would prefer 7.30 as it is going to be a long day with an early wake up for the flight to MEL and a long day again on Sunday.

Unless we are guested x 2 or get an upgrade we have no HOTP lounge access as I am only Gold.

Ok then, doesn't matter too much to me, was just trying to make everyone happy. After an early morning start I would love to get a good night sleep.

Unless we are guested x 2 or get an upgrade we have no HOTP lounge access as I am only Gold.

I will give you a card after I'll check in.

 

[blackcat20]

2 for dinner here.

not sure if the last three spots have been filled.

 

[TomVexille]

There's still 3 spots on the bus if anyone else wants to come along.

 

[TomVexille]

Can I also suggest a separate dinner thread so that people not reading this thread can potentially see it.
