MEL Xmas dinner Sat 2 Dec 2023

[blackcat20]

I'm counting approximately 20 confirmed guests so far so it should be a good one.

Just a reminder that payment needs to be made to confirm your spot.

Have been watching prices from both HBA and my new favourite, LST still can't make it work. What would be the latest you need to know of attendance?

I think a week prior but they're usually pretty flexible

 

[Mattg]

I'm Platinum for this. See you all there!

 

[anat0l]

I'll throw my hat in at the Interested level for now. I haven't been to an AFF Do in ages (I would have gone to LST but the timing with flights around work was unworkable).

 

[WilsonM]

Put me down as Gold atm, just need to make sure I'm done uni by then

 

[hossein_au]

I will very likely be there unless called in on short notice: Gold verging towards Plat.

 

[WilsonM]

Updated to Platinum

I'm Platinum, wouldn't want to miss out! Great job organising this @blackcat20

@blackcat20, I’ve just paid but CBA is withholding payment for 24h, in case I decided to pay a scammer a mere $90
Thanks for organising this

Great news, look forward to seeing you both.

I see so many names I'd love to catch up with, but alas, I'm away at a festival. Enjoy all!

9th (long weekend)

Flights booked, I'm platinum!

I've tried, and tried and can't make it work. Expensive flights on both major airlines, and no Plat award seat release except except for the 6am-ers in both cases, plus hotel, and a major trip of mine starting not long after. I'm copper. Have a great night.

Yep, I have to fly down with Qantas but there are award j seats back for me (to Darwin...) With VA the following day.
VA offered a direct and better flight in J than what I have to pay for two red eye flex Y seats with QF

 

[Ade]

Silver at this point in time. Will confirm closer to the date. Too early to tell, but very, very interested.

I won't be able to participate unfortunately Will be interstate with folks coming from overseas.

 

[skylabsea]

I am interested in attending— is it too late to join and arrange payment? I’m a gold at this point
