Brisbane dinner - 20 January 2026

[Gladstone Tim]

Platinum for me.

 

[Katie]

Count me in.

 

[Mattg]

@Mattg I notice the menu online said one bill per table - but maybe you already have experience splitting bills there? Just wanted to check. I'm still not sure if I can make it next week.

I'm not sure - will try to get an answer before the event, but if everyone is indeed able to order & pay for their own food through me&u that would be quite convenient!

Would you like Velocity points with that?

I’d love to join but will only be available from 8pm. Are you guys planing to go elsewhere for few drinks after dinner?

 

[Mattg]

Thanks everyone. I've made a booking at Wu Kong for Tuesday, 20 January at 6.30pm. They've informed me that it's possible to split the payment at the end (i.e. each person pays for what they ordered from the single bill). The booking is in my name (Matt Graham).

See you there!

I'd say that's quite possible

Big thank-you to @Port Power who advised that the Sebel is subject to (unadvised) night time construction noise (CrossRiver Albert St station). No wonder it was so cheap!! Refunds being given for pre-paid bookings.

I'm now at Sofitel Central, but not in a suite.

 

[Port Power]

I’m moving to the Sofitel tomorrow, too. A bit of a nuisance, but I can still enjoy a full day out and about once I drop off my overnight case. The restaurant at the Sebel is closed for dinner while construction is ongoing, something also not advised.

I had a look at the Wu Kong menu tonight as it is next door to the Sebel. Oh well, it will be an enjoyable walk on Tuesday evening.

Hi Matt - Please include me (DC-TREKS). Look forward to catchinh everyone. Thx David

 

[bPeteb]

I somehow missed this thread. I'll have a chat to bAlt now Matt. If not possible to add any more to the booking that's cool as well.

 

[bPeteb]

Sorry for the very late notice Matt but if we can be squeezed in, bAlt and me are a yes. It's a very long walk from our place, not

 

[anat0l]

Is it too late to go Platinum here?

Been a whirlwind of a few days - had a lot of family over, a wedding to attend, then about 2 days of travel.

 

[Mattg]

OK, so this is the list of Platinums at this point:

@Mattg
@QPProletarian
@Bundy Bear
@RooFlyer
@Port Power
@CMA222
@Ade
@AIRwin
@Katie
@Gladstone Tim
@NM
@Larko1
@Captain Halliday
@DC-Treks
@anat0l
@bPeteb
@bPeteb +1

@Sprucegoose informed me he can't make it any more, but at this point we're oversold by two seats.

@DC-Treks have added you to the list, and @anat0l I had reserved a spot for you so yes, you're confirmed now as well. @bPeteb I'll try calling the restaurant tomorrow to see if we can add two more seats at the table for you and Al, but I don't imagine that will be a problem.

Trained for spicy food?
