AFF Gathering #17 in BNE on 18 - 20 October 2024

brisbane-18-20-october.jpg

We're pleased to announce that the 2024 AFF annual gathering will be held in Brisbane, the sunny capital of Queensland!

The weekend of Friday 18 - Sunday 20 October 2024 has been chosen for the event. As per past years, there will be a welcome dinner on the Friday evening, optional activities on Saturday and a main dinner on Saturday evening. There may also be an optional activity on Sunday in the late morning.

All AFF members (and +1's, etc.) are welcome to attend. Most people usually fly in on Friday afternoon and leave on the Sunday afternoon/evening.

Your lead organisers for this year's event are @NM and @QF WP. Other Brisbane-based members are also welcome to volunteer to assist.

We'll update this thread over the coming months with more information about the planned activities, dinner venues and costs, which we expect to be similar to past gatherings. There will be a $5 registration fee per participant, plus the cost of any activities and/or meals that you choose to join.

For now, please feel free to let us know in this thread if you think you'll be able to make it! For those unfamiliar with the AFF terminology:

  • "Platinum" means you're planning to attend and have booked flights/accommodation
  • "Gold" means you're likely to attend but will need to confirm at a later time
  • "Silver" means you're unlikely to attend at this stage.
  • "Bronze" means you're unable to attend.

The AFF Leadership Team can provide support in terms of money collection and distribution, and editing this thread as needed. If something needs to be updated, please simply report the post with the update so anyone on the team can action it (starting a conversation only alerts one person).

We're looking forward to seeing you all in Brissie!

I am staying at the Sebel, where I have sufficient status to get out of the disabled room on the ground floor.
So it seems we will be staying in the same hotel at the same time yet again. If you make it to the HKG lounge crawl by my calculations we will have crossed paths around 3-4 times in the past 12 months ;):)
 
Please upgrade me to Platinum
Arriving BNE Friday 18/10 1:20 pm (QF616 leaving MEL 12:10 pm)
Leaving BNE Monday 21/10 12:40 pm (QF 1267 arriving MEL 4:05 pm).
Still on the look out for a nice centrally based hotel with a walk in shower (ie not over bath)
 
Moved to Platinum.
Arriving BNE at 18/10 morning (not confirmed yet)
Leaving BNE at about 1700 by VA at 20/10 (confirmed)
Still looking for the hotel. Wow so many our friends choose The Sebel Brisbane. I cannot afford to stay there! Whats the address of the Sebel Brisbane?

Platinum, staying at the Sebel. Not sure about my flights out of BNE, but I daresay I'll be on QF1964 on Friday 18th.

Considering the numbers we're getting here, I wonder how decent a discount we could get if we looked at group bookings for future AFF gatherings. Although, we'd miss out on points/status. Probably heresy here...
