Canberra AFF Dinner - 5 March 2026

[funnymummy]

I have voted for march date. That would be a platinum if it sticks

Thanks for everyone that voted (and/or) indicated their preferred date. So far it looks like 05 Mar 2026 might be winning. I will keep the polls open until 15 Feb 2026. So please indicate your preferences by then. Thank you.

I'm Canberra based, and haven't caught up with any AFFers in real life since the original Qantas P1 preview lunch at Rockpool (!), so it would be good to put some faces to names.

I'm around for the 5th if that ends up being the winner.

Bronze - while CBR based, Thursday's are usually bad. Enjoy!

Traditionally pay days!

 

[Snowant]

Both OK for me but prefer March. Having IV Ig on the 26th and tend to be a bit blah after that. Last AFF dinner for me was at the Kingo just before the covid lockdowns started.

Traditionally pay days!

And various pension/dole days for various people. Money happens on Thursdays.

I’ll be overseas on those dates though, sorry.

Where will you be this time?

Canada

Nice! I've only ever been to Vancouver (and briefly Toronto airport), but I'd love to see more of Canada.

Based on the results I think it'll be 5 March.

Based on the results I think it'll be 5 March.

There is now an ever so slight chance I could do the 5th. Definitely not 26th as I need to be in Sale for an RAAF Pilots Course Graduation on 27th.

Gold for 5th of March here.
