Dear all, I am a late scratching. I didn't realise that my folks' flight to Thailand was during the week before, so I won't be in Sydney on 21/22 February. And I have to aggressively save for my Ponant cruise!!! (which I don't even know whether I'll go on it, as few of my grand plans ever come to fruition.)
Sydney Meetup/Dinner @ Chin Chin - 21 Feb 2026
- Thread starter DejaBrew
- Start date
@DejaBrew: Am interested in attending, but have had to wait until after hubby's medical procedure done yesterday, to decide. Please add me as a Platinum. I am easy and will go with whichever menu seleted by the group, no allergy. However, I am a non-drinker so will not take the alcoholic package. Thanks.

Hi All 
We're just over a week out from our AFF SYD Dinner. A gentle reminder that I need to supply final numbers by this Monday 16th February. I've updated everyone's status through to Post #122. If you are Platinum and can no longer make it, please be sure to let me know ASAP as there is a $50pp late cancellation fee for which I'd rather not need to chase you
If you are currently Gold or Silver, or you otherwise wish to attend and have not yet indicated as such, please note that you are more than welcome, however I cannot guarantee seating for you after I supply final booking numbers on Monday.

- If you haven't already advised any dietary requirements and/or allergies, please be sure to let me know ASAP via private message (assuming you don't wish to post directly in this thread). For those who have already advised me of dietary needs, I will shortly reconfirm with you via PM to ensure I have you covered. If you don't hear from me today and have dietary needs, please reach out to me directly via PM.
- The majority seem to be keen on The Classics, so I'm going to lock in that as our set menu of choice.
- Given only a couple were interested in drinks packages, I'm going to lock in no drinks package (i.e. we order per table).

Hi folks, quick update to advise that I have confirmed 22 attendees per my previous post #123.
@Sprucegoose and @straitman - I indicated to the restaurant that we may have an additional couple of guests, but I couldn't include them in my confirmed attendees at this time. They've advised that we should be able to accommodate a few extras without issue in the event that you are able to attend.
@SCM - thanks for the update. Sorry you can't make it - hopefully catch you at a future vent.

Not expecting much overlap, but an invite (up to 3 ppl) if anyone would like to watch the first half of Sydney FC v Brisbane Roar at Allianz Stadium, only 2km away. Stadium Members section, gates open 4pm, game starts 5pm. Leave 5.45pm and 10min cab ride.
