The Great Melbourne Cantiniere Catastrophe Corroboree 17 Feb 2023.

[penegal]

Was a pleasant surprise to run into @Cruiser Elite at OT one night before Christmas. I thought @boomy and @penegal were there too? Sorry for not saying hi (or properly) as it was a bit rushed when leaving. Wish everyone a happy new year ahead!

We were there, that was the third planning meeting!

Happy New Year to you too!

I'm now Platinum. Just booked my flights.

Edit: have not received my e-tickets yet ... so ... I'm Platinum-ish .... hoping QF would send the tickets by tonight ...

MrsK and I have decided to descend from the Ivory Towers in Canberra and grace your presence in Melbourne for the evening.
Platinum for us, we've locked in flights and accommodation (we're staying with the kids). I have to head back to work on Sunday night (VA), but MrsK will stay on a few more nights to exercise the credit card.

 

[ric_melb]

Good evening. Would you please move me from Gold to Platinum. Looking forward to catching up with many people I haven't seen for about 3 years.

 

[penegal]

Crikey, this is getting bigger than Ben Hur! And welcome @serfty - I saw that cheeky

I better ring the restaurant now that they are re-opening today and increase our booking.

[Noah Count]

I'm down for gold and highly likely I will change to platinum soon.

 

[Noah Count]

Well just like that I am now platinum. Flights and accommodation sorted so now it's time to sort out a flagon of goon

 

[penegal]

If you're bringing goon, we don't want you

750mL is standard, 1500mL also acceptable

 

[drcam]

I'd be interested in making an appearance

 

[Hvr]

I'd be interested in making an appearance

We'd be interested in meeting you.
Please confirm your likelihood of attendance.

 

[drcam]

Likelihood of attendance: high

 

[straitman]

OK Platinum for me also.

 

[penegal]

OK Platinum for me also.

Only on days ending in “-*day”

 

[TomVexille]

You're going to have to book the entire restaurant out at this rate @penegal

 

[RooFlyer]

Hey, can we change the name to AFF Annual Get Together in Launceston ? That'll save a lot of work.

 

[mel-world]

If there is still room available, I'd like to make a first visit to one of the AFF gatherings. Please mark me a Platinum - I already have my travel arrangements organised (a Miki from the eastern suburbs). Let me know if a deposit is required.
