I have to regretfully inform that I will be a scratching from this wonderful event. I was booking flights earlier on and realised that I will be playing golf on the 2nd and 3rd of August.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused and wish the event success and a permanent fixture in the AFF social calendar....

PriorityClub Pointbreaks (5000 points per night) are now available for the HI on Flinders St. I'm booked in 1-3 Aug for 10000 points.

So consider that my home hotel.

Can You Put Me Down For A Starter For Saturday Night Dinner.

The Westin Melbourne is running a pretty sweet deal, the 'Melb in Winter' offer.

Rate is $295 per night AI, but note

Quote:

Rate Includes $100 Credit Per Stay. Can Be Used On Food &.beverage (except In-room Dining & Mini-bar) Or Towards A Room.upgrade

Between brekkies and the Martini Bar, and your total rate is really only $195/night.

This also appears to be a fully flex rate.

Any SPGers wishing to pick up some stay credits/Starpoints - i reckon this is a bargain considering the average rate of this property ranges between 280-250 usually (and without the $100 credit).
