You have a PM QF009

Ok, I am now a confirmed attendee for the AFF gathering.

Will be departing SYD at 615am

on DJ802 which arrives into MEL at 745am.

Will tag-along all Saturday activities

I am staying at an unknown hotel at this stage , they all seem awfully pricey for that one night

Flying out QF420 at 930am first thing on Sunday. Anyone offering to guest me into a lounge would be nice touch but not necessary.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Alan

My conference has been moved. So now I don't have to miss any part of The Gathering. Look fwd to meeting y'all.

QF009, I've gone from doubtful to a definite non-starter

.

Have a PER & BME trip leaving on Sun night, arriving back Wed 11.45pm. Then am taking a couple of weeks off as described below, so will crack a couple of drinks over that weekend in Fiji.

. Looks like I have a trip to PER & BME the preceeding week and may be taking a week's holiday with Mrs LW and mini-LW commencing that weekend, instead of coming down to MEL.

Also got an invite to my accountants' Golf Day on Friday 1st and that's hard to turn down

.

Given the prices I saw at hotels, I was tempted to just commute in, but I just noticed that the Hilton seems to have come down in price (currently pricing at $211.60 per night, so back to the realms of thinking about it!)

Count me in for the dinner SAT night.

Will advise re: other activities in due course.

Both the Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn in Melbourne CBD are showing no free rooms for the Sat night, so hotel choices seem to be reducing.
