Now Serfty has his handy flights list up, it seems no-one is flying Virgin to and from SYD on Friday/Sun and could use the club access, so I think we will drive, as the $79 fares just took an upward tick.

To those who have not registered
The drop dead date for registrations for the dinners (both Friday and Saturday) is Midnight AEST on Sunday 21 May. I need to provide final numbers to the restaurants the following day along with dietary restrictions so your registration and payment is needed by then at the latest. Of course, earlier registration is preferred.
If this is problematic please email [email protected] to make an arrangement prior to the drop dead date.

Thanks to DJ schedule changes, I now do not arrive until 0950. For those who were coming with me in the car, can you please confirm this is still OK? IIRC it was Thai-Kiwi, jswong, and possibly FriendlySkies, though I'm sure there was another one of you, too!

I am back in Australia now, and fully paid up.
Flights:
25 MAY - 17:50 - 18:55 - QF742 MEL-CBR
27 MAY - 16:15 - 17:05 - QF1486 CBR-SYD
Accom:
25th - Novotel
26th - Crowne Plaza
Apparently I will get a $50 F&B credit for the Novotel, so I will be up for a post-dinner drink on Friday if anyone is interested (assuming the hotel bar stays open late?).
Looking forward to my first OzFest!

I'll look for you on the roads - and dodge if Margo's not driving

Send a PM to Drewbles he was considering attending, lives in Melbourne, and looking at his options.

Funnily enough I just received a phone call about this only minutes after posting... and now will be arriving late on Friday, so offer retracted (unfortunately as I am sure someone would have liked a free hotel room)...

For anyone wondering what to pack.
The Canberra forecast for this week is for a weekly high of 19 deg C (66 F) and a weekly min of -3 deg C (27 F)
Mostly fine weather but a few showers.
