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!

Although TK is not even on the attendees list, so maybe my already confused brain is even more confused. PM's sent.

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!
Given I'm staying there, I daresay I'll be up for it!

I am staying at the "Rydges Lakeside", I stayed there a week ago and did a comfortable ten minute test walk to the CP.

See you all for drinks, Ray

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.
