We have reached out to those who haven't yet responded but there are still a few gaps. For the several people who have not confirmed anything the best I can offer is a definite maybe if they decide this week that they want to attend these dinners.
It is anticipated that the Sunday bus will cost about $20pp on top of lunch. The $ numbers were initially quite horrendous but I believe I have pulled it back to the $20 mark.

We have set up a no cost reservation ticket system to indicate your attendance at the 3 main events on Eventbrite. We have to
confirm and guarantee numbers with the vendors. That confirms you will make the payments, even if you no show for some reason.

Sunday 28th May
Trip out of Hobart morning-lunch-afternoon.
Pickup for those heading to lunch on Sunday, the bus will leave from outside where we have dinner on Saturday night. "
The Drunken Admiral" at 10:30 with a return time of about 15:15.
First stop will be
The Margate Train This is about 20 minutes south of Hobart. We'll stop for 45 min - 1 hr just for a look around.
From there we will head another 15 minutes south to Kettering to the
Oyster Cove Inn for a counter lunch. A great scenic location with some pretty good food. This venue will be
strictly pay as you go.

After lunch we will head back to Hobart via a different route and people will be able to do their own thing for a few hours.
Sunday bus cost will be heavily dependent on how many people we have and therefore share the cost of bus hire. The rest will be pay as you go. At this time we expect about 20~25 of the ~40 platinum's to attend. While some people will have rental cars. sharing the bus cost helps all.
Please pay the $20 money to
kpc on the Saturday, with the $80 Saturday evening (for those doing both). Strong preference is not to collect the bus trip money on the Sunday.

Dinner
For the survivors there will be a casual dinner at a venue to be advised.
=====================
Over time this post will be have more information and links to other posts in this thread.
In late February – March we start to think about activities and talk to suppliers, vendors and restaurants, as by that time we have rough guide of attendee numbers. Before that time very little detailed planning happens. We set up a web based reservation system to book and pay for activities in late March-April.
Some activities require pre payment and others a commitment to attend. Some people attend all activities and others a few or maybe only the main Saturday night dinner. All are welcome albeit all or 1 activity. On the Friday some of the early attendees meet for self arranged lunch/what ever. People can start to arrive from Wednesday and some do not leave until the following Tuesday/Wednesday. Some people leave Oz Fest on the Sunday.
The Oz Fest team base costs on people attending activities based on known flights and the history of similar events attended. Due to commitments the Oz Fest team has made/will make to restaurants, suppliers and/or vendors no refunds are possible, unless another person takes your place. We often have to pay upfront for activities and/or restaurants. The cost does not include the fee (~6%) Oz Fest pay to the reservation web site. They will be extra when people pay.
Generally Oz Fest has
- Friday evening drinks-dinner
- Saturday activity or activities. Sometimes a bus day trip
- Saturday evening Oz Fest dinner. Tends to get 100% participation
- Sunday activity or activities.
- Sunday evening casual dinner. Often self organised with no pre booking
