Thanks.

Have booked four tickets for the Saturday dinner! Will bring my wife, my Dad and his partner. He's joined me on a NOU multi day mileage run so is sort of a frequent flyer.

My Thai wife noticed that the Thai wording describes the vegetarian curry but the English says duck curry so might be worth confirming with restaurant. Duck curry sounds amazing.

I've actually seen places in the UK use beetroot with salmon, so it's not purely an Oz thing.
As they say in Australian jokes - you can't beetaroot, but until you try, you don't know...

Accom for me is the HIX Melbourne on Sat night - great timing for my elevation to Platinum Elite via the current promo - might get me an extra water

Looking at the sign up for Sat dinner and events Sunday.

Signed up and paid for Sat dinner. As I go to AFL games regularly at the Gabba [the other G ] I'm tempted to head to the game (as I've done the MCG tour, had a dinner function there but never been to a game of cricket or AFL). Can you do anything at this late hour @serfty to snare another ticket - presume we're in GA seating? Shall I bring my Lions gear

You can take out Mrs QF WP and the mini QF WP's from Silver and put to Bronze Mwenenzi .

The AFL game is Sunday is St. Kilda v. North Melbourne at the Docklands stadium, so not far from the HIX Little Collins St. Starting 1pm it is more appropriate for those who may be flying out Sunday evening. The tickets are for reserved seating so we can be seated together - although only a week out there is plenty of GA available.

The MCG is holding the Melbourne v Fremantle Game on Saturday but starting after 4:35pm, it clashes with Saturday Dinner.

Yes, as I'm heading home on an 8pm Sunday flight, the game is at Docklands and I'm at HIX Melbourne, seems a perfect fit. I'm sure I'll catch up with others somewhere for Sunday breakfast
