I may as well use this thread as an expression of interest. Please only post if you're above 75% chance of making it, as I need a good estimation of numbers over the next week or so.

Any Brisbane guys booking fares today? I was thinking of the 0715 on Thursday 5th and back on the 1800 on Monday 9th.

Thinking the same except I'll head back Sunday night. Any chance of a room Wednesday night?

Hmmmm, I have to decide on the Thursday/Monday rounds to take advantage of this sale. If I went Thursday, it would definitely be later than 0715, as I would still do the kiddie school dropoff.

I am looking at those flights Bits. Even with the chance I can't make it it is still cheap.

Guys I'm going to do a group buy some Jetstar plane tickets for Vic Champs, departing 7am on the Friday then return tickets on the Monday tonight. Let me know if you are keen and I can book them all at the same time. There is an option that I'll book the ticket to Melbourne and your can book your own return flight.

I will need payment via Paypal if you are keen.
To Mel:

Jetstarrers, how much is their 20kg checked baggage allowance?

Reason I ask is that Virgin have a sale on as well now with Syd-Melb and back $89 ($95 with the 23kg allowance)...

20kg

Not sure what they are charging but its $139 return with luggage not including booking fees.

[Peppas]

Yeah good call KJ, B don't forget to add luggage

[PeteyD]

25 kg is $23 from Bris to Mel

Correction, it's $143 so the luggage fee is $16.50

[Dotty]

About the same as DCS from Syd. to Mel.

Although Dotty Courier Service will take days rather than hours.

Apologies:

It has been brought to my attention that I have not delivered the sad news. Unfortunately RM is out for these dates. The post I made about courses being 99% confirmed should have mentioned this and I apologise for leading you on.

The course we have 99% confirmed is another gem on the sandbelt and (without giving too much away), has played host to an international championship in the last 12 months. IMHO it is actually better than RM East.

Coolies...looks like Jetstar it is!
