There looks to be 24 people coming. I've just done a bit of research and come up with "Alto Hotel on Bourke", I can give them a call and see if they would have sufficient rooms for us all tomorrow. Quick price calculation for a standard room is $208. Will keep looking tonight.

Many hands make light work and we need to make a decision soon, thanks to everyone who is doing some checking right now.

I also looked at High Tea options. Jenny is right the Sofital looks the Best. Might be nice to finish off on the Sunday with a High Tea. ?

CP, I looked at about 10 hotels yesterday and spoke to the group booking person.  The problems seem to be Cox plate weekend and finding one that has a suitable meeting area.

I feel very guilty that I have not taken an active part in this discussion - I have a huge amount on my plate at the moment and can't see an end until August.  I am catching up with Chookie soon and will see if there might be something I can do to help nearer the time.  At the very least I will be able to do some driving, etc on the weekend.

I am not a happy camper at the moment as I have just found out that we have to attend a wedding on the same weekend as the Forum Fest.  I was really looking forward to meeting everyone and now I have to withdraw.  :( :( :( :(

I hope you all have a wonderful time and I will be thinking of you all enjoying yourselves.

Sorry to hear that Margaret.  I've removed you from the list along with Obbie as I believe she is not able to make it now either.

Alto Hotel on Bourke currently have availability: https://www.bookdirect2save.com.au/accommodation/melbourne/alto-hotel-apartments-melbourne/view-rates.php#room-type 

They have 50 rooms in total. There are currently 24 available on the 23rd Oct, other nights vary. As they are a small boutique hotel they only have a small Lounge where they serve breakfast daily for about 10 tables from about 7-9:30am daily, weekends not. It would get pretty noisy and crowded in there if everyone met at once she said. I will send an email to the reservations manager who comes back from holidays on Monday and see if there is a special group price.

I will keep perusing the web in the meantime as well. Any feedback welcome.

CP did you check out the Welcome on Swanston. While not overly flash the rooms looked clean, it's a great location and the bar area was very big with lots of moveable furniture.

That was so much fun. Our arrangements were so much better.

They certainly were. A pity they didn't appreciate them.
