Message from Kev - 12/8/09

 

Hi again,

            Ok had a chat with Tony R yesterday to plan things.  So here are some more details;

 

Venue – BAE Systems Office (my office) @ 78 Northbourne Ave Braddon ACT…City centre is just a 2 minute walk.

  

 

 

Start – 2pm

Finish – Whenever (that’s why it’s at my company)

Taxi from airport = around $20.00

Accommodation…heaps around.  Parliament is not sitting so should be ok.

Below are closest to the venue.   These are four star or more…cheaper stuff is available down Northbourne Ave a bit further….

Tony R and I believe that $60.00 per head should cover food & drink.  For food we are looking at having it catered by Golden Roast….They do the lot……Drink will be beer/ wine & soft drink.  If you want something stronger then bring it along cause there is no bar available…..  We will also get some BBQ stuff for a late night snack as well as nibbles etc….

 

I will probably have to pay a deposit for the catering and am happy to do that personally….for those who have Internet banking, and would like to deposit money, an account has been setup under my internet banking. 

The BSB is CONTACT KEV, GRAHAM, or TONY FOR DETAILS and account number is CONTACT KEV, GRAHAM, or TONY FOR DETAILS  for those who are happy to forward it that way.  Name on the account is Kevin J Slavin….. Please advise your name under the transaction description so I know who its from…..if it works better for you, just bring it on the day…..I am happy to buy all the necessities and worry about it later….

 

So from guys, all we need at this stage is firm numbers.  Please include partners etc…

 

Again guys, if you need a hand getting here let us know.  It will be great to get as many as we can….

 

Any questions just fire….
