It might not be as nice as a lecture theatre, but perhaps something like this:

G'day all, The SLUG committee were informed this afternoon that UTS will be charging us for the use of their rooms as of next meeting. They want $607 per meeting, that's with a non-profit discount. SLUG cannot afford this, at least beyond the upcoming meeting. The committee is going to try to arrange a sponsorship deal with the UTS Faculty of IT or UTS themselves, but we don't think this can be done in time for next week's meeting. I've also been in contact with IBM, however they don't think they'll be able to organise a venue in time for next week. So we're hoping that someone in the community can help us out. If you know a venue, or work for a company than can organise a venue fitting 40-100+ people, is close to public transport (trains especially), is inexpensive (preferably free), and available for next Friday's meeting, we'd love to hear from you. At Pia's community panel a few months back there was talk of a possible venue change to the University of Sydney. This would be ideal, although it is late in the peice to set in motion. We don't want this to be the end of our 12 year relationship with UTS, but unfortunately if we can't work out a deal, it looks like it will be.
