Good evening, At the meeting last week we decided it was about time to start planning the release parties and the first point of business is the booking of a date, time & venue.
The main criteria for a successful venue are: * Fairly central * Accessible via public transport * Able to site 10 - 20 people comfortably * Accessible to minors The venue suggested at the meeting was the Kedron Park Hotel ( http://www.kedronparkhotel.com.au/index.html ) as it's fairly centrally located. There was a question of if this will be accessible to minors or not so I posed the question to the venue and their response was: "We allow minors in the restaurant area so long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult ie a parent or guardian figure and not an older partner or sibling. The minor isn’t allowed to enter any area of the hotel that partakes in gaming, cannot approach the bar and naturally cannot consume alcohol. So long as there is a reasonable ratio of adult : minor there shouldn’t be an issue with licensing. Please let us know if there is any more information you require at this stage, or if you would like to make a booking. " So I guess the next question - is it accessible for public transport? If you are thinking of attending and you usually use public transport please provide some feedback on how difficult this location would be to get to on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. -- Regards, Jared Norris JP(Qual) BBehSc(Psych) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JaredNorris -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
