Reunion venue decided

After much deliberation and several field visits, the Reunion Organising Committee has settled on the Uni Pub in Civic as the site for the Reunion (see map below for location). The venue is central, relatively new, very plushly furnished and has ample free parking adjacent to the Reserve Bank building.

The Reunion is booked for Saturday 25th August, which will give people from interstate time to prepare and book accommodation etc. So far we have people wanting to come from Brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Kickoff will be 7:00pm and the venue will stay open till about 1:00am.

We have booked the entire Executive Club, which is on the third floor of the Uni Pub complex. Access is by either stair or elevator, though smokers will have to come back to the ground floor to indulge.

Ticket costs are yet to be determined but should be in the vicinity of $20. This will include venue hire, music, food platters (there will be plenty of food) and a door prize. The ticket price does not include drinks however the Uni Pub is very reasonably priced for a Civic location.

A bank account for direct debit of ticket purchases will be established or can be paid in person to Alan Dalling at R1. (Looking for a volunteer in CP to accept same.) Further details will be announced as they become available.

If anyone has any photographs of Defence Central Registry functions or other situations that they would like to share, could they contact the Committee here to arrange for them to be placed on the website. From memory a couple of the Xmas parties were videotaped so if anyone has these we would love to get our hands on them as well.

At this stage we have contacted about 80 ex staff members and have had confirmation of attendance from 44 people. We really need to try and send the website details to as many people as possible to get numbers up so if you can think of anyone, please pass them on. Partners are most welcome to attend.

Another pre-Reunion drinks will be held, following on from the small get together at The Phoenix bar a few weeks back. Keep watching for more info.
