Subject: [SLUG-ANNOUNCE] Slug August meeting --- next Friday (August 29)

== August SLUG Monthly Meeting ==

When:
 18.30 - 20.30, Friday, 29 August, 2008

We start at 18:30 but we ask that people arrive 15 minutes early so we
can all get into the building and start on time. Please do not arrive
before 18:00, as it may hinder business activities for our host!

Appropriate signage and directions will be posted on the building.

Where:
 Atlassian[0], 173-185 Sussex Street, Sydney  (corner of Sussex and
Market Street)

Entry is via the rear on Slip Street. There are stairs going down along
the outside of building from Sussex St to near the entrance. A map of
the area and directions can be found here[1].

Dinner is at Golden Harbour Restaurant, in Chinatown. We will be having
the $24 Banquet[3], but we will be collecting $25 per head for ease of
accounting and to cover a tip. We will be taking numbers during the
break to confirm the reservation size. If you have any particular
dietary requirements (e.g. vegetarian), or if you would prefer to order
separately, let us know beforehand. Dinner is a great way to socialise
and learn in a relaxed atmosphere :)

We hope to see you there!
