Transport to proposed future venue? (was Re: [activities] Re: activities Digest, Vol 39, Issue 7s)

(twiddled subject to be relevant, in accordance with the suggestion at the
top of the digest)(removed tons of unrelated content to spare those with
poor bandwidth and/or antiquated mail readers)

The 433 bus travels from Circular Quay via Wynyard station and the QVB, and
then pops over to pyrmont, travels all the way up Harris st, drops people
off at the casino - directly outside the door of Google. Going back the
other way it picks up from underneath the casino at the tram stop, across
the road from Google. If you're coming from Town Hall, this is probably your
best option.

Because it serves the casino, this bus runs every 20 minutes right through
until 1am.

If you're coming from Central and don't mind the extra cost ($5.70 return)
you can also catch the tram - it both sets down and picks up from the stop
under the casino, across the road from Google. Again, serving the casino
means that it runs late: every 15 minutes until 11pm, and then every 30
minutes right through till 6am.

Another option if you're coming from Central, or from Ryde (or along
Victoria Road between Gladesville and Rozelle) is the 501, which stops a few
blocks away; it runs every 30 minutes right through the night.

>> Subject: [activities] Trial a new venue?
>> Hello SLUG members,
>>
>> We are considering trialling a new venue for our May meeting. Google
>> Sydney has offered us a meeting area in their new offices at Level 5,
>> 48 Pirrama St, Pyrmont.
>>
>> While Atlassian has served us well, there are several reasons why
>> Google might offer a better option. There is increased space,
>> particularly for SLUGlets, and free wi-fi.
>>
>> On the downside, it is farther from a railway line and from Golden
>> Harbour. It might be better to dine elsewhere. Suggestions are
>> welcome. Also, the security arrangements are stricter: you'll need to
>> sign up for a name badge (preferably >24 hours before the meeting to
>> avoid queueing up), and entry after about 7pm is more difficult.
>>
>> Any thoughts?
