[FOSS4G-Oceania] Fwd: Icebreaker Location Change

[Daniel Silk]

Update

The Shaw Davey Slum got back to us again today to say that their other
booking has now been moved and we can use the venue once again. This was
after asking for the refund to be processed.

I wasted time looking at other options and John visited other venues, so I
asked for $250 credit as reparation for the inconvenience (they had
previously offered $250 credit on a *future* function).
They've agreed to that so our $1500 payment now gives us $1750 credit.

So.. no location change after all. Will get it back up on the website soon!

Hi all

The Shaw Davey Slum asked to speak to us today regarding our booking - I
gave them John's number and they let him know that they had double booked
us prior to receiving our signed contract.

They have provided some alternative venues but they're downtown, further
from our workshops.

I've emailed the Prince Alfred Rooftop and Bar on John's recommendation,
which has recently been renovated and is extremely close to the University.
They've already got back to me and confirmed that they don't have any
bookings that clash so John is going to visit and check out the space they
can offer us tomorrow.

They're also owned by the same group as the Brunswick Mess Hall, and they
haven't double booked us yet ...

I will provide another update soon with the new venue proposal, cost, etc.
We had paid the minimum spend at the previous venue in full ($1500) so will
also need to have that refunded.

Cheers
Daniel

PS. The Shaw Davey Slum has already been removed from our website, location
now TBC!
