Farewell BBQ

The majority of our functions are being held at the magnificent venues located at Dockside Apartments / Snug Harbour and Captains Cove, all located at Ferry Street, Kangaroo Point, Brisbane.   Map Reference BRIZWAY Q15.  50 of our group are already booked into Dockside Apartments.

Greg, the owner of Captains Cove has provided a breakfast consisting of bacon, eggs, toast and tea/coffee or fruit juice for only $10 per head.  (normal price is $25)  Breakfast is available to all intake members and their partners along with family and friends, daily from 0800 – 1000.

I feel sure that everyone would agree that $130 p/h for a formal dinner with band, a Lord Mayors Reception, an after march function with plenty of music to dance to and a farewell BBQ is an excellent price.  Having compared our prices with a number of other re-union groups we are hundreds of dollars cheaper, with our venues all being a class above the rest.  Also consider the possibility of getting refunded some of your money. This is our main aim.  Your support with our raffle and Calcutta is paramount
. Information on the Calcutta will be provided at a later date.

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank your hard working committee, George Picone, Dave Morris, Ed Marecki and Sharon Johnson.  Sensational work guys.     BZ     Well Done. 

Special thanks also to: John Curbishley and Pete Brimacombe - your support and hard work is very much appreciated. 

On behalf of our intake it gives me great pleasure to see everything come together and it has been great speaking to most of you already.  For those I haven’t been able to contact yet, I will get to you in the coming months. 

Please Note: Given the current economic climate regarding fuel & living costs, if we experience any venue price increase, the sale of raffle tickets will pay for the increase. So again this highlights the importance of our raffle. 

Thanks one and all 

Cheers   Bob

EGISTRATION

Have you sent your $25 Registration money? 

We require registration payment URGENTLY to cover venue deposits. 

Please note your $25 Registration money (per head) will de deducted from your final four day function costs. Your registration money is totally separate from your accommodation costs.  We must meet venue booking costs and stationery costs now. 

Check our Website for updates and we will keep you up to speed on a regular basis as information is made available to us.  i.e. Position in the March and Step Off Time etc.  You can also give Bob a ring at anytime on the numbers below.  If you are talking to anyone please pass on all information if they are not on the net.  We will be sending out all information in the mail; however we would also rely on the info Network to have details circulated.

Please forward your four day function costs of $130 per head ASAP as this will help streamline and speed up the registration process.  With registration taking place between 1200 – 1700 on Thursday 23 April, we do not want to be processing large numbers who have not paid all outstanding monies.  Particularly seeing we have to be seated by 1730 for an 1800 Entrée.  Your hardworking committee have done an outstanding job to have us where we are at present.   

Please support us in making the registration a quick process. 

We also need your arrival and departures times for the 4 days of functions.

NEW BANNER

We are getting a new banner made up which is going to be something special. Still waiting on confirmation from everyone regarding what recognised operational areas you served in. We must have official documentation confirming your operational service. Cut off date is 14 December 2008.

To enable us to pay for the new banner we are asking for 50 cents per week from each intake member commencing 1 Aug 08 – 31 Mar09 which works out to be $22. Thanks for your support. Any monies left over will be refunded.

RAFFLE
We are conducting a raffle to raise funds which we hope will enable us to reimburse some of your four day function costs.  Our aim is to give all intake members and their paying partners cash back for each person to spend as they see fit.  WE WILL NOT BE PUTTING IT OVER THE BAR 

You will receive raffle tickets (100 or 50), and as you will see the tickets are extremely generously priced. 

As of the 10th July 2008 we have 43 prizes, one of which has been donated by our own Alan Stehr (Thanks mate). 

We are asking each intake member to source sponsors or raffle prizes.  It would be sensational if we could have 50 prizes or more.  Ask your local newsagent for scratchies or anyone who would consider supporting us. Ask your local electrical goods retailer, your local pubs / clubs etc. HAVE A GO.  Please let me know ASAP if you have any success with prizes, cash vouchers etc via email or phone.
