Shouldn't he be doing his PhD?<br /> Do we need after dinner speakers? Mike Parker always funny<br /> <br /> '''Contract update'''<br /> <br /> Marquee - not included in venue contract, deal with Field and Lawn directly. This avoids a 7% handling fee from the event. Hawthornes (elec contractors) seem helpful so looks easier to deal directly. CG to arrange meeting with them at AGI HQ.<br /> WiFi - details in contract include 9am-6pm support and if there are significant outages then they refund 50% of the WiFi fee. JM suspects they will not accept this, but it highlights the importance that the LOC place on the WiFi connection. JC remembers a complaint system from Victoria that would allow users who are having difficulties to log their complaint at the time. Having people register means we can monitor the numbers<br /> Hotel rooms - seems to be ok, minimum of 350?!?<br /> Need 2 cheques - i) 20k for venue ii) one for marquee but not sure how much.</div>
