Brisbane Release Party - Location?
Jared Norris
At the meeting last week we decided it was about time to start
planning the release parties and the first point of business is the
booking of a date, time & venue.
The main criteria for a successful venue are:
* Fairly central
* Accessible via public transport
* Able to site 10 - 20 people comfortably
* Accessible to minors
The venue suggested at the meeting was the Kedron Park Hotel (
http://www.kedronparkhotel.com.au/index.html ) as it's fairly
centrally located. There was a question of if this will be accessible
to minors or not so I posed the question to the venue and their
response was:
"We allow minors in the restaurant area so long as they are
accompanied by a responsible adult ie a parent or guardian figure and
not an older partner or sibling. The minor isn’t allowed to enter any
area of the hotel that partakes in gaming, cannot approach the bar and
naturally cannot consume alcohol. So long as there is a reasonable
ratio of adult : minor there shouldn’t be an issue with licensing.
Please let us know if there is any more information you require at
this stage, or if you would like to make a booking. "
So I guess the next question - is it accessible for public transport?
If you are thinking of attending and you usually use public transport
please provide some feedback on how difficult this location would be
to get to on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

So does the lack of response indicate approval or disapproval for the
suggestion? Either no one can fault it so haven't added much or no one
supports it so don't want to say much. Don't be shy, feel free to make
your voice heard.

I've set up the obligatory doodle poll to determine the best time/day
for the Brisbane event at http://www.doodle.com/6z7sw9rbvvgu5rkr
Please, anyone and everyone that is thinking of attending should
register whatever their preferred times are so we can make sure we get
as many people along as possible (unfortunately we can never please
everyone).
Anyone else wanting to hold release parties in other locations should
probably also start thinking about finalising places, dates & times so
there's enough time to publicise them. I've always found doodle polls
useful in this regard but feel free to use other methods if you'd
prefer.
Once times, places and dates are all formalised/agreed upon/decided
please make sure the events get put up on the loco.u.c page -

Sorry mate, I thought I'd looked up to make sure there were no big
events that weekend but obviously I missed that one. For the sake of
fairness I'll add in the dates/times for the following weekend as well
just in case that proves much more popular. What it means is though is
that the people who have already voted will need to edit their vote if
they would like to add preferences for any times on the following
weekend.
Thanks for bringing it up and we'll see what people want from here.

Apologies all, it would appear this is the case. It did not ever state
it would delete all the data when I updated it and when I checked it
afterwards it did appear to retain the information but shortly after
deleted it all.
If you were one of the few who had already nominated please do so again.

Just to give some warning I expect to lock in a time and date on
Sunday evening. So if you want to have a say in when it is head over
to http://doodle.com/6z7sw9rbvvgu5rkr as soon as possible. Hope to see
some new faces!
