Thursday Notices – 28.9.06

 

This is your Thursday emailout of notices for 28.9.06 to club members and interested parties on Yahoo groups regarding club matters and upcoming events.  It means you will know to check your email on Thursday or Friday for club notices.  On the other hand, if you have something to include please let me know.  Current news is below:

 

Maruyama Sensei Seminar Update – please read this if you are coming

The Brisbane Koretoshi Maruyama Sensei Seminar October 5th-8th, at Griffith University is now booked out.  There is a tiny bit of squeezing space so if you want to attend please send me an email today or tomorrow.  Remember, Thursday and Saturday are full.  Please pay as soon as possible if you haven’t coughed up yet.  If you can’t pay till the day for some unusual and exotic reason, then you must make those arrangements with me.  Otherwise you may be turning up without a place.  We don’t want that to happen.  Payment of seminar fees (or letting me know what you’re doing about payment) equals confirmation of your place at the seminar.  It will make things much simpler during the seminar and you won’t be held up at the registrations desk.  My phone number is at bottom of this email if you need to call.

Note:   Prepaid persons will basically wave hello to us at the registrations desk as they walk in – well, we have to tick you off but it will be very simple.  Others will be held up paying (there are no exceptions – Danny has paid so I doubt very much he’ll be impressed if you think there are exceptions!!)

This is important too - If you are coming to the seminar and are planning on bringing additional guests to the dinner please let us know for catering purposes. The dinner venue will be at the fabulous Griffith Campus club which we have booked out for the evening and includes a live band. http://www.griffithcampusclub.com.au
