It's on again! Canberra Girl Geek Dinners #2 will be happening on Saturday the 4th of April. Ruth Ellison will be our speaker, with a presentation titled "From apples to eye surgery: designing useful user experiences".
Date: Saturday, 4 April, 2009
Time: 7pm for a 7:30 start
Venue: Indian Affair, Colbee Court, Phillip
RSVP: In the comments for this post - please remember to tell me your name and whether or not you will be coming with a guest
We've booked out the restaurant for the night, and I have arranged for a banquet. If you do have any special food requirements, please let me know in your RSVP, or email me at loquacities(at)gmail(dot)com.
Unfortunately, we are still short a sponsor, so again you will need to cover the cost of your own meal. The cost of the banquet is $32.00 a head, so please remember to bring enough cash to cover the food and any drinks you might have on the night. The restaurant is BYO bottled wine only, and some alcoholic drinks are available from the bar.
Of course, if you don't want to have to keep on paying for these, have a chat to your boss, your colleagues and your friends, and encourage them to sponsor a great event!
See you all on the fourth!

Rae - no guest
Tammy - only requirement is some dishes being mild.
TammyJ, that's no problem, I think it's safest to stick to mild/medium in this situation (not that I don't love a good hot curry myself!)

This night sounds interesting i would love to come along. No special requirements. I found this group through Facebook and have forwarded the link to a couple of friends.
Meg
Hi Meg, and welcome! Thanks for passing on the word.
L
I will definitely be there this time. Hooray! See you all then :)
Hehe, thanks Pia. See you then!
Hi again!
I'd love to come as well but once again I can't convince Kate to sponsor me. If Ruth or someone else would be willing to sponsor me I would very much appreciate it.
Have fun,
Paul
Paul, I'm sure we'll find a willing girl geek for you again!
L
I'd love to come (no guest), and I would also like something mild.
Is there a dress code or anything for it?
Hi Joanna, mild is the word!
Dressed is about all we ask for, so whatever you feel comfortable in. Cost is mentioned above, although that will all change once we secure a sponsor.
See you on the night!
L
Definitely tempted :) No guest, and something more than mild please :)
