Sau-vic Gala Ball - Sat 3rd Oct

[R31Nismoid]

Hello everyone.

Some of you might be aware that SAU-Vic is coming into its 5th Anniversary as a formal club.

To celebrate this tremendous milestone in the clubs history, the Committee has decided to have a lavish Gala Ball to mark the occasion!

There is limited tickets avaliable as per below, so do not dither about deciding on coming to this signifigant event.

We have lined up a guest speaker to come along for the night, that person is Dean Canto.

Dean has been highly involved with V8 Supercars and all forms of motorsport since the 1990's so no doubt has a few interesting things to chat to people about!

Dean's website (if you wanna see some more info) www.canto.com.au

The event also has another meaning, all proceeds from the night will be going to charity. There will be a raffle pricing somewhere between $10 and $20 a ticket.

Various prizes are being organise so rest assured there is something of value there, but more importantly the money goes to help those in need.

The Charity is: The Princess Charlotte Alopecia Foundation www.princesscharlottealopecia.com

Dean is an Ambassador for this charity, please take the time to have a read about Alopecia as one day you might be affected or know someone who is.

Discount Accomodation @ the Marriott

As the Marriott is also a Hotel, they have lots of rooms (yes, a surprise I know)… I am currently in negotiation of a deal for discount Hotel rooms for us.

I wont have an answer until late next week. I will update once I deal is struck of course, so keep that in mind.

You can turn a wonderful night into a magical night with someone special

Any questions and so on, please post up here and I will endeavour to answer it (or find out)!

Thanks
