If anyone in Canberra wants to attend this event, the details are here for booking:

I'm still hoping to get Brian Schmidt to sign some items for auction and am still looking for items to auction at the event (thank you Petra, your donations are being stored safely).
If anyone can suggest what might appeal (apart from...for instance...a full astronomy package worth $lots and $lots which we don't have the funds to source) then that would be gratefully received.
