PREDICT Dinner
A PREDICT members dinner will be held on 5/12/16 at Criniti’s in Carlton, a pleasant 20 minute walk from the Larwill Hotel. This restaurant offers southern Italian cuisine and we have secured a 3 course Christmas banquet for $60pp which is excellent value. Our table is booked for 7.30pm. Please indicate if you will be attending the dinner via Trybooking (see “Registration” for details).
Payment must be made prior to the dinner as we will be charged for the number booked, regardless of numbers attending on the night. The deadline for payment is 1/12/16. New Zealand members to pay Marian or Cate on the night with the correct money please. Again, no shows will still be charged $60 per head so it is really important that you are planning to attend if you have indicated that on the Trybooking registration.

PREDICT will cover the expenses (accommodation and airfare) for one member from each organisation involved in PREDICT research to attend. Additional members attending from the same site will be required to cover expenses using alternative funding sources. (Please note: incidentals such as taxi fares, airport parking fees, meals etc. WILL NOT be covered).
Accommodation
Rooms have been reserved at a corporate rate at The Larwill Hotel, which is very conveniently located next door to the hospital. If you would like to book a room at The Larwill, please email Marian.Chandler@mcri.edu.au with your name, mobile number and IN/OUT dates. Please DO NOT contact the hotel yourself. If you wish to book via Marian at the corporate rate you must email your request NO LATER than FRIDAY 11TH NOVEMBER 2016. After this date the rooms will be released and pricing and availability will no longer be guaranteed.
Alternatively, you may also book accommodation elsewhere yourself and be reimbursed at a maximum limit of $200 per night for the room rate. It is expected that most members will require a two night stay. If you require additional nights, please contact Marian to obtain authorisation if you require reimbursement. Any additional costs incurred such as meals or mini bar are to be paid on checkout by the individual.
