PREDICT Dinner
A PREDICT members dinner will be held on Thursday evening 9/3/17 at The Seamstress Restaurant & Bar in the City, at 113 Lonsdale St, Melbourne. This restaurant offers modern Asian cuisine and we have secured a banquet for $65pp. Our table is booked for 7.45pm. Please indicate if you will be attending the dinner via Trybooking (see “Registration” for details).
Payment of $80 per person (which allows $15 for drinks) 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 8/3/17. New Zealand members to pay Marian or Cate on the night with the correct money please. Again, no shows will still be charged so it is really important that you are planning to attend if you have indicated that on the Trybooking registration.
