<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for flagging this. I have discussed with Steve and Nellie and on this side we are OK with making it a “no-charge” event. But I guess we shall have to require registration, and even then, vet applicants before we can confirm them
to ensure that we have the “right crowd”? <span style="font-size:12.0pt">Happy to hear your suggestions on how to manage this.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

now and I will be going to the venue in about to hours so check on proposed spaces so this feedback can be helpful.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Hi Portia,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We talked about this yesterday, and tomorrow morning Nellie, myself and a couple others from the local team are going to the venue to scout out exhibition space, meeting spaces etc... we can also find out what the modalities for an event-based rate would
be.<o:p></o:p></p>
