Our usual gathering of Queensland Tech Writers at a location in the City (actual venue TBA).

Refreshments are kindly being sponsored by Author-it. As part of the sponsorship, Author-it would like to do a small presentation to the group. The plan is to meet in a boardroom somewhere for the presentation, then adjourn to a local bar.

Register your intent to come here.

Look forward to seeing you there.

It has taken a bit of time to recover from Christmas and New Year and organise another event. But the details of the next Qld Tech Writers Event are:

• Date: Tuesday, 3 March 2009
• Time: 5:30
• Venue: Platform Bar @ Grand Central Hotel, 270 Ann Street (under Central Station – NOT Fihelly’s Bar, but the smaller one next door).
• RSVP: Thursday, 26 February 2009, using this form (or email me).

We are looking for sponsorship for this event for food. If your company hasn’t put a freeze on expenses – we’d love to hear from you :)

See you there.
