The Newcastle Speakers Club Dinner for 2012.
Venue:     H&B (Corner of Hunter and Bolton Street Newcastle, F'mr ANZ bank)
Time:       6:30 pm - 10:00pm
Cost:        $45 per person (incl coffee and some soft drinks but BYOG)
Dress:      Smart Casual - no need for the jacket or tie, just whatever you would wear when out for a nice dinner with friends
           
The venue is so new that it does not have a license yet (or tables and chairs for that matter), so we are hosting our own party and bringing our own food and bev.  So we have decided to make it a BYOG event.
 
What to expect:

You will have exclusive access to the newest, most stylish, wine bar in Newcastle.  So new that you will be experiencing a highly chic 'industrial' theme.

The location is the former ANZ Bank in Newcastle, on the Corner of Hunter and Bolton Streets.  The current working title for the bar is H&B which is the name that the other ANZ branches used when refering to this branch.  The building is historic and grand and you will get to see the place before it is transformed.

One of the owners Tim Bohlsen will be ther to provide a guided tour of this historic building and outline his plans for the site.  You will get to see the bank vault and see what a perfect wine storage place it is.

Of course you will also hear from some of our speakers.

Speeches and Presentations from:
Tim Bohlsen (owner of H&B)
Tony Troughear (owner of Beer)
Lucinda Warner


Plus the awarding of the Tony Samway Trophy
