Workshop Dinner (Thursday 31 January)

Dinner is at "Young Alfred" 31 Alfred Street (just opposite Circular Quay train station), arrival between 6:30pm and 7pm. Table is booked for "Alan Fekete". If you won't be coming to the dinner, please email to alan.fekete@sydney.edu.au, so we can adjust the booking.

If you want to come by public transport, a group of us will leave immediately after the panel session of the workshop (about 5:30), to walk to Warterloo Road and catch a bus. There are several different routes that can work; one is shown on the attached pdf (route 294 going to Wynyard); alternatively you can catch a "SL4" train replacement bus every 10 minutes going to St Leonards Station, and from there get on a train to Wynyard. From Wynyard its a short 800m walk to the restaurant. The bus or train requires an "Opal card" to pay for the trip.

The meal is Italian cuisine. It has a selection of starters on the table, then each person can choose one main (vegetarian pizza, vegetarian pasta, steak, or fish) and then one dessert.
