[committee] 40th Anniversary Dinner

[Sam Moore]

Another option is the Royal Restaurant in East Perth.
We've been there before, but they didn't offer function packages last time.

Apparently they can cater for 20-100 people.
They also don't have a cancellation fee until 2 weeks before the event.
It's also a lot cheaper.

I like this because it could just turn into a regular dinner, but if we 
organise it early
(as opposed to two weeks before) there is potential to expand.

They list the food as "finger food", I don't know how substantial that 
would be for dinner.

If we decide not to book the Hilton, I will contact them for more 
information.
I also recommend other people get some more information about their 
alternatives.
Rather than just say "Find somewhere better!" That way we can choose 
between several things.

It's not really fair to expect one person to research *every* 
alternative, which is what
we have been expecting of [SAS] so far.
