Correcting this, as [SAS] said, I was wron g it is on a sliding scale.
However the sliding scale starts with immediately loosing 50% of total 
fee. (Not just losing you deposit, as one would expect).

>   - People mumble various things at each other.

I'll add my mumbling, in responce to [NEO]'s suggestion that we "Put the 
file server on hold, so we can afford the dinner"
my responce: "We are the University Computer Club, now the University 
Eating Dinner Club."

Honestly, I don't think we should be outlaying more that $3000, unless 
we can be making the event really good for the clubsobjectives.
I've heard that past UCC dinners have had Tech Talks etc.
If we could get some sponsorship from a big IT employer in Perth. (I'ld 
be hitting up IBM, Bankwest and iiNet),
in exchange for them being able talk at us at the event.
Get really sorted with some great speakers,  past members, people with 
cool tech knowledge, etc.
Then maybe we can justerfy $5k+
