New Sponsor for UQMSA

Hi all,

QDeck (Q1 Tower in Gold Coast) is offering 10% off student admission price which is valid until 31st December 2009 for all UQMSA members.

This is indeed a good reason to visit Gold Coast and take this opportunity to view the magnificent view of Gold Coast from above.

That's all for now. Cheers.


Warmest regards,
UQMSA Committee
