Merdeka Gala Dinner 2007

Hello everyone!!

Thanks for coming to our BBQ this afternoon and we hope everyone has enjoyed it as much as we did!! Despite the hot sun, it was great meeting both our old and new members again. Quite a number of you guys were actually enquiring about the Merdeka Gala Dinner and here you go, a detailed email on it!!

The Merdeka Gala Dinner is a collaboration between several Malaysian associations around Brisbane, including UQMSA. More efforts and funds have been put in this year because it's our 50th Anniversary and also because of the huge success of the event in the previous years. Our theme this year is "A Walk Back Into History" and the dinner will be held in the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on the 8th September 2007 from 6.30pm to 12am. Guests are required to dress in traditional or formal attires.

Tickets are priced at AUD60 for non-Malaysians, AUD55 for Malaysians and AUD30 for chidren 12 & under. But, as long as you're a UQMSA member, you'll get the Malaysian price at AUD55. What's more, if you buy in pairs, you'll only have to pay AUD105 instead of AUD110. We're going to our limits in subsidizing you guys, don't you just love us?

We'll be selling the tickets starting next week, all the way till a week before the event. So get your tickets asap before we run out of them!! Our booth will be set up near main refect next Thursday from 12pm to 4pm and for the consecutive 2 weeks, it'll be on Wednesday from 12pm to 4pm as well.

Wanna know what's worth the AUD55 you're paying for?
The event includes performances such as silat, band performances, multicultural dance, Sumazau dance, choir performances and so on. Not forgetting our exotic Malaysian cuisine!! Just one more thing, there'll be lucky draws!! Come on, be patriotic for our 50th!!
