Monday night in Toowoomba is usually the quietest night of the week, but that will not be the case this year as this is the chance for all ASCILITE delegates to hit the town and make merry with friends old and new.

We have compiled a list of some of the iconic establishments in the CBD and around the City Golf Club giving you a range of cuisines, prices and timings with an aim of meeting all tastes. Dine Around options will give you the chance to wine and dine with a group of friends/delegates with a common interest (think about the ASCILITE SIGs, or  Mentor/Mentee meetings), for first timers to meet the faces behind your favourite paper, or even put some faces to those Tweets.

On the conference website we have provided details of all the restaurants and will have sign up sheets available at the registration desk. Start thinking now about who you would like to dine with, and where you would like to go. Of course, there is no obligation for you to dine at any of these establishments but we do recommend all of these.

However, we understand if there are some difficult choices ahead, given your options and the fantastic location of the conference dinner.  You might like to visit other places on the list during the week. Other options for casual dining – particularly over the weekend -are the newly-completed café and restaurant precinct of Grand Central Shopping Centre, and the cafes and eateries at Waltons Stores.

We are looking forward to a chance to chat, reminisce, and make new memories with friends old and new.  Start making your plans today because there are less than twenty sleeps until the conference (a thought either exhilarating or terrifying – depending on whether you are on the organising committee, or an attendee).
