Hey XTC - Just a thought - the Honda Indy 300 will be on in Surfer's Paradise on Oct 25-28th (www.indy.com.au). It may be an idea to put on the conference around the same time so people travelling here can kill two birds...I guess accommodation could be a bitch but Indy week is un-bloody-believable (don't forget the Indy Undie Ball
I'm based here on the Gold Coast so if anybody needs any help on accom/things to do or just someone to go drinking with - ICQ me 110609192
