	Sunday 25 November 2012
1400 – 1600	AES Council Meeting Drovers Room, The Woolstore Hotel

Afternoon	We suggest you visit MONA during Sunday afternoon and experience the museum. There is also a free concert being held at MONA in the afternoon: Standing in the Shadows on Motown MONA. http://www.mona.net.au/what’s-on/events. Allow yourself a couple of hours and then meet at 1600 for a drink with colleagues. Drinks will be served in The Void at MONA. MONA is showing a montage from insect inspired horror films in the museum theatrette during the afternoon from around 2.45pm. Think scenes from “The Fly”, “The Swarm”, “The Deadly Mantis” and “The Woman in the Dunes”. The MONA curator is scouring the archive for footage. As the concert is being held, we will organise some dedicated coach shuttles at 1pm and 3.30pm. If you haven’t already booked transfers to MONA (on their coach, ferry or a bike) you can book a coach time with us. The coaches will return at 6pm and will cost $20 per person return (same as the MONA coach). Pay on the day, but email us the time you wish to book to MONA – 1pm or 3.30pm. We will register delegates from 12.30 – 1pm and from 3 – 3.30pm at the Old Woolstore. If you are heading to MONA earlier we will have all the name badges to give out in the Void at 4pm too.
1600	Registration at MONA
1600 – 1745	Welcome Drinks at MONA
1800	We suggest you book this return time when booking your ferry ticket.
