[PyCon-AU-announce] Updates - Financial assistance, t-shirts, catering

[Brianna Laugher]

Hello fellow PyConAU travellers, here's a few updates.

*Financial assistance applications are due today* *(30th June)*. See here
for details: https://pycon-au.org/about/fin_assist/

*Registrations must be paid by Monday (3rd July) to secure a t-shirt.* This
is so we have enough time for ordering and shipping. There is a free
t-shirt included in some ticket options but these orders must still be
finalised in time. https://pycon-au.org/attend/

This year there is* no conference dinner but there will be a catered lunch*.

In past years there has been a Saturday night dinner. Based on feedback
from last year, we decided that a catered lunch would be more valuable to
attendees than the formally organised dinner.

Catering provided at the conference is as follows:

* Thursday 3rd August (tutorials) - morning tea and afternoon tea.
Tea/coffee station available during the day. *Lunch not provided*
* Friday 4th August (Specialist Tracks) - morning tea, lunch, afternoon
tea. Tea/coffee station available during the day.
* Saturday 5th August (main conference + Django Girls workshop) - morning
tea, lunch, afternoon tea. Tea/coffee station available during the day.
* Sunday 6th August (main conference) - morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea.
Tea/coffee station available during the day
* Monday 7th August (sprints) - lunch. Tea/coffee station available during
the day.
* Tuesday 8th August (sprints) - Tea/coffee station available during the
day. *Lunch not provided*

Food will also be provided for any children in the conference childcare on
Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

In the attendee profile form there is a field for "Food allergies,
intolerances, or dietary restrictions". Please ensure you have completed
this correctly so that we can cater for you. Don't put in a 'joke' answer
here, it just makes you look clueless and inconsiderate.

If you want to take a break and grab your own lunch, there are many options
near the main venue MCEC (Thursday-Sunday). The Sprints (Monday-Tuesday)
venue is almost finalised and will be announced soon, but the options we
are considering have plenty of food options nearby too.

If you have any questions about food or anything else, be sure to get in
touch. Otherwise, grab your ticket and we look forward to welcoming you in
August!
