I need an 18+ Card!

Some of you may have already discovered that you need a passport or an 18+ card for clubs, pubs and bars. A driver's licence from your home country or your UQ student ID card will not do!

If you haven't already got an 18+ card, here's what to do:
Take
1) Your passport; and
2) at least one other form of ID with your printed name, photo, signature e.g. home country driver's licence, bank/credit card, birth certificate ...etc.

To a Queensland Transport Customer Service Centre listed in the White Pages.

Go West With SAC - WINERY TOUR - 27 May 2006
So you're interested in a day away from the fun of study, books and the library. Well the SAC is proud to present its Go West Winery Tour next Saturday 27th May up to the garden city of Toowoomba.
 
Leaving at 8.15am from the UQ bus loop, we’ll be heading about an hour out of Brisbane to the Scenic Rim and Warrego Wines. After a guided tour of the winery and the chance to sample some of their wares, we’ll get back on the bus and head for historic Toowoomba. Following a quick tour of the town and the amazing leaves of Queens Park, we’ll head for our destination, the magical views of the Preston’s Peak winery. Here we’ll stop for lunch and sample the best they have to offer before departing for our final winery of the day, Rimfire Vineyards and Winery, and then heading back to the UQ bus loop by 6-6.30pm. 

The day will be a chance for you to sample Brissie’s local wine region, and buy some of those last minute pressies for everyone back home, as well as fantastic day away from exam prep.

 
Tickets are strictly limited, so if you’re keen, be sure to get in fast. You can pick them up for $25 on Friday, 19th May 2006, between 11am and 12pm or on Tuesday, 23rd May 2006, between 2.15 and 4pm in the courtyard outside General Purpose North (Building 39A). Tickets will not be available outside these times and will be sold on a first come, first served basis only.

SAC Thursday Sessions @ the RE

SAC Thursdays @ the RE are a great opportunity (excuse) to have a drink or two, meet some new people, and really soak up the atmosphere of the local Uni pub. SAC Thursdays @ the RE will happen fortnightly throughout the semester, and are your chance to touch base with your fellow SAC members about what you've been up to over the last couple of weeks, and to get to know some 'true blue' Aussies while you're at it. Give us a call if you've got any questions, or you can even checkout the RE's website (www.rehotel.com.au). Otherwise, just rock up on the night and look for the Aussie flag.
