Supa drupa BBQ sizzles with sponsors and party bus galore

Drupa's Aussie BBQ attendees won't have to worry about losing their sense of direction. Getting to and from the picturesque Kaiser Friedrich Halle venue in Mönchengladbach from Düsseldorf will be made easy with the help of a party bus.

The bus, courtesy of BBQ sponsors, will collect revellers from two locations in Düsseldorf and return them home after the festivities.

If you haven't already done so, now is the time to book your ticket for the Aussie Night BBQs - the major networking function for Australians and New Zealanders attending drupa08. The BBQs will be staged on the Sundays of 1 and 8 June 2008 in a traditional German beer garden.

The BBQs are opened to all and revellers are guaranteed a great time with strong support from a growing list of sponsors including Agfa, Heidelberg, Fuji Xerox, PaperlinX, Tharstern Australia and the new additions of the Currie Group and HP Indigo.

Printing Industries national communications and technical services manager, Joe Kowalewski, welcomed the Currie Group and HP Indigo as sponsors.

"Having such good sponsors ensures that the camaraderie will be strong and provides a unique opportunity for the kind of social networking that has always been a high point for the Australian contingents," he said.

"Our party bus will make the short journey to and from Düsseldorf even more enjoyable for those who want to use it and for the many already staying at our head hotel in Mönchengladbach, well the beer garden is a short walk down the road. However we will be on the lookout for those needing a helping hand having weathered the wearying elements that drupa tends to produce."

BBQ tickets can be booked online via this link, via the www.printnet.com.au website or by contacting Theresa at Printing Industries on (02) 8789 7300 and by e-mail supadrupa@printnet.com.au.
