Accommodation Update

A very quick accommodation update for everyone, even shorter than our previous quickie issue!

After much negotiation, our venue has offered us a generous 15% discount on our room rates. You can find a link to make a booking on the Venue page on our website.

Keep in mind, like most industries, there are often pop up specials on many popular hotel booking websites, so if you find a better deal at our hotel - the Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport Hotel - or any other nearby hotels, snap it up. Take the best deal you can …

A Quickie: Short and to the point

Like Giamo Casanunda1, this version of Broomsticks and Cauldrons will get down, quite low, into the nitty gritty. Time's a-wasting; it's that time of year; Nullus Anxietas X draws near. Brooms ready, schedules marked, and no faffing about: here's what you need to know, and nothing you don't.

Witch Trials! Upcoming Upgrade Cutoff! Buy Stuff!

Greetings from the desk of Miss Tick, and a Happy Hogswatch to you all.

Guests Galore! Astounding Activities! Upcoming Upgrade cutoff!

Good day.

It has come to my attention that the latest issue of Broomsticks and Cauldrons - a publication which continues, against all odds and editorial restraint, to exist - has found its way into your hands. One might reasonably ask why. Perhaps you seek knowledge. Perhaps you are merely curious. Or perhaps, most concerning of all, you believe yourself to be a practitioner of the arcane arts.
