Members and experts function on power generation and apology
Dear ,
Please forgive us. I've just discovered that our website had not allocated you to the correct mailing list, so you've probably not been getting any of our mail outs and been wondering what was the point in becoming a member of the AIP.
Not sure how I can make it up to you, but I've just spent a couple of hours manually adjusting lists, and will give it some thought over the next couple of days.
And you would have missed this one, sent out earlier this week, which is about a workshop on electricity generation we are calling a "ThinkShop".
The foundation of any modern society is cheap, reliable power, and after around 100 years of providing just that, current state and federal governments seem intent on jettisoning that policy in favour of expensive unreliable power.
That's why the first of our Ten Big Ideas for Queensland is a new power station - this has got to be one of the most important issues in the next state and federal elections.
Now is the time to flesh that idea out, along with other issues for power generation in Queensland and Australia.
As one of our members I'd like to invite you to participate in a "ThinkShop" to develop our ideas in this area further.
It will be held on Thursday August 31, starting at 6:30pm, in the Connor Court Book Room, Suite 2, 146 Boundary Street, West End.
(The Book Room is at the top, and on the right, of the staircase next to the Green Grocer. Cheap metered parking is readily available on Vulture Street, just around the corner, and you might get lucky on Boundary Street itself.)
A list of discussion topics will be circulated early next week to those who indicate they are interested in attending.
If you can come, please let me know by Monday next week, at the latest. If you are interested, but can't attend, please also let me know, so I can include you in all of the online discussion.
We will organise some food and drink, and spread the cost over those who attend, so don't worry about dinner.
Thanks to Anthony Cappello and Connor Court Publishing for allowing us to use their space.
And please accept my apologies for our mistake.
Regards,

Graham Young Executive Director Australian Institute for Progress
