TAM Australia

Chris H · 14th November 2009, 06:15 PM

A rather tantalising tweet from Kylie Sturgess early this morning.

REMINDER - new Skeptic Zone podcast out, with... news about TAM Australia. Yes, you heard it from us first! www.skepticzone.tv.

I'm 35 minutes into this episode (#56) as I type, and the topic has been mentioned, but no details given so far. Is it safe presume that the 2010 Australian Skeptics Convention has joined forces with the JREF to become TAM Down Under? Anyone heard any goss that they can share?

Cheers,

Chris

lionking · 14th November 2009, 06:22 PM

Wow, lets hope so. Pencil me in if it's on.

Alan · 14th November 2009, 06:41 PM

I can't find anything about it around 35 minutes into it (just sad Mind Body Wallet stuff). Can somebody please provide what time it was mentioned?

This is exciting, though. November 2010 is given as a date by Kylie Sturgess on twitter.

There have been rumours around for a while. First I heard about it was as Richard Saunders was leaving TAM7 he mentioned that he was negotiating with the JREF. My co-host on the podcast has also been involved with its organisation. I haven't been crowing at all because it hadn't yet been officially announced. But yes, it is intended the 2010 convention in Sydney be associated with the JREF for the first TAM Australia. Although until I've seen the official announcement on SWIFT I must stress that this is still only a rumour.

Hi Alan,

It's at the end of the interview with Rikki Burns and Thomas Perry. ;-)

Cheers,

Chris

Alan · 14th November 2009, 07:05 PM

Thanks.

I wonder if I'd be able to go to Sydney for it...

I'm certain I can organise a business trip around that time.

arthwollipot · 14th November 2009, 08:14 PM

It's only three hours' drive for me. I may be able to commute...

Australia will be swallowed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster in early 2010 but due to the combined positive vibes from the okkers here, the crystals will align to create a virtual world in which TAM Australia is a certainty!

DISCLAIMER: TAM Australia does not cure cancer.

Madouc · 20th November 2009, 12:47 AM

Apparently it will be held at... The Sydney Masic Centre. Fo serious.

rjh01 · 20th November 2009, 12:59 AM

It is the New South Wales Masonic Club.
Here is their webpage http://www.nswmasonicclub.com.au/index2.htm

It is a four star place. Does include function rooms.

No idea if the rumour is true.

Well, this is sorely tempting. But, even looking a year ahead, Marcello will only be two and I kinda hate to take him to Oz if he's not going to really be able to appreciate that much, yet.

But it's good to see them spreading the TAMs around. Can Macau or Hong Kong be far behind?

We took our Hannah to Bali when she was 11 months old. Of course she doesn't remember it, it it has given us and the other kids countless hours of fun teasing her over it.

Agreed.

rjh01 · 22nd November 2009, 09:54 PM

Just make sure you have rooms big enough. How about you get a list of interested members and then book for that number plus a few more.

Have the following lists
1. Will come alone, come hell or high water.
2. Will come with partner, come hell or high water.
3. Probable will come alone.
4. Probable will come with partner
5. Please keep me informed.

Then what happens when only 20% of them show up?

Did not like your quote so I altered it (alterations in bold). It does not matter how many people actually turn up it is a matter of how many people book and pay for TAM.

That is always the risk you take. You try then to sell them to other people. Even without doing what I suggest you do risk booking the wrong size room. For example if all tickets get sold within 20 minutes that means you did not book a room big enough and you lost big $.

arthwollipot · 22nd November 2009, 11:54 PM

Please remember people! This has not been announced yet! There is still no official confirmation from either the JREF or the Australian Skeptics. Until there is an announcement, there is no TAM Australia.

Better to sell out a small hall than have a half full large hall.

rjh01 · 23rd November 2009, 02:21 PM

It is best to sell the last ticket at the last minute. Anything else is lost profit, either in the form of profit (including people not converted) not made (because you did not book a big enough place) or as you say, unused capacity.

Wowbagger · 26th November 2009, 10:15 PM

If it's going to be in Australia, they should call it Tim-TAM.

(I mean, someone had to make this joke, eventually... right?)
