ANNUAL WULLABALLOO CONFERENCE

Good morning everyone, and welcome to the 2nd Annual Wullaballoo Conference on Mastering Computer Languages. I hope you all had a good trip. Before we get underway with today’s programme, let me fill you in as to what’s on tap for 1 , Sunday, February 19th.

At 9:00 a.m. right here in the Main Hall, we’ll be hearing a 2 from Dr John Smith about “Computer as Teacher’’. Professor Smith, from the University of Melbourne, is a world-class expert in the field of computer-assisted 3 , and his talk promises to be both 4 and 5 .

Immediately afterwards, at 10:30, there will be a 6 of papers by various 7 . That, however, will take place in the Garden Room on the ground floor. If you don’t yet know, the Garden Room is also called the Ballroom, and we’ll be 8 at the west end, the slightly raised area called Level 2. Just look for the crowd. If you get lost, there are signs in the 9 .

After all that thinking, talking, and listening, I expect everyone will be a bit 10 . So at 11:15, there will be a break for coffee, cookies, and other light 11 . These will be available at the aptly named Refreshment Stand, placed by the door back here in the Main Hall. Also, if you choose to skip the formal lunch, you can buy a 12 lunch at the stand for a 13 price.

I strongly urge you, however, to join us at the formal lunch. That won’t be till one o’clock sharp, so you have time to stroll about town a bit. We’ll be eating at the Sea View Restaurant. The restaurant is located right here in the hotel, on the top floor. It’s a good dozen flights of 14 , so I suggest you take the lift on the ground floor, eh? If you’re not fond of fish, there is an all-you-can-eat 15 available as well. They even offer wallaby meat!
After lunch, we’ll troop back 16 to Level 2 in the Ballroom for the presentation of further papers, which will begin at 2:00 p.m. Please try to be on time. I know you’ll be a bit tired after lunch, but the Ballroom 17 so with people coming in late. Thank you in 18 .

Once we’ve heard the papers, we’ll break for afternoon tea at 3:10 p.m. No need to walk. The manager of the refreshment stand has 19 agreed to have tea served in the Ballroom. He’s even prom­ised us some special scones, baked from a 20 of his dear old Scot­tish 21 .

Then, tea being drunk and scones munched, we’ll 22 here to the Main Hall for some closing remarks and questions. So, by 5:00 we should have the 23 wrapped up. But the fun isn’t over! This is Australia 24 ! We’ll be flocking to the hotel’s own Palm Lounge on the east side of the foyer for an 25 reception. You can relax, mingle with the other 26 , and let your hair down a bit. This will run from 5:10 to 6:10, though you’re free to stay as long as you like. The 27 manager has informed me that, for the 28 of the actual reception, you can have all-you-can-drink 29 for $20.00 with purchase of an advance 30 .
