2021 Bench & Bar Dinner - Allocation 4 Tickets Available NOW

09/03/2022

2021 BBD – Further Event Update – Extra Allocation Message

Allocation 4 tickets for the 2021 Bench & Bar Dinner, to be held on 25 March 2022 are now LIVE via the ticketing website. Please note Allocation 4 tickets will only be available until Tuesday, 15 March 2022.

Further to our last message, all Waitlist holders will have been contacted by the Association. If you have not received a message or cannot find it please reach out to events@nswbar.asn.au where you will be offered your tickets.

Allocation 4 tickets will be seated within the Maritime Ballroom and tables will remain of 8.

We remind you that the dinner will be held on Friday, 25 March 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Sydney. Arrivals will be from 7pm with Introductory Remarks to be made at 7.50pm. As such, we ask that all guests please be seated no later than 7.40pm.

The dinner will take place simultaneously within the Grand Ballroom and the immediately adjacent Maritime Ballroom.

An additional change we would also like to note is that, due to COVID requirements, the pre-dinner drinks usually held in the pre-function space outside the ballroom will regrettably not be able to occur this year. All guests may instead enjoy drinks with those around them at their tables.

The updated COVID-19 safety measures that will apply to this event are set out below.

Updated COVID-19 safety measures for ALL attendees

By agreeing to attend this event, you agree to comply with any COVID-19 safety measures imposed by the NSWBA.

These may include, without limitation:

• socially distanced dining.

• being “fully vaccinated” (as defined in the Association’s vaccination policy as amended from time to time).

• COVID-19 positive persons and those designated close contacts will be unable to attend. Further, those who have COVID-19-like symptoms will not be admitted unless they are able to provide confirmation of a negative Rapid Antigen Test.

• attendees must pre-register for the event, show their ticket at the door and check-in using the Service NSW App if asked by staff on the day of the event.

• attendees must notify the Association if they test positive to COVID-19 in the 7 days following the event.

You further acknowledge that the NSWBA reserves the right to rescind the right of entry to ticket holders with minimal notice should the NSWBA determine that numbers need to be reduced or capped due to COVID-19 or any other WH&S considerations.

We would like to note that while these changes are being made now, the execution of the dinner itself on 25 March 2022 will be dependent on the prevailing COVID restrictions and government mandates at that time. We will ensure that all ticket holders are kept up to date in this regard.

We wish to assure members that the running of the dinner across both the Grand & Maritime Ballrooms will not affect the overall quality of the event. The viewing and dining experience of all in attendance will continue to remain a priority. Our goal is to cater for as many members as possible and create a truly one of a kind night for all involved.

Our hope is that the 2021 Bench & Bar Dinner will provide a collegiate atmosphere which has not been able to be offered since the pandemic began.

We continue to appreciate the ongoing intricacies that COVID-19 may have on your ability to attend. If you are unable to attend the event, please email events@nswbar.asn.au to discuss refund options.

We remind you that information regarding the dinner can be found at the information website available here.
