Venue Announcement: World Diplomacy Championship 2011

After assessing more than 20 potential venues, I'm very pleased to advise the 2011 World Diplomacy Championship will be held in the

Seaview Function Centre at the Coogee Bay Hotel, Sydney.

• The Seaview function room hosts up to 120 people banquet style, well separated from the busy Hotel.
• Room has natural light and a huge open air verandah with stunning beach views
• Room is available from 9am - 11pm daily (Sat 1st Oct - Mon 3rd Oct)
• The Hotel includes multiple bars, beer garden (with giant screen for Rugby World Cup games) and brasserie
• Coogee accomodation options from budget to boutique, as well as two backpackers hostels within 5 min walk.
• Coogee Beach is located just 15min from Sydney airport (~$25 taxi fare), and 20min from Sydney CBD by bus or car.
• All the expected beachside cafes and shops...
• etc, etc!

Big relief to find a great beach location that showcases Sydney to our International guests and will be a very attractive tournament venue.
