Avoid disappointment. Book now for the B.I.N. bus trip to The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion Light Show at Bendigo

Tickets are moving along for Ballarat Interfaith Network's bus trip to the Vesak Light Show at The Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.

We booked our first cluster of chairs yesterday. Bridget at The Great Stupa was quite excited.

It is important that you book soon - or you may miss out.

If you have friends who want to come, it is important for you to book together if you wish to sit together.

The way the chair bookings (and it is vital that you have a chair if you wish to make the most of viewing the light show) are managed at The Great Stupa is that if your chairs are booked in one cluster and your friends book later and go into another cluster, it is unlikely that you will be seated together.

In short, please book soon to a) avoid disappointment and b) to expedite chair bookings at The Great Stupa. Tickets can purchased on Eventbrite or by contacting Brigid OƇarroll Walsh on Facebook. To learn more about the meaning of Vesak, please go here.
The above poster is self-explanatory.
To book and pay for your tickets on Eventbrite,
If for some reason, you find difficulty
with purchasing your ticket this way,
please ring Brigid on 0477 477 658
and she will find a way to assist you. 
We do need you to book early -
not only for our own organisational purposes
but to allow B.I.N. to book your chair
for the light show.
You can help us to fill the bus quickly
by emailing your friends with a link to this blogpost
and by downloading the poster above
and placing it in your faith, work, & education placesces.
