Full steam ahead

Hi Guys,
Last weekend I was in Penang and did some work there and as follows:-
1) Stayed at the Gurney Hotel & Resort, located in Gurney Drive, down town, rooms big, all suite all facitlites
Available, swimming pool, spa, bar, function rooms, ball room The rate I got was corporate rate RM 170 night, double or single. I discussed with them and requested them to offer the rate for the event. Basically room with breakfast and a sit down Chinese dinner in a function room, to provide special check-in desk, a hospitality suite and the date is checking in 31st July and checking out 2nd August.
I think the location is good and hotel facilities meet our requirement, we could have a hawker food but in a special place, opposite The York Hotel, which is walking distance. Let is see their offer.
2) Could not meet Auyong San Foong as he was in Penang, but met Bosco Chow ( Chow Teck Yoon’s son ) as he is in BM and a physiotherapist would be a key person to get thru to Yap Eng Hai. Subramaniam got through me and have asked him to get in touch with rest of the Indians, also explained to hem what we are trying to do and he seems excited. However, have not asked Bosco Chow and even Goh Siew Chong to join in as they are of the 1959 year. I now have Goh Chu Ting’s E-mail and mobile number and nearer the event will get in touch with him and others.
Regards,
Teddy
