A
Angela
Hello, Flanders conference hotel.
M
Man
Oh, hi. I wanted to ask about conference facilities at the hotel. Have I come through to the right person?
A
Angela
You have. I’m the customer services Manager. My name’s (Example) Angela. So how can I help you?
M
Man
Well, I’m calling from Barrett and Stansons, we’re a medical company based in Perth.
A
Angela
Oh yes.
M
Man
And we’re organizing a conference for our clients to be held in Sydney. It’ll be held over two days and we’re expecting about fifty or sixty people.
A
Angela
When were you thinking of having it?
M
Man
Some time early next year, like the end of January? It’d have to be a weekend.
A
Angela
Let me see...our conference facilities are already booked for the weekend beginning January 28th. We could do the first weekend in February?
M
Man
How about January 21st?
A
Angela
I’m afraid that’s booked too.
M
Man
Well, let’s go for the February date then.
A
Angela
So that’s the weekend beginning the 4th.
M
Man
OK. Now can you tell me a bit about what conference facilities you have?
A
Angela
Sure. So for talks and presentations we have the Tesla room.
M
Man
Sorry?
A
Angela
Tesla – that’s spelled T-E-S-L-A. it holds up to a hundred people, and it’s fully equipped with a projector and so on.
M
Man
How about a microphone?
A
Angela
Yes, that’ll be all set up ready for you, and there’ll be one that members of the audience can use too, for questions, if necessary.
M
Man
Fine. And we’ll also need some sort of open area where people can sit and have a cup of coffee, and we’d like to have an exhibition of our products and services there as well, so that’ll need to be quite a big space.
A
Angela
That’s fine, there’s a central atrium with all those facilities, and you can come before the conference starts if you want to set everything up.
M
Man
Great. And I presume there’s Wi-Fi?
A
Angela
Oh yes, that’s free and available throughout the hotel.
M
Man
OK.
A
Angela
Would you also like us to provide a buffet lunch? We can do a two-course meal with a number of different options.
M
Man
What sort of price are we looking at for that?
A
Angela
Well, I can send you a copy of the standard menu. That’s $45 per person. Or you can have the special for $25 more.
M
Man
I think the standard should be OK, but yes, send me the menu.
M
Man
Now we’re also going to need accommodation on the Saturday night for some of the participants... I’m not sure how Many, but probably about 25. So what do you change for a room?
A
Angela
Well, for conference attendees we have a 25% reduction, so we can offer you rooms at $135. Normally a standard room’s $180.
M
Man
And does that include breakfast?
A
Angela
Sure. And of course, guests can also make use of all the other facilities at the hotel. So we’ve got a spa where you can get massages and facials and so on, and there’s a pool up on the roof for the use of guests.
M
Man
Great. Now what about transport links? The hotel’s downtown, isn’t it?
A
Angela
Yes, it’s about 12 kilometres from the airport, but there’s a complimentary shuttle bus for guests. And it’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the central railway station.
M
Man
OK. Now, I don’t know Sydney very well, can you just give me an idea of the location of the hotel?
A
Angela
Well, it’s downtown on Wilby Street, that’s quite a small street, and it’s not very far from the sea. And of course if the conference attendees want to go out on the Saturday evening there’s a huge choice of places to eat. Then if they want to make a night of it, they can go on to one of the clubs in the area – there are a great Many to choose from.
M
Man
OK. So if we go ahead with this, can you give me some information about how much ...
