Conference Dinner
Join us for a relaxed night of fun and catching up with old and new friends on Friday night at the Cally - a Warrnambool institution. Enjoy Al Fresco dining in the modern beer garden. We know what Warrnambool is like so we can close the roof if necessary whilst still dining under the stars. Menu a la carte. Just pay on the night - but help us out by booking so we can give our hosts at the Cally an idea of numbers. The Cally is at 112 Fairy St Warrnambool. Website www.callyhotel.com.au
