Hi @keee99 , thank you for your submission! Just to check whether the Dance studio venues have already been booked by your club?

[keee99]

The event is during our normal training time. While it hasn't been booked, we are planning to book it as part of the normal start-of-term venue bookings. However, if you can book it now to help secure the location, that'll be helpful.

Cool! Understood

Hi FUNKtion, thanks for writing the proposal !

Regarding the venue of Dance Studio 3-5, would it be alright if FUNKtion explore to use Dance Studio 1,2,9 instead of Dance Studio 3,4,5? Unfortunately, we are unable to acquire a booking for MPH for our DiscoverSUTD-2021 Supper with Seniors event due to changes in the booking requirements.

Tentatively Supper with Seniors dates & time: 16/9, 20/9, 21/9, 22/9, 23/9, 27/9, 28/9, 29/9, 30/9 8:30pm - 10:00pm

We noticed a clash in our event dates of 20/9, 23/9, 27/9, 30/9 7:00pm - 10:00pm

We considered using Dance Studio 1,2,9 for the other dates, however, as there are 8 Supper sessions and there is a need for tables and chairs, Housing would prefer if we use the same Dance Studio instead of the other vacant studios to prevent the staff from shifting the furnitures around.

If that is ok, we will help with the request of booking for Dance Studio 1,2,9 for 20/9, 23/9, 27/9, 30/9, 7:00pm - 10:00pm. Below are the capacity details: Dance Studio 1: 12pax Dance Studio 2: 8pax Dance Studio 9: 10pax Total capacity: 30pax Dance Studio 1 and 2 can be combined.

@castlemas Hello, we have difficulty in doing so as we cannot split our session into different venues, thus the shift of venues will cause us to lose venue capacity that we may need. We are in the midst of discussion, is it ok if we reply to you by Monday night?

@keee99

Sure, it's alright! I am really sorry for any inconvenience caused.

@castlemas

Hello, I regret to inform that DS1, 2 won't be able to accommodate the pax limit that we are looking for, which may affect our membership, and we are also planning to have showcases which require space that DS1,2 do not provide. Additionally, we cannot use DS9 as the studio is not linked and we only have 1 instructor per session. Thus, we are unable to switch the venues. Sorry for the inconvenience!! ://

@keee99

Ah, alright. I just spoke to my OSL, lets compromise! We will be using DS 3,4,5 on the dates that do not clash and DS 1,2 on the other dates. We have a small favour to ask from FUNKtion team...

In the case where this Scenario happens: Supper held at DS345 on 21/9, after Supper ends, we might not be able to move the chairs up to DS1,2 for our next Supper date 22/9 as the doors might be locked. The Supper team would stack the chairs aside at DS3,4,5. When the next day arrived and the doors to DS1,2 unlock, could I trouble FUNKtion team to come earlier so that we could move the chairs and set up the Supper venue at DS1,2? Also, do note that as the tables might be too big to move to DS1,2, there is a chance that the tables (cohort classroom long rectangle ones) will be stacked at the corners of DS345.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you xx

@castlemas Sorry for the late reply! As Ignatius replied on telegram, we are willing to help and provide manpower to shift the furniture and set up the venue. Please do inform us of any further instructions that we may need to know! :)
