A word from the CEO

July 10

It is hard to believe that we're already half way through 2010, yet the coming months herald exciting times with the launch of Vikings Dollars! This is an innovative promotion for our Members to convert their weekly grocery shop at Coles Chisholm into bidding dollars for over $50,000 of prizes. Details are on page 4 & 5 of this edition.

Over many years the Vikings Group has always endeavoured to provide quality facilities, promotions and entertainment for the enjoyment of its members and guests, and this is certainly true today. The wide variety includes offerings from John Paul Young to Dorothy the Dinosaur at The Auditorium, to Annie and the Armadillos for the Vikings Chisholm Dinner Dance - something for all ages!

Due to the overwhelming response received from the Letters to Juliet Movie Screening, The Vikings Group has teamed with Limelight Cinemas to present a selection of opening night screenings throughout the year. This month is the highly anticipated Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz with double passes (including the pre-movie Cocktail Reception) for only $10. Tickets will be available from Vikings Town Centre from Monday 5 July.

The two weekly badge draws currently total $54,000 so ensure you are at your Club on Wednesday and Sunday evenings for your chance to win. The introduction of the FAFAFA links at Vikings Erindale and Vikings Town Centre are proving popular with Members in an environment where you can be assured that responsible gaming practices are paramount.

Our food has come to the forefront with the popularity of the "Dish of the Month" across our venues continuing and the introduction of Sunday Brunch at Benhams. The Winter Wine Dinner to be hosted by Gingers at Vikings should not be missed along with the Christmas in July Luncheon at Vikings Lanyon.

You can be confident that The Vikings Group will continue to strive to present value in its services and facilities in an atmosphere of comfort and friendliness.

Peter Webb
