    Similar to last year's Dragon launch, the Perth Mint has graciously extended an invitation to the members of the Silver Stackers forum to attend the launch of the 2013 Year of the Snake Lunar coins at the Perth Mint in Western Australia in September, on Monday, 3rd September 2012.

    At the event, Ron Currie, Perth Mint Sales and Marketing Director will give an overview of the 2013 bullion coin series and guests will view an audio visual presentation of the latest designs. Following, guests will be permitted to purchase the range from The Perth Mint Shop prior to the retail store opening to the public at 9am.

    Also similar to last year, The Perth Mint will impose product purchasing limits on the popular sizes from our Australian Lunar Gold and Silver Coin Series, so bulk orders or volume break discounts will not be possible. Limits will be advised closer to the time.

    Due to security requirements, the number of guests for this event will be strictly limited, and all persons wishing to attend will need to provide their FULL NAME in order to be added to the door list for early admission into the mint at 8am - this is strictly enforced, if you're not on the list, you will not be admitted.

    I've been getting requests from a number of people for a few months to advise if such an event is occurring this year - and there is a lot of interest from interstate members to attend, so in order for a chance for people to find out about this event in time, registrations will not be accepted until 10am Perth time / 12pm Melbourne time, this Friday 29th June. Separate registration threads will be opened at this time for local and interstate members to register their attendance (so don't book flights just yet!).

    Please do not buzz on this thread or contact the mint direct to try and secure attendance - the forum has been asked to coordinate the guest list, and in expectation of this event being more popular than the numbers permit, some thought is being put into ensuring that there's a fair chance for every member who is interested to attend. Needless to say there's going to be a strong contingent of Perth locals attending - the east coast isn't totally invading :)

    So get ready for the Year of the Snakes, registration will open Friday!

    [ins]UPDATE - Fully subscribed, no spots left[/ins]

    Just joining the list of desperadoes trying to register.

    I keep sneaking out of my place of employment, running down to the Apple Store in Perth, to log on using their PC's, to bypass the firewall at work!

    In terms of demonstrating commitment to this event, prior to registrations being made available, I claim 10/10 for effort.

    On that basis and to avoid getting sacked for being truant at work - can I claim a seat at this event - prior to registration being made available.

    Cheers

    BG

    My bad! Is that the time already - looks like a late lunch today :(

    Any members that buzzed on the other threads and aren't listed above, please post below. There's a maximum seven spots remaining - there's already six requests for "plus ones", this is your last chance to register before it's opened up to requests for plus-ones to be taken into account.

    If for any reason you need to pull out, please give me as much notice as possible, as we have until late July to confirm any late changes with the mint for security purposes.

    Fully subscribed. Will be contacting people this week for required details for the mint's security requirements.

    If anyone finds that they cannot make it, or are no longer bringing a plus one, please advise as soon as possible so that your spot can be offered to another member.
