<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ed Morris has very kindly arranged the traditional informal Council dinner in Helsinki at the Restaurant Suomenliinna Brewery for Tuesday June 28th. 2016. Meet
at 18:30 at the Helsinki Marketplace to catch the 18:40 ferry. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The restaurant is on Suomenlinna, an island in Helsinki that is a UNESCO world heritage site.

This
being Helsinki, the last sitting at the restaurant is 19:00 with closing time being 22:00. The sun shall still be out, however, and Councillors will of course be welcome to further explore the island if they wish following the dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">We will get there by taking a ferry from the Helsinki Marketplace. It's about a 15 minute boat ride and costs a few euros: the same as any other form of Helsinki
public transport. We should endeavour, if possible, to get the 18:40 ferry. There is a ferry every 20 minutes or so on the return so Councillors will have the option of returning as a group or individually. If we're not all there by 18:40 there is a19:00 ferry
that should also be OK. Ed will arrange to repurchase the transportation tickets needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
