===========

Dear guests,

As it turns out, this year’s MCF will not be taking place on the Menzies Lawn after all. We were notified by the university authorities on Friday that the venue would not be available due to logistics concerns. Therefore, we had no other choice but to relocate the event.

The new location is the Multi-level car park (Building 71), next to Monash Sport and South East Flats, which is a mere 5min walk from the Campus Centre.
