Bangladesh: The Bradt Travel Guide Book Launch party, 1 Oct, Dhaka, click poster to see full size
After many months of research, photography, writing and editing, Bangladesh: The Bradt Travel Guide is finally ready to be released! Books are now on their way to Dhaka for a big launch bash, held on 1 Oct at the Australian High Commission Recreation Centre, otherwise known as the Aussie club.
We hope you can join us for this special launch event, which will also double as the normal Aussie BBQ and fundraising evening. Authors Mikey Leung and Belinda Meggitt will both be present at the event: this is your chance to meet the authors and take home a signed copy of the new guide.
We are also raising funds for our friends at Jaago, who operate a school for disadvantaged children in Dhaka and also run a hospitality training course for young adults.
Finally, we are much indebted to the Australian High Commission for allowing us to host this event using their facility.
Details
The event is open to all expat club card holders and members of the general public.
Non-club card holders MUST e-mail the Australian High Commission to register their attendance in advance at ahc.dhaka [at] dfat.gov.au.
Costs
BBQ: Tk900 (you don’t have to eat to attend); Children Tk400; Tk100 will be donated to JAAGO from adult cost.
Book Cost: Tk1,800

Dear Mikey and Belinda!
Finally the wait is over!
Congratulations!
So far I followed, the book seems to a very genuine book about Bangladesh and its natural beauty, people,culture etc lovingly experienced and documented!
Good job!
Sorry I couldn’t attend the BBQ party because I am too far away.
Looking forward to see the book in bookstore soon…..
Best,
Kawsar
Best of luck for the book launch. Wishing its success.
