Harmonica Brotherhood of Delhi takes pleasure in
announcing the 2nd IMP Meet at Delhi on 28th & 29th September (Saturday
& Sunday) which should suit to those who are office workers.
Venue: ‘Hari Ram Rameti Devi’ (Bhiwani Wale) Banquet
Hall B.D. Block (Behind Power House), Pitam Pura, New Delhi-110085.It is a well
constructed and spacious multipurpose hall. Pitam Pura, which is on the way to
Rohini Township, is well connected from New Delhi Railway Station, Old Delhi
Railway Station and Delhi Airport by Metro Rail network and other modes of
transport. The Metro Rail station is Pitam Pura and the bus stop is Madhuban
Chowk
Important Information/Guidelines
1) A large number of participants have enquired that,
as they would be arriving on 27th September, will accommodation on that day at
the programme venue be available to them . This was not planned originally, as
this called for extra expenditure beyond what was budgeted. However, considering
the genuine hardship the participants will encounter in case they are to stay
in an alternative accommodation at their expense, we have cut corners and hired
the venue on 27th also at additional expense to provide relief to the
participants. But, they will have to arrange meals etc at their expense. There
are good eateries around the venue.
2) Those who wish to stay at their expense in the hotel
identified by us as mentioned in the earlier post, are requested to inform the
dates for which they require the hotel accommodation .The concessional tariff
of Rs2500 per day is available provided an entire floor having nine double
occupancy rooms is booked. A third bed can be provided at additional charge of
Rs 250 per day. They are further requested to remit the estimated tariff to the
bank account in which the registration fee was remitted.
3) We understand, some of the participants have
friends/relatives in Delhi with whom they will be staying. All such
participants are requested to inform us about this so that we may cut down on
the arrangements.
4) All out station participants must carry valid proof
of identification such as: Voter Card/PAN Card/ Passport.
5) Though the weather is not very cold in Delhi at the
end of September, but like so many glorius and inglorious uncertainties in
life, the weather of Delhi is unpredictable. For their own comfort,
participants are advised to carry light woolens.
6) Participants are requested to inform their travel
plan i.e. the date /time of arrival and departure, the name of the train/
flight number to enable us to guide them to the venue.
7) In the next update information about connectivity
from railway station(s)/airport/ Interstate bus terminus to the venue will be
detailed out.
8 For proper coordination, participants are requested
to address their queries and transmit all information to the email:
