PRESS BADGES FOR PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT

***

PRESS BADGES FOR ACCREDITED MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES COVERING THE VISIT OF THE PRIME MINISTER WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION FROM THE GENERAL OFFICE OF THE PRESS ROOM, GIS, BEACONSFIELD HOUSE, 6TH FLOOR, AS FROM 10 AM TOMORROW (SATURDAY).

YOU ARE ADVISED THAT SOME FORM OF IDENTIFICATION, SUCH AS PRESS PASSES, NEWSPAPER IDENTIFICATION CARDS OR A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR SHOULD BE PRODUCED WHEN COLLECTING THE BADGES.

THE MEDIA WILL BE GIVEN EVERY POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE DURING THE PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT, BUT LIMITATIONS ON SPACE IN SOME CASES HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MEET ALL REQUESTS AS MOST PRESS POSITIONS HAVE BEEN HEAVILY OVER-SUBSCRIBED. AS A RESULT, IT IS REGRETTED THAT CERTAIN APPLICATIONS FOR PRESS BADGES CANNOT BE MET.

GIS PHOTOGRAPHERS WILL BE COVERING THE VARIOUS FUNCTIONS AND A SELECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE TRANSMITTED OVER THE FACSIMILE NETWORK AFTER EACH FUNCTION. PRINTS WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION FROM THE GIS PRESS ROOM,
