To all the schools participating in AEROFAIR 2016:
Due to requests from a number of teachers from the participating schools, we (the organizer for AEROFAIR 2016) will offer another option for the schools to attend the Briefing Day.
The original plan for the Briefing Day on Thursday, 23 June 2016 (3 pm to 5 pm) will continue as usual. In addition to this original time, we will offer another time for the Briefing Day on the same day but in the morning, that is, on Thursday, 23 June 2016 (10 am to 12 pm).
This offer of another time option is because the teachers found the original time to be inconvenient due to the following reasons:
- Because this event will be conducted during the fasting month of Ramadhan, many prefer to arrive home from work well before sunset to break their fast. This could be difficult for participants who have to travel back from the USM Engineering Campus in Nibong Tebal after the event to their areas in the Penang Island or in Seberang Perai Utara.
- The traffic from Nibong Tebal towards north is normally quite heavy after work, particularly on Thursdays and Fridays. This would make it even more difficult for participants to arrive home before sunset.
To facilitate the organization of the Briefing Day for these two separate times, each participating school will be contacted by the secretariat of AEROFAIR 2016 to confirm their attendance in either one of the times offered. Alternatively, the schools can also call our secretariat to confirm their preference of the time. Their contact numbers can be obtained in this page.
