OK, thought I'd better get in first as I already have a few ideas.

Friday - I have organised one of the suites (for a reduced rate) for the weekend which will be able to accommodate the traditional pizza and poker night providing numbers are similar to previous years.
Saturday - Dinner at the Gold Coast institution that is Mario's Broadbeach. Order a large pasta dish and you'll have enough carbs to walk four rounds! Moderately priced and quick service. Duck over to Kurrawa Surf Club for some drinks or plenty of other options for those looking to hit the town. Retreat back to the suite for a nightcap.
Sunday - International Seafood Buffet in Four Winds Revolving Restaurant and recovery session back in the suite.

I'll take a show of hands for Mario's at a later date but they have seating for at least 250 so shouldn't pose a problem.

It is... But as I suggested, it can be a little slow.

What time do you get in on Thursday, Courty?

Where are you boys staying on the Thursday?I haven't worked out where I'm staying yet. Would there be anything at the Crowne that we could book (assuming there are enough of us to make it worthwhile)?

Shavey, what is the seafood restaurant gonna cost us Sunday night?

golfbound
16th September 2013, 01:18 PM
if its still the same price as when i was commenting and he said there was a $25 short fall that would make it $34 for the seafood buffet. Bazaar is $59 and he said its $25 less than that.

Lobsta
16th September 2013, 08:34 PM
Bazaar is $69, but even $44 is super cheap for Four Winds.

was $59 sunday to thursday they must have just changed it. $44 is cheap for four winds just dont leave your man bag on the window sill it will take an hour for it to get back to you.

No, but they've got a pretty good view from the tiles.

No,

Seriously? Any red meat at all?

Nah, they do non-seafood meals for you uncultured slobs.

The good thing about the view from the tiles is that it constantly changes so you don't get bored. And if you time it right, you can be going past the bar just as you finish your drink. It's very convenient.

But I'm telling you, going to Four winds for red meat is like going to McDonald's for a salad.

OK, I trust everybody is joining for dinner in Marios on the Saturday night? If no, let me know ASAP as I'll be making a reservation next week.

I'm hopeful that with our numbers that we will have a complete section to ourselves.

shavey
14th October 2013, 09:59 PM
And this is completely voluntary but a gold coin donation for entry into the penthouse each night would be appreciated. Didn't factor into account all the charges for the upgraded room type which will leave me a tad short.

This will be in addition to the obligatory money collecting, pizza bouncer.. calling The Ferrit!

Is it Mario's or Four Winds? Is it $44 or $75?

Pizzas on Friday, Marios on Saturday, Four Winds on Sunday. No chance for a reduced rate in Four Winds Saturday, both sittings are usually full.

Pushing for everybody to pre-order Saturday night at Mario's as they usually only do set menus for groups over 20. These prices start from $35.00 so doubt we'll get many takers on that. Not to mention our tradition of carbo-loading with pizza on the Friday.

Keep you posted..

shavey
22nd October 2013, 02:45 PM
OK, got the go ahead to pre-order at Mario's but I'll need an overview of how many children might be coming along. Also, we'll be slightly split up over a few groups of 10 (40 pax) so not all meals will be delivered at the same time but this is the best case scenario.

Appreciate if somebody could be responsible for collating this information, just one less thing for me to worry about.

Just confirmed with the Dir of F&B, we have a rate of $49.00 for dinner in Four Winds on the Sunday night. I've booked for 20 which covers a few people with partners.

Public rates went up a few weeks ago so the discounted rate did as well. Hope you are all still keen as the new menu rocks!
