Advance weather forecast here

Please double check the table in post#1 to make sure your accomm and golf details are right.

Thur, Fri, Sun accomm: andigolds Park View Hotel on St Kilda Rd. He's supplied us the very generous rate of $62.50 per person twin share, with option for people to room up as 4's for below $50 a head. An absolute steal to be so cheap so close to the CBD. No prepayment required, one person in each room to put up a credit card on check in & then just pay on checkout. 10 days before for final numbers is enough notice.

Sat accomm: Here. 15 people officially booked in for Sat accomm. $70 a head.

Fri golf: Southern GC. $60, carts are an extra $45, pull carts $5 hire. We have the last 5 groups booked from approximately 12:30 onwards. Should give interstaters arriving that morning a bit of time to get to the hotel, or straight to the club and have a quick meal or drink. Daylight no issue for any of these times as Daylight savings will be in full swing.

Sat golf: 6 tee times, 12:00PM onwards at St Andrews Beach. Cost will be $85 & includes cart or $69-50 without. Please note if you decide prior you don't want a cart but then want one on the day they will be $40.

Sun golf: Confirmed, 5 slots, 9:20AM to 10AM at Moonah Links Legends Course. Cost of $95 & includes cart.

Mon golf: Spring Valley GC - 7:56AM hitoff. Cost of $82.50, no cart.

So, a total of $200 for golf on Saturday & Sunday, with $20 going towards prizes. Or if you wish, please pay the full $342.50 for all four rounds golf, or the full payment for whatever rounds you are playing + $20 for prizes. Full payment preferred but instalments OK too. Final payment by 22nd Jan 2013.

Meals / activities:

Thurs night: Had in Lime restaurant @ Parkview Hotel. Chicken was magnificent but the Lamb Wellington is still my choice here.

Fri night: BBQ and salad had. Some regurgitated. Andy has provided a conference room for "activities". They will be good fun and include the all important BYO alcohol (which some should steer clear of next year!).

Sat night: BBQ at St Andrews Beach Golf Club. Drinks must be purchased from the club but we can bring whatever else we like. FG can get hold of some meat (stop sniggering you lot!) and salads. Need to know final numbers a week or so before. Probably around $10 a head to cover costs.

Sun night: Was the awesome idea of Chinatown with beers @ Young & Jacksons hotel.

[timah!]

So, anyways, Popper/Lucas/Timah/???

[PeteyD]

I'm in.

[popper81]

Welcome aboard..... Was it the baby oil that won you over?

[LarryLong]

No mate, that is a little weird.

Cover him in baby oil, and dress him in a nappy.

[PeteyD]

Spooning with timah

[Lucasto23]

Make sure to remind me not to free ball after my shower boys

[PeteyD]

It's like a football trip, group showers right?

[popper81]

It's like a camping trip, no showers right?

Fixed

[PeteyD]

The spa might get a bit mucky then.

[muldude]

May have to organise my own accom with all this homo talk

[LeftyHoges]

I think I must be getting caught up in the hype. I'm almost wishing I don't get the extension here in Laos so I can be home for this.

So does that mean you're more no than yes for this Bruce?

Im 75% shazza is 25%

I like those odds. After all, what's yours is hers. So now you're both at 75% Pete.

It's like a football trip, group showers right?

Interestingly enough, the site says very little about bathrooms, just 4 available. A little strange. Maybe they are group showers?

The Saturday night accomm will be BYO brekkie too. If you think you'll be able to keep it down, that is...

[LeftyHoges]

May have to organise my own accom with all this homo talk

And miss out on all the "fun"???

[andigold]

Guys there are 5 rooms that can sleep 4 at the hotel and I have put a hold on 2 of them but the rest are all still available and are likely to remain that way as we usually only sell them all as family rooms on Saturday nights.

I can also do single rooms at $110 bed & breakfast if some of you boys are worried you snore too much and need your own cone of silence

To let you know Andy we have 5.8 booked for Thurs night, 10.8 for Friday night & 10.8 again for Sunday night. The decimals take into account BenM @ 80% chance and 2 others at 50% chance count as 1 person.

When will you need to know firmer numbers by? And do you require any sort of pre-payment?

[andigold]

No prepayment required lefty, one person in each room will have to put up a credit card on check in and then you just pay on checkout.

10 days before for final numbers is enough notice.

Alright, you heard the man ladies and gents. To make it a little fairer on Andy I'd like to have everyone knowing exactly what they are doing room wise by the end of the year at the latest. Extenuating circumstances forgiveable (ie pregancy etc.)

[LeftyHoges]

OK, show of hands time.

For those staying friday night, given that Saturday night will most likely be a BBQ at St Andrews Beach Golf Club, would you rather have a BBQ with salads for tea on Friday, or a Roast meat, veg and curry and rice type dishes? No prices but both would be fairly cheap.

[popper81]

Lefty,
Given my athletic shape, you maybe be surprised to know, that I will eat anything... If I had to vote though, I would go BBQ and salad, could do that everyday in summer.

[Courty]

BBQ & salad for me too.

[timah!]

I may be AWOL Friday night for a while...

[LeftyHoges]

I may be AWOL Friday night for a while...

Bar 20 or Goldfingers?

[muldude]

BBQ and salad here as well

[timah!]

Bar 20 or Goldfingers?

Which one will give me the LeftyHoges discount?

[LeftyHoges]

Most...

[timah!]

Ha!
Nah, my cuz-e-bros moved to Melb from across the ditch earlier this year. Could be a good chance to see them.
