2013 VIC Champs travel, accomm and events thread

[LeftyHoges]

Sorry OZgolf, I promise this will be the last thread dedicated to this event (besides the all important picture thread during, and the fashion awards thread after).

This is so we can figure out who is going where, need lifts etc.

Please let me know your details so I can figure out who we need to pick up from airports etc. Thanks!

[Marto65]

Lefty.

I will be arriving at the airport on Friday Morning. at the same time as AndyP and Iain.

I will be giving them a lfit in the hire car I'm getting. I'm out on Sunday Night, so I will be able to drop them back at the hotel before heading to the airport, I imagine.

[popper81]

Lefty,

My flights aren't booked yet.... But these are the ones i will be on, at this stage.

14th - Arrive 1.15pm Tullamarine
18th - Depart 6pm Tullamarine.

These times were based purely on the fact that, Courty arrives at a similar time on the 14th... And the SEQ boys were flying out a similar time on the 18th ( they are flying to the GC, I will fly to BNE)

[Iain]

Iain and Andy, arrive at 915. Leave at 1530, assuming Andy has accepted the change. I believe we're going to hitch a ride with Marto.

[Monsta]

Lefty,

Benno and myself are covered, own transport (if he doesnt piss me off in the next 14 days )

[AndyP]

Iain and Andy, arrive at 915. Leave at 1530, assuming Andy has accepted the change. I believe we're going to hitch a ride with Marto.

Big assumption, but I did finally do it and chose an aisle seat.

Lefty, now that I will wait and see with monday flights...

[Iain]

But correct.

[BenM]

Maaaaate... I get into Tulla at 10:55AM on Thurs 14th Feb - fly out on Mon 18th Feb at 4:30PM. I haven't hired a car (though I am happy to if needs be) - was kinda hoping to scab a lift to/from the airport. The golf clubs will be in a pretty big case (it fits across the back seat of a large car eg Commodore).

[AndyP]

I might fly into the first course by helicopter, Peter Hudson style. I'm just checking with the OZgolf accountants.

[Marto65]

Havent heard who shotgunned the front seat yet ... the back seat may have some clubs to mind ...

[Iain]

Can't call shotgun til you see the car, can you?

[Marto65]

No idea ... I've never heard that rule ..

Yep, no problem at all with the lift to and from the airport. The only thing is I won't be there until 1ish (that's an 8 o'clock leave from home) to pick up the other boys (Courty and Popper). Can you find something to do for two hours? Maybe one of the other guys can pick you and take you to the hotel? (Calling volunteers!) we can swing through the hotel and pick you up on the way.

[Iain]

Then shotgun.

[Marto65]

You're in.

[LeftyHoges]

Can't call shotgun til you see the car, can you?

This ruling is correct.

Yarp, no probs hanging around at the airport for 2 hours if needs be. My main concern was fitting more than 2 passengers in a car might be a struggle when everyone will have clubs + luggage.

If someone's coming through a bit earlier I can dump some gear at the hotel and grab a feed there before we go golfing, I'm easy either way.

All good mate. I'll have an enclosed 6 x 4 trailer (at the very least, may be able to get a bigger one if needed) for the weekend. Need something to be able to bring all my trophies home in!

Who am I kidding, I need it to bring all the trophies down, that's all.

[Courty]

Lefty, my flight leaves Tullamarine on Monday at 3:20pm. I'll leave it to you to work out what time we need to leave Spring Valley, but I assume it won't be long after completing the round?

[BenM]

Come on, we know that couldn't be Lefty's car/trailer. The colour scheme is horrible.

[WBennett]

We have a 7 hour drive home after Spring Valley, so I can't imagine Monster will be happy to watch me drinking til dark before he drives me home

[LeftyHoges]

Thread changed to include roomies as well. Let me know.

[AndyP]

It was an inspired decision by our captain to pair Iain and I together for the matchplay. Based on this we have decided to carpool, catch flights, share accommodation and shower together.
