    Default 2014 VIC Champs - Getting around

    Seeing as people have flights booked and are keen to get hire cars / rides booked also, let's get some things organised here... Post away and I'll update the table as we go...
    As mentioned previously I'm fairly certain I'll have a sizeable trailer that we can put stacks of gear into so if guys need to book 4 to a car we should be able to work something out.

    Hey Lefty,

    I will have my ute there, so while I will only be able to give one person a lift, I can fill the back with clubs etc.
    For anyone getting there early or leaving late I will be in Melbourne the Wednesday before the champs and not leaving until the Wednesday after so may be able to help early arrivers/late leavers

    This is my 90% locked in as far as I can 5 months out plan.

    Driving down solo Thursday monring - should be right to shuttle 1 or 2 around for the weekend. Assume Melb airport ETA approx 12:30 to 1pm.

    SuperMario has already commandeered a seat so there should be room for one more.

    We are looking to hire a car there for the weekend.

    I'm on the same flight in as PeteyD, but I'm not sure about the outbound flight.
    I haven't organised a car or lifts yet.

    Yep I'm on QF480 arriving at 12.05pm. Happy to share a car with you both.

    I think Simmsy and Shadesy are leaving on Sunday as they're not playing on Monday so I'd appreciate a lift with someone to golf on the Monday.

    I'm flying out of Melbourne at 5.00pm on the Monday.

    Im getting in at 10:30 Thursday morning but not going back to the airport Monday ( sticking around for another week) so Happy to throw someone some coin to help me get from airport / around each day or chip in for a hire car. Wouldn't be advisable for me to hire it myself rates will be super high .

    I'll be driving, with my wagon. I don't think anybody is flying into Avalon, but if they are, I'm driving past there on Thursday and Friday for pickups. I'm also happy to swing across to Tullamarine if we're short on for cars on Thursday.

    I'm not staying at Chateau de Andigold, but I'll happily pick up/drop off on the way past for the Melbourne days. I'm no help on Saturday morning/Sunday night because I'll be catching the ferry and staying overnight at the accom (although happy to carpool with anybody coming across to do the two-day peninsula jaunt from somewhere to the west of Melbourne).

    Note, I can't guarantee that I'll get you there with time to spare for practice.

    I've had a thought. Who is going to be sober enough to drive my car each morning/afternoon?

    One reason to get a car is to avoid a incident on the tiles.

    I can get a Liberty/Camry through RACQ for about $300 from the 6th to the 10th. A bit more for a falcon a bit less for an i30. Seriously considering this option.

    Just don't piss for an entire round of golf + 3 hours and all the alcohol will come out in one hit (and then you can go straight to bed)

    Maybe we should do a roster up for designated driver. I'm happy to stay sober at least one of the four nights.
