Offside Set

GweedsOSS · Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:46 pm A pipedream? Should we try for xmas get together?

One of the downfalls of OSS was that we could not organise pissup in an establishment where beer is fermented and produced.

However I am the eternal optimist (and anyway if I don't get the idea out there nothing will happen - so it's a no loss situation).

How about if the 'OSS' meets for a xmas picnic/drinks whatever?

To make it easy maybe we could meet before the two home matches at park near Telstra Dome.

See the map below. There is Docklands Park, Batman Park, and Enterprize Park.

I know a bit about Batman Park, nothing to scream about, but it is on the River which is nice.

The match with Adelaide is on Saturday 8 at 7.00 pm. While the one with Newcastle is on Sunday 16 at 5 pm.

Otherwise we could meet another time but I am sure your social calendar will be already full to the brim at this time of the year, and meeting before a match near the ground may be the only way that we could meet.

Anyway...it's an idea.

It would be great

I am unlikely to be able to commit, cos I may have family events come up at short notice

but I would try

alas, my cousin has inadvisably chosen that day to get married :|

Not likely at the moment for me, I have massive amounts on my plate and am highly stressed.....but if something does happen, please let me know, if we're having a good day we might be able to make the effort.

Saturdays are always out though, I've got social football. If you all wanted to you could come down to that, it's not at all far from TD....

Sunday 16 is looking up a bit.

My sister will be gone earlier that day, and salsa classes will have finished for the year.

So maybe...

CLMV · Fri Dec 14, 2007 3:07 pm

some other people are also organising a pre-match thing to involve me

we have organised to meet at New Quay from about 3.00

I have solicited permission to invite ye as well.

I'll send details to Rollins and Gweeds, cos I know they were available.

PM me, anyone who wants to come, and I'll send you details.

my train gets into flinders st at 3.27pm, by the time i get to the TD most of you would more then likely be making your way over there so i do not think i will make it. and when you have kids it is a bit hard to catch up at a pub etc

CLMV · Sun Dec 16, 2007 10:29 am

some people meeting at Lounge Room at New Quay from 3.00pm
TA, Gweeds, Rollins, Philly, DD
welcome to join us

I'll be getting in after 3.30 - walking from North Melbourne
I'm out from 11.45, so mobile me if you need

it's not a pub Philly

it is a bar that opens onto the New Quay waterfront, with an icecream shop nearby, and space to run around, and we chose that area so people could bring kids

I'll have mine
