We meet on the second Wednesday of each month for dinner and a drink.
It is at these informal meetings that all the business of the club is done. You are welcome to
turn up to these meetings if you wish to find out more about the club.
MEETING VENUE: We hold meetings at the Royal Mail Hotel,
519 Spencer St (corner of Stanley St) West Melbourne. Although the meeting officially kicks off from
8:15pm, we encourage everyone to come early and enjoy a meal and a drink before the meeting.
The Royal Mail has quite a good menu and very reasonable prices (a very important budgetary
consideration for those of us battling with the costs of servicing a mortgage or, worse still,
an Italian motorcycle!) For the gastronomes out there, note that the Royal Mail was 3AW's "Pub
of the Week" on 2nd March 2007, and click here
for some further restaurant reviews.
Details: Darren will be leading us down in an anti-clockwise direction with an overnight sleep-over in Warrnambool, so pack your 'jarmies! This time we have upgraded to 3-star accommodation at the Warrnambool Holiday Park. Places are limited so please RSVP to Darren by 13th August with a $10 deposit. Expect cost will be $35 each including linen and towel.
Departs: 09:00 am
from South Yarra.
