meetings.....

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.

Upcoming meeting dates are: 13 Aug, 10 Sep, 8 Oct
