Official Melb. Hifi Show Stereonet dinner 6pm 21st Oct 2023

[evil c]

This Year very pleased to announce that I've managed to snaffle, (after a lot of persuading and promises we'd be better behaved this Year! ), the Bocce Room at The Taphouse St Kilda.

It will be held on Saturday 21st October at 6.00pm.

 

For simplicities sake we can again have the "Host A Roast" menu option with Entree and mains for $55.

(I will need full prepayment as per last time)

 

Anticipate it will be another fantastic night, and one not to be missed to help celebrate the Hifi show weekend -in proper style with fellow audio enthusiasts! 

Please contact me to confirm you wish to attend, via PM or just put your hand up on this thread by commenting. 

Already have around 12 15 confirmed for the night, I need to have a minimum of 30 to book the room by the end of this week- so would appreciate prompt replies if you can.

I need to lock in a minimum of 30 people as I mentioned, however can add people up until 2 weeks before.

For those not in the know, not only is the food a solid 9/10 they also provide way more than most mortals could ever hope to consume (thankfully im not one of them )

 

Im there with "bells" on {pun intended]

[frednork]

Always an excellent night at the taphouse! millions of beers on tap, copious food,  and lots of beautiful people will be there.

I missed the show last year but I'm hoping the stars align so I can get to this one.

 

There's no need for me to think too much re the dinner - it's simply the no-brainer, must-attend jewel in the crown.

 

Go across to Melbourne for the show and miss the Sat night dinner?   That would just be so wrong!

 

[betty boop]

Looking forward to this, not only quite a feast ! It’s a great chance to catch up with everyone as well, folks from around the country..

 

this kind of thing is the real soul of the forum..not one to miss !

[Kensell21]

From that photo from last years great event. It looks like I’ve aged a year! And by the looks of things I think everyone else has.  But I suppose I’ll see this year. Nothing like being at the tap house at the end of Saturdays show day in bleak city.  Nuthin compares here in quiet Adelaide. Nuthin!!!! 

[Tony M]

I think that pic is from 2019, Rod.   I'm in it and that's the last time I was in Melbourne.

ahh… Tony. If  I have only aged a year since 2019, that may be good or bad.. Ive either aged well, or have always look…. Err aged.

[joz]

I’m in , how could anyone miss it.

A great night out

[Bass13]

Been way too long between drinks/feast with you extreme enthusiastic music lovers.

Count me in, I have a big night Friday too, I will either be in form, or quiet as a mouse due to the beating the night before.

My profound apologies.  My close up vision is now poor.  I thought that was something about your system.

Looks like @KRSDarwin to me, dunno yet if he's coming down this year (?)

He's not the only one with hair, and good looks too with someone else!,

Your so considerate.  I will wear my glasses.

[KRSDarwin]

Howdy Clive and crew,

 

I am planning on attending again, even if it is only to reduce the average age and increase the hair count.

 

Please count me in and thank you for organising the event as it is great fun.

 

Cheers

Kevin

I'll be there with 'bells on, as I may end up driving Doug there... or sharing an Uber with him to the greener Outer Eastern pastures.

@evil c

 

Including myself, have 20 confirmed so far - I have to pay a large deposit within  the next few days to lock in the room.

We need a magical number of 30 for the Bocce Room, and there are no more rooms left to choose from so it is now IMPORTANT that you put your hand up or we risk losing our usual venue. .

Due to the time of year, with overlapping events - it will be difficult to find another place.

Anyone coming from Interstate for the show, it is a not to be missed event and great opportunity to put faces to those you have dueled  dealt with on  Stereonet !!

Unfortunately they're not coming this year, we need more of the visitors coming from Interstate to put their hands up - not many yet have .
