evil c Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) 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. Here's a pic of the actual room in full swing - at a previous dinner Edited August 8 by evil c 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frednork Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Always an excellent night at the taphouse! millions of beers on tap, copious food, and lots of beautiful people will be there.

Tony M Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 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! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kensell21 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 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!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRSDarwin Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 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 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil c Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 (edited) Ok, here is a list of people attending the dinner on the 21st October: (10 more desperately needed) @Black Orange @betty boop @todagt @frednork @tubularbells @Kensell21 + 1 @Tony M @Ittaku @A J @darth vader ( ?) @blybo @joz @Assisi @buzz lightyear @surprisetech @KRSDarwin @Bass13 @Grizzly (?) @Gee Emm @TerryO @POV (?) @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 !!
