AFF Gathers: In Melbourne!! [1-3 August 2008]

[Keith009]

serfty - thanks for offering to organise the AFL tix.

Count me in too!

 

[Flashback]

As far as weather goes, TD(/docklands) has a roof!

It's about 300 metres from the Skybus Depot/SC station, although there's no roof along the overpass where you'd walk.

Ahh, technology. Isn't it great.

Hopefully there will be enough room to shove my suitcase and backpack under the seat then :shock::shock:

There are lockers at SC station, so you may want to try and secure one of these.

Actually, now you mention it, there are handy lockers at the SkyBus terminal (which is part of the Southern Cross Station Construction).

 

[QF WP]

Having caught the Skybus to the airport last week, I can confirm serfty's poion about the lockers. They are against the concrete wall opposite the ticket purchase window.

 

[Flashback]

Looks like I've been told how I am going to do it...

Any idea as to cost, ease of use? e.g. only accepts coin, or notes as well etc?

 

[QF WP]

Hmmm, I didn't look at it that closely and have no plans to visit MEL anytime soon. Around 16 to 20 lockers.

 

[serfty]

I'll try to remember to have a look on Friday ... although I tend to arrive into the terminal, see the bus and become very single minded ...

Darn your doing well! I offered a free corp box and only had 2 people contact me and want to go - well done!

You related to Cory Worthington by any chance?



Mr!

 

[serfty]

... You related to Cory Worthington by any chance?

Nup! (Although Narre Warren is not that far from Patto!)

 

[munitalP]

Wheres Hampton Park? I used to live in Glen Waverley but can't place a finger on HP....

Mr!

 

[serfty]

Wheres Hampton Park? ...

Sorry, Narre Warren is what I meant - That'd be where Corey's infamous function was held ... approx 5 km SE of Dandening.

 

[munitalP]

The question begs.......




Did you go?

 

[JohnK]

Darn your doing well! I offered a free corp box and only had 2 people contact me and want to go - well done!

So there was only one other person apart from me interested? A pity as I think that would have been a really good experience. Oh well....

Yeh.. still don't understand why people didn't want to. Heck, I even went to a Dockers game once, because I was invited into a corporate box It's not about the footy in that case.. it's about the food and drinks and a day out mingling!

 

[Kendall Roy]

Don't suppose there's a round of golf anywhere on the agenda?

I'm sure JohnK will be in it if it's possible to organise :!:

 

[Evan]

Did somebody mention corp box at the football
Have had some fun games myself in the corp box... don't know anything about AFL, from NSW so dont understand it but for a free drink...

Golf... plent of nice courses in Melbourne, not the cheapest place to play though. Especially when you play like me and also loose some balls !!

I've found the prices to be pretty good - you just need to book in early to get a spot!
