AFO X-MAS Drinks Official Thread

[Angus]

Hey AFO'ers.

Well the details have slightly changed for the AFO X-mas drinks but in my opinion for the better.

Venue: RE (Royal Exchange) Hotel Toowong.

Kick Off: 1:00pm

Date: 6th December.

BBQ: For $10 per head we are getting a big BBQ, Salads, Bread etc. I was toying with charging more and doing a bar tab but i think we should just buy our drinks and make it easy.

Location: We have been given the whle upstairs deck and adjoining pool table room for our frivolities and AFO will absorb the cost of the room hire. Merry Christmas!

For the sake of getting the BBQ right I would ask that anyone interested RSVP to me Via email no later than the 24th of November.

Please email me the following details by the 24th November to confirm you place.

Name:

Username:

Mobile:

Also if you could deposit your $10 for the BBQ into the AFO account:

Brisbane Fishing Online

BSB:124103

Account Number: 20364022

Ill keep a running tally under this post of who is coming.

Also if you have AFO kit might as well wear it. Gang colours and all

Cheers everyone hope to see plenty there!

Do we have to wear username badges? Might be easier than "I'm David my username is fishmuncher, yeah, the one with the gimp avatar!" every time someone asks! (Apologies if there IS a fishmuncher called David into Gimps on the AFO!!)

Not compulsorary but if you want to wear a name badge no one will stop you Mate BFo events are always very friendly and social so im sure youll break the ice in no time!

[olek]

Hmm...I'm pretty much guaranteed to be the guy with the wierd canadian accent so yeah, probably gonna be wearin a xmas sweater... not.

[MoparKevUk]

Jeff F! Hope you are not mocking my mental affliction:unsure:

[Ash]

Sounds like great fun. Cant wait to catch up with some of you guys again, and meet some new faces! See ya's there.

[Angus]

Come on crew!

With the exception of a few new to AFO and new to Australia exceptions this is a pretty awesome but old school crew.

With close to 4000 members we must be able to rustle up quite the shin dig

Oh well either way, with the RSVP list as it stands I know ill have an awesome time

Angus

[ellicat]

Yep - I'm in. Might be a bit late as I've possibly got another one on that day. Hopefully there'll be someone sober enough to talk to, otherwise I'm happy to moderate:P :laugh:

[silver_rex]

love to go to meet and greet everyone..But wedding anniversary that weekend and im lucky enough to be bringing the rods. Let alone going to get smashed at the pub with fellow fishos

Have fun :fishing:

[chubbstar]

I think I'm working:( But I'll look into getting it off. A few drinks and banter with AFO members would go down well;)

I'll let Angus know ASAP.

Jayson

[Angus]

Nearly 20 people in a 24 hour time period. Not bad

Should be an awesome day I reckon.

Angus

[kriso]

bump for all our night time viewers!

[John]

Ill be there

[kreel]

Bad timing for us, tBox and I are heading up to Harry Hut on the Noosa river to torment some bass that weekend.

We'll catch up with everyone the week after for the BRC.

[Angus]

Kreel: Pity, but look forward to your reports. Please take lots of pictures as this is a place I have been desperate to get up to.

Cheers.

Angus

Update: Any suggestions for the lunch?

Raffle maybe?

Angus

[hulk]

I was hoping to make it but have asked my wife if we had anything on and we are already double booked so can't make it. Just means I'll need to get to more AFO days in 2009 to meet more members.Enjoy the night cos I wish I were there too.

Maybe fancy dress. Come dressed as your favourite banned member :laugh: :laugh:

On second thoughts maybe not, don't want to get kicked out :whistle:

Pass the parcel ?

[shortie]

spin the bottle.

great idea ellicat.

who do you reckon i would come as. lol

[chubbstar]

Is there enough room there for a casting comp? Everyone uses the same rod and cast at a target/hoop or whatever?

Just a thought.

Jayson;)

[kriso]

the left hand game, you gota hold ya beer in the left hand if some one spots you using your right you scull the drink you have and your out!

Jayson thats actually a good idea. Especially after a few drinks I think the casting comp could be a winner.

Angus

[ellicat]

We'll have to do it early and with a SP tied on (preferably supertuned):laugh:

[shortie]

:laugh: :laugh:

[Feral]

Angus had better start talking to O'Briens Glass about a sponsorship deal. Letting you lot loose with casting gear inside a pub can only lead to grief!

[Angus]

Alright guys looks like thats final numbers. Ill fix up the payment to the RE tomorrow. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Angus.

P.S. If someone thinks they have RSVP'd but cant see their name on the list please let me know ASAP.

Cheers.
