Events
1. Panitball was a great idea but no enough people showed intrest. So everyone decided to forget it. Until we can get 10+ on a regualr basis.
2. Go-Kart Day in 1-2 weeks. Max to ring up the place he suggested and gte prices however the group said they would all go. It would be expected that Tarkus would also go to make 8 ppl at a minimum.
3. Weekend Cruise. On the back of SIlverfish's ida to Falls Gap, MAx suggested a cruise to someplace nearby which he knows. We can stop and stay overnight and cruise the hills the next day. ALso other activites can be arrange such as horse riding and shooting people -
4. Pro Night. We will all go to BoardRoom and get a GB discount. Need tyo bring camcorder -
haha expected cost is around $300 pp. Men's Gallary was checked out and fun was had by all...next time we need more people for a discount..
5. Not discussed. But KJ suggested a fortnightly dinner for catch up. Everyone to choose a day where they don't have Tennis/Netball or time with the Mrs. Thursday is suggested. Plan could be to have a PIzza night and alternate to a new Pizza place each time and review their products...just to make it intresting...Or a Parma review...and follow the Parama web site..feedback required.

20 Carrington Drv
Sunshine
VIC, 3020
I have been there few times and I reckon one of the top 3 go-kart place in VIC. Its outdoors, large track, professional people, good karts.
They do race type races,
3 sections; qualifying, race1, race 2
Total of 30 mins, checkout the race typs in the website, I have always done the Monaco event at $70
Or we can just for Arrive & Drive thing, $55 half our.
Also, I think if you are not a member, then you need to pay $10 yearly fee.
Let me know if this is out of budget
They stop the race 2 times and you get

The event consist of driving up to Grampians.
Visit Halls Gap, horse riding there at the best place in VIC.\I have been there few times as well, and if you like horses, you will love it.
At night, we can stay at Lake Fyans caravan park, in cabins, at around $60-70 a night. Each cabin has a double bad and 2 bunks.
This is an event that your loved ones definately enjoy as well as the little ones.
Halls gap has a great scenic view, and there are places to visit, as well as restaurants, etc...

I reckon we should just focus on go-kart first, then figure out rest later,
organising one is a challange already, let alone 3

o btw, look what i came across - places to cruise in Melb:
As a general comment, any roads within 100Kms of the metropolitan area are going to have traffic during normal business hours and on the weekends so you need to choose your time and drive carefully.
North: The road from Warrandyte up to Kinglake can be good if there's not much traffic and the road from Whittlesea to Yea is good.
South: There are a few roads on the Mornington Peninsula but it's difficult to find them without traffic.
East: The road from Kangaroo Ground to Healsville via Yarra Glen is quite nice and from Healsville you can do the Myers Creek road and/or the Healsville-Kinglake road to Kinglake & return. Also from Healsville you can do the Black Spur (Maroondah Highway) to Marysville. The Black Spur is excellent but, like the Great Ocean Road, it's subject to heavy traffic and is best very early morning (dawn) or late at night. On Saturday & Sunday afternoons it's very popular with the motorbikes.
The road from Lilydale out to Warburton is very scenic and nice to cruise with the top down on a warm day. From Warburton you can do a quick dash up to MT Donna Buang or go on to Marysville via Cumberland Junction. Older maps will show this road as dirt but it was fully sealed last summer. It's an excellent run but it is popular with 4WD's with big bull bars who think that keeping to the left doesn't apply to them.
Also, from the Warburton road you can turn off at Yarra Junction and go to Noojee via Powelltown. From Noojee you can either go to Warragul via Neerim South or to Baw Baw via Tanjil Bren. Another alternative is to continue from Noojee to Icy Creek and go to Moe via Hill End (This road has been recently tar sealed). For Eastern Suburbs residents these roads provide a more interesting route to the Gippsland area than the Princes Highway.
West: The land to the west of Melbourne is quite flat and the roads are straight. Not much interest here.
the above was from...
http://www.hsccv.org.au/
maybe one of the above routes could be our next cruise or something...
just my 2cents.

Here 'tis:

They are more of a take away place so they only have 3 tables inside and a couple on the footpath, so we might need to takeaway if there are too many of us.
