as long as it isn't a suited affair, too much to carry down

reVox is right - pretty casual, leaning towards smart (and I will probably mean leaning by the time Saturday night rolls around! :) )

If you run out, we have some nice new shirts available... :) (plug, plug, wink, wink :icon_cheers: )

So on Friday does the bar open at 8:30am or do we have to wait until 9am? :icon_cheers:
 
LOL, I will reiterate the "bastards" call. +1 :p

That is unless someone is willing to fly me down and put me up for the weekend....just need a quiet corner somewhere..... How 'bout it Ross :p

Take lots of pics guys! At least for us, the 'unwashed', I believe the conference will be covered by Basic Brewing Radio... Please tell me if this is not correct AndyD!

Have a good conference guys, very jealous. First call for next year's conference to be based in BrisVegas!!! All of us (that'll be 3 or 4 of us...at least me and Kram) at BABBs will be thinking of you.... :)

Cheers
 
Just a heads up for the non-regulars who are in town tomorrow.

On Wednesday nights the Royston usually has a quite popular triva night. The place gets reasonably packed. I can only assume it is still on tomorrow.

So it might be worth planning to get to the Royston earlier in the afternoon, then transfer to the goat when the place starts to fill up with trivia people.

If you arrive at the goat fairly early on a Wednesday night (opens at about 5:00pm), there is a reasonably high chance of bumping into the actual brewers etc.. still at work or just finishing. They will answer questions if you trap them in a corner

I may well slip down to the Royston and the Goat myself tomorrow. Why not get started early?

I'm also at the Pensione but am heading to Beer Deluxe tomorrow afternoon.
 
Is it wrong to start warming up now at home? :D
 
Practice makes perfect Kook, and I think we're gonna need all the practice we can get!

Beer Deluxe sounds tempting. I've got something organised for lunch/early arvo at Footscray and can catch a train into the City for a few beers after. I probably won't go out to the Goat and Royston (Take trams 48 or 75 (from Flinders St) along Bridge Rd, or the 24 or 109 (from Collins St) along Victoria St) as I'm doing the Brewery tour Thursday night, but who knows after a few beers :)

If anyone wants to give me a call my number is 0412 78 6363, Mark Herron,

Any ideas regarding the dress code for the Gala Dinner. Looks like there a big enough break to duck back to the hotel and change, but then again one might miss out a few pre dinner drinks.

I for one don't have enough time to go back to where I am staying and get changed anyway, so I'll be wearing the same cargo duds with a collared Tshirt and sleeveless vest that I'll be wearing on Saturday. Come the end of the conference at the Angliss Centre, I assume we will just catch a tram - any ideas which tram numbers? - over to the Ormond Centre and enjoy the Belgian place until the festivities begin :)

Why not indeed? I'll be starting as soon as I hit the roof @ La Pensione (if GB would be kind enough to buy me a couple of good beers? - favour to be returned later). Maybe Dr K can catch up there as well. ;)

Still keen for the Royston (see ya there Thirsty - was gonna say that I'll be the ugly one, but that won't set me apart from the other guys, will it?) , Mountain Goat and the Local Taproom tonight.

I'm goin' to a party, I'm goin' to a party...la la la :beer:

Les up and out
