GMAQ 2013 Xmas Function

This years Xmas function will be held on 24 & 25 November 2013 where we have secured tickets to the 4th Day of the Ashes at the Gabba on Sunday, 24 November. Then on the Monday, we will be heading over the Victoria Park Golf Complex where Nick Flaskas (Owner/Director) will be giving us a guided tour of the facility. Following the tour will be a Championship Round of Putt Putt to decide the 2013 Von Nida Champion. Following putt putt will be lunch at the complex. I have made inquiries into accommodation and I have found that Diana Plaza Hotel is reasonably priced (due to most other accom venues charging extra due to the Ashes).
Diana Plaza Hotel, Annerley Rd (15 mins walk to the cricket) - phone 33391 2911, they have plenty of rooms for the Sunday night, 24 Nov (29 at the moment) but I would encourage you to book soon as they are filling up quickly due to the Ashes.
For a deluxe queen room (twin share) – 2 pax - $250 or a 3rd person can join the room (triple share) for an extra $25. There are some accommodation houses that have a cheaper rate but are not in walking distance. Those attending that want to head to the city can do so via cab. Alternatively, there is night life in the area which is walking distance.
So that I can allocate tickets and advise names to Carlton who are supplying the tickets to the Ashes, can you please advise if you will be attending this event ASAP thanks. If you will be only attending 1 day, can you also advise which day you would like to attend.If you have any problems booking in, please email me aaron.muirhead@nudgeegolf.com.au. I hope that you can join us and support GMAQ.
