Bluebirds downunder meet on Jan 13th.

Date: Monday, 13 January 2003

Time: 6pm – 11pm (Organising Group meeting from 7pm-8pm)

Location: Bayview Tavern, 166 Victoria Rd Gladesville 2111 NSW (02) 9817 2632

Main reason for the evening is to have our first organising group meeting to plan the future of the club. We hope to have some recent games to show but can’t promise. Dave Povall is doing his best to get a video from the club and they promised to give it to him Monday so his mate Stu Peese can bring it over this week. Fingers crossed. If any of you have some recent games or recent Sports on Sunday stuff then please let me know. If you can’t get to the meeting I’ll be happy to come pick it up or arrange a courier.

A few of you have put your hands up and said that you will be happy to be on the organising group. If anyone else would like to help with organising and hasn’t contacted me yet, please e-mail me prior to the day. The Organising Group will spend a bit of time that evening in a separate group discussing issues relating to the forming of the club, and how we should operate etc.

So, either come because you want to be on the committee or come because you want (HOPE) to see some recent Cardiff games on the big screen, or just come for a beer and a chat with fellow Bluebirds : either way you are very welcome. There should also be a number of backpacker visitors from South Wales so let’s make them very welcome.

How to get there:

By car. Gladesville is on the North Shore. If you are coming from the north or west head for Ryde and then get onto Victoria Rd. If you are coming from the south or the Eastern Suburbs you go over the Gladesville Bridge and then head in the direction of Ryde. Good parking in Cowell St opposite tavern.

By bus. Go from George St in the city near King St. (Close to Wynyard train station) Take X18, L20, X00 or X15 bus. It’s a 20 min trip. Ask to be put off at Meriton St. The Bayview Tavern is opposite Cowell St.

By train. Forget it. There are no train stations in Gladesville.

Cheers

Richard (Sydney Blue)
