QUEENSLAND DEMONS NAB Cup Event

ROUND ONE - 2012 NAB CUP at Metricon Stadium on Saturday, February  25, 2012

• Brisbane Lions 

• Gold Coast Suns

• Melbourne Demons

Hi Guys!

It occurred to me this morning, that the NAB cup games are about 6 weeks away and I had better get my act together and organise something.  So here it is ...

If you're already in Qld or you're thinking about either travelling up for the games, the QUEENSLAND DEMONS are planning pre-game lunch and  post matches drinks at Emerald Lakes Golf Course.

As parking is virtually non existent or you pay the various establishments a fee and have to walk for miles, we can organise parking as well for those doing lunch – an added incentive.

 

Although nothing is confirmed, we do have a booking with them and a couple of options:

 

• Set Menu – 2 course would be approx $40.00 which is a little pricey but the food's good and there's a lot of it  OR

 

• Seats booked at a small fee and everyone buys their own lunch ... seat booking fee is then given as a voucher to use for the meal. ( but voucher is not for alcohol). 

Effectively there is little or no charge depending on the individual who will eat as much as they feel like. Last year that charge was $15. It is likely to be similar or slightly more but same kind of arrangement would be in place.

 

I do need an idea of numbers for the lunch – aftermatch doesn’t matter.. and we will need the $$ $ before match day. The amount will probably be decided next week when the function manager returns from holidays.

We will also be raffling off Rohan Bail’s 2011 guernsey – donated by his dad – so someone will go home with a nice prize on the day.

 

If you are interested, please email me with an approximate number of people and although not set in stone for now, we cant refund the seat fee as the club wont give it back – if u book and pay and then don’t go, you donate to Emerald Lakes Golf Club – not Qld Demons.

The honourary Queenslander and a few others will be there, but probably won't be able to confirm. Most likely see you post match.

HI there

Thinking about comming but have to wait and see if i have the day off work. Ive moved from Melb to Gold coast 12 months ago and keen to meet fellow QLD demons as i dont know anyone up here who follows AFL.

When do I have to let you know by?

[Mousey 47]

Will be attending the game with a few mates! Staying at the Royal Woods as we did last time i think it was against the Saints!

Is the Emerald Lakes Golf club the one we had the after match function last time against the Saints (before the new stadium) ?

So we got no aftermatch place to celebrate after yet?

Looking forward to it

At this point no need to set in stone..when do you find out your roster? We will be having a few game day functions this year so if you cant make this one, you can catch up with us the next month when we do round 1

I find out my roster every 2 weeks. Would be awsome to meet fellow Demons.Sick of having to listen to Rugby talk with workmates so definately will try to attend as many functions as I can Coz I bleed RED & BLUE.

I cant either, trust me!

[Very Old Demon 8]

Are our Demon Membership numbers up to date? We appear to have stagnated on about 21500. A long way to go for an anticipated 40,000 odd

Keeping an eye out for the next update. When there is I'll bump the Membership thread for a comparison from 2011 around the same time. We're on a par with last year it seems to date (or just ahead). We'll have a better indication before Australia Day.

[Very Old Demon 8]

Thanks H T I`ll keep a look out

We will be back at Emerald Lakes after the game.. - no bookings required.. plenty of room for a lot of happy Demon fans

[Demondeb 8]

Ok Everyone,

Emerald Lakes has given us the prices.

$15.00 each per adult

$10 each per child.

This is redeemable on the day for food so effectively lunch is paid for and we have our own area ,

We do now need you all to start working the numbers out. They require payment for the function approx 2 weeks before which is the 11th Feb. Therefore I will need to have your $$ by then. If you are interested and havent let me know officially, please email me with the subject NAB cup or NAB function and I will then send you bank details to pay for your "tickets".

There will be parking available for us at the club and therefore for the game.

Our email is [email protected]
