Count me in the draw (not entirely sure how winners for events are decided actually) for this one - I already organised the timing of an interstate trip for work around being back in Melbourne the day before the game!!

if we have more than 2 sponsors keen I do a raffle based on the people keen and the amount of shares they have, random number generator decides the winners!

OK, I heard "blah, blah, blah, IT techie speak, blah, blah, blah".

But I appreciate your efforts, and I'm in, and keen as mustard!

I'm off now to google "random number generator"......

 

[boydie]

Im keen to throw my hat in for this one too!

 

[boydie]

Gotta RSVP by Friday for this one, so need any more responses ASAP

 

[George]

Any word on this?

 

[True Believer]

OK, so I am reliably informed that my attendance at said event invokes an obligation to provide a report! Had I known at the time that my generous donation would bring with it an obligation to fulfil a role as a journalist, I may well have requested a discount!!

Moving on from that, having attended other player sponsor events at Marvel - the comparison is stark! The Olympic room is so much larger and so much better suited to hosting corporate events.

There was a late out to our line-up, so a quick shout out to Boydie, who I hope won't mind me mentioning this on the forum. Boydie, I trust your little one is doing well and if not back at home already is close to getting there? Unfortunately, Boydie ended up with a child in hospital, so obviously did not make it last night. Instead at the last minute, my brother stepped in to the empty slot, selflessly drinking free beer, eating free food watching the game from great seats! (thank you for your service Bro).

The food was great, a buffet set up with food stations. There was a Yum Cha station with dimmies and dumplings etc, a smoked station with brisket, pulled pork coleslaw etc (so, make your own sliders!) and something else. I can't tell you what the other stations were because we set up base camp beside the smoked station and did our bit to make sure it didn't go to waste!! In fact we were strategically positioned exactly between the bar and the smoked station - it was a real estate coup!!

, Kosi, Paddy Ryder, a Wakelin twin), the club president spent time talking with a funny guy sharing our table who had stolen meat pies off a catering guy in the lift, on his way into a catered function! It takes all types.....

Biggest Disappointment - My brother told me, after the fact, that Razor Ray had just gone past us!! We were right beside the smoked food station, fully equipped with knives and forks, and yet Ray made it away without a scratch on him!! If I have to grab a last-minute ring-in again, my brother just uninvited himself!

Meeting Forumites - In a very pleasant turn of events, the Saintsational player sponsor attendee (Kosifantutti) who ran their sponsorship for a period of time, saw from this thread that I was attending, contacted me, and we managed to meet up for the first time. A good guy and it just added to a great evening!!
