Excellent idea!

As you can see, we're trying to choose a venue in the Surfers area (being the most central for everyone), so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Billy’s Beach House www.billysbeachhouse.com.au

Thoughts and recommendations appreciated as well as alternative venue suggestions!

And as usual, everyone is welcome!

Hi, Gav, sorry had some internet problems so not been on sooner! We went to
Billy's beach house a couple of weeks ago and think it might be a bit too busy, was quite good though. Also, just a thought but Schoolies is still on then? Not sure if I want to stand next to the 18 year olds, maybe we should have it on the outskirts?? What do you think.

Hey Michelle, I kind of thought that about Billy's (not that we have been there...), so we'll strike that one off the list for now.

Official end date of Schoolies is Sunday 29th November, but to play it safe I’m going to put a stake in the ground and say Shuck Bar at Main Beach. I know we only went there a few months ago, but it’s pretty central and if we do fancy the hop in to Surfers, it’s not a big cab ride.

I’ve given them a call and reserved an area to the right of the bar outside, so it’s should be easy for everyone to meet up.

The details are:
Shuck Bar
Tedder Avenue
Main Beach
www.shuck.com.au


Area is reserved from 7pm.

Hope to see you all there!

Sounds like a great idea, and a nice place to boot. Will check up with OH, as he keeps the diary, and let you know.

sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I think you'll find that the Qld schoolies finishes on the 5th but then the NSW schoolies starts. Not sure Surfers is going to be the place to go. Anywhere on the Avenue is normally fine but there will be toolies everywhere so not going to be the most relaxing place int he world.

QLD schoolies finished last night. NSW kids will be up there now and Friday 4th but there will still be some around so I'd stick to Main Beach.

The Grand Hotel is a good start, for a bit of a treat try the fish and chip shop over the road, the New Zealand Dory is especially good.

I've heard that actually - might need to give it a go.

That's a shame, but no worries...
