Wollongong 4's Comp 31st March

The 15tth Annual Wollongong 4's Comp is scheduled for Saturday 31st March, 2007 and the invitation is open to all players of all levels.

It's a "pot luck" tournament where teams will drawn out of a hat on the day. You play 4/team (may have one sub dep on numbers); 2x5min halves in a court that is 17m long, 15m wide and 2.4m deep.

"POT LUCK" = you luckily find the pool and get there before 12.30 so that you luckily win the door prize; you then get put in a team that consists of you plus 3 great players and win every game. Then at the BBQ afterwards, as luck would have it, you get to eat as much food as you can and then win all the pot luck prizes because everybody else is still at the pub! The others arrive stocked up and luckily offer you a few drinks. Then you might even get lucky...(and find a nice comfy bed to crash on)???

Interested in coming, contact lena_p@bigpond.net.au
cheers

Cost will be $30 for Comp + BBQ (byo drinks). (less for Students/Juniors)

The BBQ will be at Phil Ackerman's house - he has a great BBQ area with pool and spa (if you think you haven't had enough chlorine by then).

Would be great if you could come - it's a mad day - you are either playing hard because you were lucky (?) to get a good team and could win the comp, or you are playing hard cause you weren't! :lol: Just need to give us a couple days notice so we have an idea of how much food we'll need to get.

Hey Lena,
I'm 99.9% sure I'll be heading up for the comp. What happens on the Sunday (apart from recovery from the night before)? I'll try and get Trace and Nina there too. I'm assuming there's some floorspace somewhere for us to crash the night too cos I don't fancy sleeping in a Getz with two others... hrmmm cosy!

Hi Alex

Nothing is planned for the Sunday (we are sensible in wgong, or rather too old to play with a hangover)! There is plenty of floor space at Phil's so you can have a nice recovery dip in Phil's pool/spa in the morning if you like. There are plenty of nice beaches in Wollongong with cafes or you could come up to Thirroul (20min north from Phils place) to check out the Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival that is on that weekend. Great if you guys came up!

Ciao

The results:

The luckiest in the pool (draw) were:
Marion Creser (Syd)
Jules Foulkes (Syd)

James Harris (ACT)
Billy the Kid (Syd)

The unluckiest were:
Eden Brown (Vic)
Edwin Kwan (Wgong)
Bill Maher (ACT)
Alain (Syd)

Other Lucky Mentions:
The extraordinary luck of the two people in charge of drawing names out of the bucket to make up the teams (Jules and Andy)...
Lucky with the weather
Craig's lucky discovery of the Bundy bottle on the prize table
Vics' lucky win in the vic-nsw waterpolo/rugby
Men's unlucky loosers in the men-women waterpolo/rugby
Eamonn's unlucky loss of shorts in spa
New lucky record for people in spa = 22!

A very special thanks to the Vics Edi, Chook, Michaela, Catherine, Giles, Craig, Wolfey and Sophia for coming up and for making the great salads.

Thanks for organising a great comp guys, you can count me in for the next one, although if I look at the logistics, 18 hours of driving seems alot, but was worth it if for nothing but the water polo alone lol.
Big thanks to Phil for the hospitality. Had a great time.
