Annual MUPolo Pub Golf Tournament

May 25, 2012
7:30 pmto11:30 pm
7:30 pmto11:30 pm

This year the MUPolo Pub Golf Tournament will be held on Friday the 25th of May with the round officially teeing off at 7:30pm at the Queensberry Hotel and kicking well onto the evening. So dig out your golfing attire and warm up your drinking arm for what is sure to be a great night!


List of pubs we will be visiting and times:

  1. 7:30pm Queensberry Hotel
  2. 8:20pm Prince Alfred Hotel
  3. 9:30pm The Clyde Hotel
  4. 10:50pm Pugg Mahones


And so you are fully prepared to the evening make sure you have a read over the Rules:

  1. Each player must choose & consume ONE drink in each pub/club/hotel. Points are only scored for this ONE drink (except where penalties apply).
  2. The winner shall be the player with the LEAST NUMBER OF POINTS at the end of the ninth hole.
  3. Drinking is considered finishing a drink in one, two, or three, etc. swallows. A drink involves placing the glass to your mouth, tipping, & swallowing. You may not place the glass to your mouth & stop the tipping or swallowing motion – that’s cheating. See penalties below.
  4. A referee is appointed for each game. The referee is timekeeper, judge, & the final decision-maker in all disputes. The referees’ decision is final.
  5. Competitors are allowed 30 minutes to complete each hole. Failure to complete your drink in this time is covered in the penalties below. Should time be running out the referee may further limit the time allowed at each hole.
  6. Each player is responsible for maintaining their own scorecard. At the start of the match competitors are allocated partners with whom they will play the round. It is each player’s responsibility to ensure their partner’s score is correctly kept. In addition, at each hole players must declare their score to the referee who is responsible for maintaining the leader board. Fudging yours or your partner’s scorecards is cheating – penalties will be strictly enforced.
  7. All points are scored based on full strength (4.5 – 5.5 %) & full sized 550ml beers/ciders.


We will be meeting at the Queensberry from 6:30pm for dinner, with tee off at 7:30pm. Hope to see you all there!

2012 MUPolo AGM & Team Drinks

April 16, 2012
7:30 pmto11:30 pm

It is that time of the year again where the Melbourne University Water Polo Club needs all its members to come along, get involved and elect a new committee for 2012 – that’s right; it’s time for the 2012 MUPolo AGM.  And whilst many may think that AGM’s are boring events that are not worth going to, here at MUPolo we pride ourselves on getting the formality of the evening over an done with as quickly as possible (club record being 14 minutes) so as all our members can enjoy the social side of the evening over plenty of icy cold alcoholic beverages (limited drinks will be provided by the club).

The 2012 MUPolo AGM is a great way to meet all the playing & non-playing members of the club, as well as your way to help shape your club for the next year by electing & voting in the new committee for 2012. And as with every year, the AGM will run at the start of the evening so as we can get on with the more enjoyable events of the evening like celebrating the opening round of the 2012 Victorian Water Polo Winter Competition which will start on the following night.

We have organised having the AGM & Team Drinks in a central location which is easily accessible by public transport (directly opposite Richmond train station), so there’s no excuse not to come down to Holliava (36 Swan St, Richmond VIC 3121) on Monday the 16th of April, 2012 at 7:30pm for what promises to be another classic MUPolo AGM & night out. You’ll get to know all your teammates who you’ll be playing with this Winter Competition out of the water as well as many of the other Club members. Look forward to seeing you all there!

Ben Yeo
