2011 MUPolo AGM

March 28, 2011
8:00 pmto11:00 pm

The first social function for 2011 is the MUPolo Annual General Meeting.

The 2011 MUPolo AGM will be held on Monday the 28th of March instead of our usual Monday evening training session and will be at the The Swan Hotel (Corner of Church St & Swan St, Richmond – a short walk down Chapel/Church St from the South Yarra Sports Centre where the club trains, or from Richmond train station).

The AGM is a great way for new members to meet existing mebers outside of the pool, and is always a great night. The formalities of the Annual General Meeting go for less then 30 minutes, with the rest of the evening set aside for socialising over plenty of beers.

So make sure you keep Monday the 28th of February free from what will be yet another great MUPolo social function!

Pub Golf Wrap Up

Thanks to everyone who made it down to Pub Golf! It was a miserable night in Melbourne and it took heart to brave the cold, only to arrive at the Clyde to be met with 2 icy cold pints of beer and be expected to consume them to the bottom. This was followed up by another 8 pints of icy cold beer, consumed to the bottom, a couple of “bunker” shots of jaeger or sambuca, and the men were really separated from the boys.

Special mention to Dave Danne who took a tactical spew after the first pint -  however we were proud to see that he walked right out of the bathrooms and up to the bar to purchase another beer! Dishonerable mentions go to Sarah’s friend who was too cool to play golf, and to Dave Hallamore who disappeared into the night after the first pub – the girls didn’t know WHAT to do without Dave’s lovely locks to lust after.

All in all it was a sordid affair, there were some laughs, some tears, and in the end i think everyone was too drunk to work out if there was a winner or not. Looks like we’re all winners. How trite is that?

Willo

2010 MUPolo AGM

April 16, 2010 8:00 pmtoApril 17, 2010 1:00 am

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 2010 – that’s right; it’s time for the 2010 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 drink will be provided by the club).

The 2010 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 2010. 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 2010 Victorian Water Polo Winter Competition which will start on the following week.

So come down to the Queensberry Hotel (593 Swanston St, Carlton VIC 3053) this coming Friday the 16th of April, 2010 at 8pm for what promises to be another classic MUPolo AGM & night out. You’ll get to meet and get to know all your teammates who you’ll be playing with this Winter Competition as well as all the other clubs members. Look forward to seeing you all there!

MUPolo BeerPong Tournament

March 26, 2010 6:00 pmtoMarch 27, 2010 2:00 am

Ladies & Gentlemen,

The first social event for the 2010 MUPolo calendar has been decided, and what better way to kick of the 2010 Melbourne Uni Water Polo season than Beer Pong Tournament!

For those of you who have never heard of Beer Pong – you are about to have your eyes opened to an entirely different realm of sport. Beer Pong is a drinking game in which players throw a ping-pong ball across a table with the intent of landing the ball in a cup of beer/alcoholic beverage on the other end. The game typically consists of two two-to-four-player teams and multiple cups set up on each side set up in triangle formation.

The goal of the game is to eliminate the other teams’ cups before one’s own cups are eliminated. When a ball lands in a cup, which is generally 1/3 full, that cup is eliminated and the defending team must consume all of the beer/alcoholic beverage inside that cup and any other cups knocked over.

So there you have it, a simple yet beautiful and highly entertaining game for both the competitors & the spectators.

An appropriate venue is still being decided however keep this date free for what promises to be an outrageous night of competition for all members.

All are welcome and teams will be randomly drawn on the night so rsvp for what is no doubt going to be one of the most memorable nights in the 2010 MUPolo calendar!

  • Time: 6pm onwards
  • Deals:
    • $12 Chicken Parmigiana with chips and salad
    • $15 Beer battered Fish and Chips with tartare sauce and salad
    • $14 Jugs of beer (7 beers on tap)
