The problem with that then is you miss the action.


Only some. We were drinking quick!

Apparently there is a Grand Prix being held in Melbourne this weekend :shock: What a marketing disaster this event has been nationally, even when we have an Aussie on the podium these days. Melbourne does sport extremely well, but your efforts in hosting an F1 event have been ordinary....or is it just that our media here in SA still have sour grapes and thus starve us of all the hoohaa?

Schoolboy error lads, best of both worlds by getting a few drinks from the east end cellars, bringing them through the gates in your pockets, and then once you're up in a grandstand you can openly drink them, and if you're as well prepared as us, you'll have a cool bag with an ice block waiting in the stand for the drinks when you get up there :D

Will keep that in the memory bank! Kudos to you :ymapplause: I did have some bourbon in my pocket though with a bag full of unopened mixers...

does anyone know how you can get hold of a corporate ticket and how much you'd be looking at? Basically one that includes all your free piss all day and get a decent view of the track.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Once again holding our annual client function at The Clipsal.

9 seats in the Gold pass Pit Entry stand. Two people from my company go each day and take along 7 guests. As I did all the planning etc this year, I'm going Saturday and Sunday... :lol: The other blokes can do Thursday and Friday...

We budget $120 per person per day for food and drink.
