Next Season's Promotions

Postby Damatch » Tue May 20, 2008 6:21 pm

Not sure if this has been brought up anywhere before, but I was wanting to know what, if any, special promotions are planned for next season.

I'm refering to something along the lines of the 'Aussie Millions' promotion NPL had a while back. Anything like that going to be set up for next season, as a little extra incentive to keep players rocking up?

Also, as my favourite venue, the "Holdy" is no longer running, can anyone suggest a good venue to play in the south? I'm looking for a pub with a good friendly crowd, a good stamp policy, and one which runs on Tuesdays, or Fridays (maybe Weds too).

Thanks,
Damatch

sorry to here about you venue,

Um tuesday down south
There's the Woodcroft Tavern 630pm 730pm start,
Td is Sean O' Hare
Stamps are pretty good to 3dollars per stamp and they have a burger and pint deal which gets you stamped up

And The christies Beach hotel
starts the same time,
meals are pretty good except for the plastic cheese, Stamp system is the same and the Td im pretty sure is Jeff Menzel every week

Garth those promotions sound great!!!
Can't wait to hear all about it!



Lizi is right about the venues she mentioned and to be honest the burger, beer and stamp deal at the Woody is FANTASTIC!!
Not to mention the competition is really strong.
However Sean the TD is very dodgy.. lol ;)

She didn't mention The Emu in Morphett Vale for Wednesdays, great place to play. I do play there every Wednesday and Sunday and love it!! However they have just instigated a 'no hat' policy, which means you can't wear hats caps or hoods.

Because it's rude to wear your hat inside!

At night time, well... you look silly :)

Nar, heaps of places have this rule - some of them even enforce it.
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

Hiya ALK..

It was never an issue until new owners came about 3-4 weeks ago.. some time around then.

They enforced a strict no hat policy.
Many places enforce it because it obscures the view of the cameras in case of robberies.

So now I know of at least 3 regulars that won't be going because of it.

I know it is rude, but to be honest, some of these players really and I mean REALLY needed to wear hats... LOL

it makes the place look a lot more neat and tidy - if thats the atmosphere the owners wanna create, then fair enough. i dont think its necessarily rude, but its not exactly a big deal if the owners dont wan't people to wear hats.
