UQ Beach Volleyball Club

Hi Guys.

A huge welcome to everybody who came to the courts on Thursday.  We hoped you enjoyed yourselves and get your feet sandy many times more.  To those who have yet to come down, we look forward to getting sandy with you.

This is a little notice to inform you all that we will be having our MEET AND GREET for semester 2 next Thursday the 2nd of August.  It will be held from 8pm at the Regatta (pronounced Gat as in Cat) Hotel, in the upstairs area.  It will cost you $10 and in return we are putting on a bar tab etc.  In semesters past it has proven to be a great way to kick off the social activities of the club and to get our members mingling.  If you think you would feel more comfortable in the company of friends, feel free to invite them along…

We look forward to seeing you all there and hopefully at the courts beforehand.

Hi everybody and welcome to Semester 1, 2007 we have a huge semester planned.

Volleyball is on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, starting at 5. We will play pairs, 4s or 6s depending on how many people are there. Everyone is welcome ranging from the beginner to the expert, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t know anyone, there are always a few friendly old-hands to help you through.

Early in the semester as we always do, there is going to be a massive party for all our members and friends. We haven’t decided on a date or venue yet, but it will probably be around the 1st of March. Details are yet to be confirmed, but there certainly will be a great deal of beer involved.

We also have a weekend trip to Byron Bay planned, which involves sitting down on the beach, having a hit of volleyball, partying it up at night and generally having a nice relaxing weekend in the sun.

Hope to see you there.

To everyone who turned up and helped us to celebrate the concept of “loose” at the races.  It was a really good crowd this year and I can only assume from my experience that everybody had a great - if somewhat hazy - time.  The improved organisation on behalf of the races made it a much more enjoyable experience than last year’s schemozzle…

Also a big thanks to Todd for organising the BBQ on Thursday.  If anyone would like to put their hand up to do something similar in the future, please feel free…  If you have any suggestions about future activities, or ways that we can make things better for you, drop us an email or pull us aside at the courts.  Feedback is always welcome…Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers rip

Hi Guys…

We are going to have a social fours tournament at the UQ Beach courts on Saturday the 31st of March. It would be great to see as many of you there to make this an awesome day.

The way we normally go about things is to get everyone down at the courts at 8am. We will then organise people into teams of equal quality, with a mix of skilled players and beginners in each team. Depending on numbers, we will have 2-4 pools of four teams and each team will be guaranteed three games. (However, we might change to a two losses and you’re out system if it appears that time is going to be an issue) . There will be a final and much love and happiness for all.

The best part is that the beach volleyball is merely a distraction from drinking and eating. We will be having a BBQ lunch (let us know if you’re vegetarian), with a keg or two of beer and some jungle punch… Feel free to bring your own passion pop or spirits.

We will be doing a costing in the next days, and will get back to you with a price shortly. However, it will most likely be around the $20 mark for everything.  IT would be great to get an idea of numbers so we can start preparing food etc, so we’ll likely be pestering you at the courts on Thursday to sign up!

If you have any queries, click on the heading and leave a comment, email us, or have a chat to us down at the courts.

Hopefully, we’ll see everyone there!!

Hi Guys,  we already have 30 people confirmed for our races day… Bat*21 download

As most of you should now know, next Wednesday the 15th of August is Brisbane’s show public holiday.  Every year we organise a champage breakfast at Guyatt Park followed by a trip to the Ekka Races at Eagle Farm.  It is a huge event in the Brisbane calendar and over 38,000 people attended last year’s event.  In the past, we’ve found that members (especially internationals) enjoy the opportunity to dress up in their finest suits and dresses (and hats) and experience a day of what it is to get on the piss in Australia.

The details are as follows:
Wargames: The Dead Code dvd Journey to the Center of the Earth trailer

• Start at 8:30am at Guyatt Park in St Lucia (just off Sir Fred Schonell Drive).  Bring some snacks and a couple of drinks.
• Catch the 10:10 or 10:37am Citycats to Brett’s Wharf (the trip is around 40mins).
• Meet inside the races on the lawn adjacent to the B105 tent (marked with an X on the map here ekkamap.jpg )
• Drink, be merry, watch horses.

If anyone doesn’t think they’ll make it to Guyatt Park, feel free to meet us at the races (take your map so you know where to find us).

Final Housekeeping Matters…

There’s a bit of a twist this year in that entry numbers are capped at 35,000 for the event.  This means that people are strongly encouraged to pre-order tickets from Ticketmaster; preordering means that your ticket will be cheaper ($18 as compared with $25 at the gate), and entry is guaranteed.  We will be passing the hat around at the courts this afternoon in case anyone would like us to pre-order their tickets for them, otherwise people can pre-order tickets for themslelves before next wednesday.

If you don’t get a chance to pre-order tickets, or decide on the day that you would like to come, you can still purchase tickets for $25 at the gates.  If you are in this position, you are strongly urged to catch the first city cat (10:10) to ensure that you arrive before ticket allocations have been exhausted.

Either way, we will endeavour to make sure you have a cracker of a day.

If you have any queries, come and have a chat to us at the courts or email us here.

Hope to see you all there!!

Lastly, anyone who doesn’t want to deal with the crowds and/or the sun can upgrade to the Members’ Bar area for an additional $20 - all information regarding the event can be found at  http://www.qtc.org/racing/exhibition_wednesday_racefest___15_august.cfm

Hi Everybody,

I got an email from the organiser of SLAM volleyball

• Fragile move

today. He was letting us know that entries in to SLAM are half price for students. Clint has been talking about organising a team cause he had such a ball at the Gold coast one, but I’m sure we can get more than 1 together, so if you are interested, leave a comment here (click on the post Heading) and we can figure out how many people are keen.

Hi and welcome to the University of Queensland Beach Volleyball Club. If you are interested in playing beach volleyball either socially or competitively then we are the club for you. Players of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to come down to the courts for a free try-and-see.

We will have a tent at the Semester 2 Market day on the 25th of July so swing by and come and have a chat to us about playing. For more information about the club, click on the link in the right hand toolbar or email us on uqbeach(at)gmail(dot)com.

Membership is $50 for the semester and is worth every cent. We hold social tournaments and social functions every semester and organise a weekend trip to Byron bay for the club. Check out some of the earlier posts for stories and photos.

Look forward to seeing you in Semester 2,

UQBVC

It’s with a heavy liver and a happy heart that I thank everybody who came along last night and made our first social activity for the semester such an enjoyable one. Also, a huge thankyou to everybody who has already forked out for membership; it’s good to have the ball rolling and know that we have such a good crowd for semester 2.

For those who haven’t paid their membership yet, please try and scrape together the cash and sign up sometime this coming week. The sooner we have an idea of numbers, the sooner and better we can plan things into the future.

The next event in our calendar will the races day champagne breakfast and day party on Wednesday August 15th

(pub hol.). Be prepared for some fine weather, fine clothing and fine form.

Lastly, it is with no (small) regret that I announce the imminent departure (again) of one of the club’s stalwarts. After a few false starts and a few broken hearts Abe will be leaving for the greener shores of Sweden to become a professional Tuna fisherman (or something like that). We wish him all the best and hope to have a hit with him in that big beach volleyball court in the sky (or back in Oz if he ever returns). I can also announce that with his departure, the average age of the club will drop significantly, making us a much more attractive proposition for new members. So long Abe and thanks for all the fish…
