Seeing as the weather is turning to shit, and it's difficult for Abel to actually have a running motorbike for any period of time, here's an idea for a get together.

What if we were to hire a small bus, nominate a trustworthy and sober bus driver, then do a bit of a tour of the breweries in the Valley?
I believe there's about 5 or maybe 6 breweries out that way.

We would select an NOR and SOR pick up point as well as one near Midland or whatever.
Aim to get to the first brewery about midday.
Drive around to each brewery for two beers.
Stop at about the third or fourth brewery for a late lunch.
Carry on till about four or four thirty.
We pile into the bus, crank up the Acca Dacca and air guitar our way back into town.
Then skipper drops us off to our respective drop off points, fuels up and drops the bus off.

A 12 seater bus (can use a car license) will cost about $180 for the day including fuel and insurance. If we get 8 guys, then that's $23 each. Plus another five or so dollars each to buy the driver gift voucher and lunch to say thanks. Say $30 a head, plus beers and food, more people = cheaper bus.

Interested ?

I fly out June 18th so there's three weekends after this one before then.
Anyone know anyone willing to drive the bus ? Car license is okay for a 12 seater.

What dates can you make it between now and the 17th june ?
And FFS don't say you can if you aren't sure and then drop out on us, that would suck major arse and just cost people more money.

I'm happy to organise it, but someone else can drive :D

That's right Chop. Budget have a 12 seater for $135 (normal price), plus a bit extra for insurace, plus a bit more for fuel on return. That's where I got $180 from which is a bit generous.

I have used a company that organises wine tours and will give them a call, I'll also talk to Billywhizz's freinds at Beer Nuts. I can go to PSB or PR to fill up the numbers but first and foremost, I'd like it to be ASF. It shouldn't be too hard to get 8 or 10 ASFer's and yobbo mates together.

Okay, I spoke to the Beernuts mob and that is definately the go.
It will cost a little more this way but it will all be booked, planned and organised for us.
The guy has mobile eftpos so we can pay him on the day.

There are three options but the full strength tour gets my vote.
The light tour is the bus only, the mid strength tour is bus and lunch, full strength is bus, lunch and beer tastings.

The FULL STRENGTH tour:

We provide all transportation and lunch,
all drink samples and snacks.
We deliver you back.
(Additional drinks may be purchased at your own discretion)

The Cost:

2 to 4 people $130.00 per head

5 to 9 people $125.00 per head

10 to 14 people $120.00 per head

15 to 20 people $115.00 per head

The 16th June has been penciled in.
Let me know if you are keen on this, I can use PSB to fill the numbers a bit so we get a bus full of bike people.
We will select two pick up points, one NOR and one SOR, these will be near train stations.

If we get six definate ASFers, then I'll go ahead with it and get a few PSBers along as well. If not, we can leave it for a few months and try again later.

Hands up ladies.

I asked the guy about the beers today and you basically get a tasting selection at each place.
He reckons it's not often that people go buying more beer than what is supplied but you never know.
The lunch provided is a light lunch at Elmars, nothing too heavy to take up valuable beer space.
