VIC Westside Meetup - Royal Hotel Essendon - Thursday 30th August 2018 @ 7pm

Good afternoon all

The next Melbourne west-side meetup is booked in as follows:

Date : Thursday 30th August 2018
Time : 7pm
Venue : Royal Hotel, 873 Mt Alexander Rd Essendon (we'll be in the bistro under "Property Chat").

Let me know by posting on this thread who is coming so I have an idea of numbers.

Come along for food and/or drinkies and some excellent chit-chat. After much campaigning over several months I have finally convinced this venue of the merits of having vegetarian options on the menu, and low and behold, I see a vegetarian risotto on the menu which will please our vegetarian members. So finally we have this as a viable meetup place from a location, food and transport perspective.

This venue is within a short (2min 150metre) walk of Essendon Station for those who wish to commute by train (see map below). Essendon Station is on the Craigieburn line. Alternatively trams run along Mt Alexander Rd... most notably tram 59 which can collect you in Elizabeth St Melbourne and take you all the way to the venue.

For those that are driving, there is parking behind the venue, on Mt Alexander Rd, behind the Post Office, or at the train station.

For our visitors from the regionals of Geelong and Ballarat that are commuting by train, you will need to change trains at North Melbourne Station or Southern Cross Station to pick up the Craigieburn line.

You can click on the map below to enlarge it on your screen and see more commentary about how to get there, parking etc.

Here is the venue's website for those that need it : Your Local Hotel - Royal Hotel, Essendon, VIC 3040

Please note that the venue has confirmed that each person can order and pay for their food and drinks at the bar/counter.

Looking forward to seeing you all there .

Sorry to hear it @astonma ... hope to see you at the next meetup

 

Attendees coming in from the western suburbs, be sure to skirt around the Braybrook fire. Perhaps better to go Western Ring Road to Calder Fwy and then drop down to Essendon from there. @Joe Presto @Frank M @Prashant Mahajan @Mitesh Dedhia @Peter_Tersteeg @Simon Moore
