ICE Hockey & Nachos Cantina Night 17th AUG!
ICE HOCKEY & MEXICAN FOOD, COLD ICE then HOT FOOD... sounds like a nice COMBO...
So what are the details ? Well...
The OFFICIAL Impreza WRX CLUB Presents, in association with STiG Productions...
ICE HOCKEY and Nachos Cantina Night, Sunday 17th AUGUST, 2008
Well as a few of you may know, the STiG went to the Ice Hockey a few weeks ago and just loved the game and the action. So we thought,
why not get a big crew together to go and cheer on The Melbourne ICE Hockey Team in their last game of the Season against Central Coast.
Then we can all head off down the road for a good serve of Mexican Food. Granted this certainly isn't everyone's thing but this is something
different and interesting. A great family environment too. Plenty of entertainment for the kids and the adults alike. Have no idea
about the rules? During the game, you can sit down near the commentators box and a member from the Team will guide you thru the rules
and regulations as they happen on the ICE.
As usual, this is a members only cruise and club members can view the event details *HERE*
