AUSTRALIA DAY!!
Australia Day Council's TV Spot
!! JOIN US IN CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA DAY !!
Tuesday January 26th at Players Sports Bar 5420 Calgary Trail South.
A 7:30ish start should be about right - Nothing too big or flashy this year. Get on down, have a pint or two, and help celebrate what makes our big, brown land great!
On behalf of The DownUnder Club of Edmonton, I would just like to extend a vote of thanks and hearty well-dones!
Our Grand Final nite was one of the best, the most enjoyable and probably the most comfortable we've had in our 7 year history.
I would also like to thank the management and staff of PLAYERS Sports Bar for their attention, cold beer and good food.
So to all who came along, we hope that the nite was as enjoyable for you as it was for us and we look forward to our Monthly Gatherings and other events at PLAYERS as the years roll on.
Our monthly get together is still on it's regular schedule of the 2nd Wednesday of the month, and we're now patrons of...
- PLAYERS Sports Bar -
The food is great, the service good, staff are super-friendly and the prices at normal bar prices. The atmosphere is very open, plenty of room to move, music isn't too loud to the point of having to shout and the teles with sport playing non-stop are a small bonus too.
The addess is 5420 Calgary Trail (it is set back off a service road and it is right next door to Global TV).
PLAYERS Sports Bar (the round building and parking lot highlighted in the image to the left) is accessible off 55 Ave via the service road that runs along the west side of Calgary Trail South. If you're traveling south and you miss 55 Ave, you can go around the block by turning right on 51 Ave then right again on Allard Way.
Hope to see old a bunch of old and new faces this month!
DownUnder Club Members, friends, family and visitors are more than welcome to attend...
Who said that there was no culture in drinking beer.....
VB, the Foster’s beer of choice for many Australians, is the
inspiration for a symphonic piece of music played by the Melbourne
Symphony Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria using nothing but VB bottles.
