Super Fun Happy Camp

24 Aug 2014 by Red Matthews

Hi Sagers,

Super Fun Happy Camp is coming up and will be happening on either the weekend of the 6th,13th or 21st. We have a confirmed venue if it’s on the 6th however i want a good turnout so we are considering more dates especially after ONIA being about 1/3 the size it has managed to be before.

For those that don’t know what Super Fun Happy Camp is, all team members are invited to a place out of town for a get together on a Saturday evening and stay the night there. New members of the boat club are inducted at Super Fun Happy Camp so all freshies should come if they can. Lots of “activities” and fun usually happens on super fun happy camp, just ask anyone that was at them in 2010-2011. I’m sure they have some great stories, especially Whitey :P. Everyone helps out for dinner and helps clean in the morning and/or put money together for a cleaner so that the host isn’t stuck with a lot of work. It’s BYO drinks and bring a portion of the dinner/breakfast. And there is a special type of KK that also goes on (will explain more about that later).

I have made a Doodle schedule in the Web Link 1 section to see what kind of numbers we can get for each weekend. If you aren’t sure whether or not you want to go because you have something else on have a talk with some of the Monash Rowers from a few years ago that went to Lorne or Portsea SFHC. Should make it easier to decide.

Also, we are looking for someone to consider hosting on the 13th as this is most likely the best weekend to have the event. So if anyone has a place out of town and they are willing to play host (remember we cook and clean so you actually don’t need to do much, just have fun) please let me or Flick or your coach know.

Cheers,

Red

P.s Thought i’d add a photo of my first Super Fun Happy Camp. Aaah brings back memories. Whitey and I drove down to Portsea on the saturday afternoon not knowing what to expect… you’ll have to come along this year to hear about the rest of that night
