Dinner Event - GCARTY1
A night of Fun, Prizes and Camaraderie
The Dinner event will be something a little different.
We have made it a requirement, ok we would like, for the evening that ALL participants wear a HAWAIIAN Shirt, the louder and the brighter the better.
We have seating for 250 guests, with eight (8) persons to a table. OMGoodness, 250 people in Hawaiian shirts!
Dinner is $25 per person and you have a choice from Three options.
Nachos (GF/DF/Vegan), Butter Chicken Curry (GF/DF), Southern Fried Chicken Burger with chips.
There is a well stocked BAR, Live music for some dancing and prizes / giveaways during the night
The doors open from 6pm and dinner will start from around 6.30pm.
For the early birds we have a special PRIZE. For the first 75 people who book in for a dinner and pay, you will go into a draw to win a $50 Gift voucher. A golden log book with your name will go into the draw and the prize will be drawn at the dinner event. These tickets have been sold, but there are still dinner tickets available.
Get your group together, book a table and good luck. Book on via the shop and send an email with your group, bpq.caching@gmail.com
