This is the last week of the 4 week trial to take the opportunity to partake of good food and drink at the Tiger Bar located at the Claremont Football club. Last week several Shed members attended and enjoyed the evening with friends and acquaintances. So come along and see what is on offer in your neighbourhood. All Sheddies are invited to attend the Clarmont Football Tiger Bar for a Sundowner in lieu of our regular Beer and Bullshit event at the Shed. Why, did I hear you say? Well, The Claremont Football Club is trying to encourage better usage of their facility by the general public. They have engaged El Cabro Coffee to engage with the Public to encourage the public to come along El Cabro Coffee is a newly established Café located in the Football club building at 3 Davies Road Claremont and they make a very good coffee El Cabro Coffee have already held a successful event at the Tiger Bar EL Cabro have organised well priced food options for attendees which is of a far better quality than I could ever provide at the Shed for our Beer and Bullshit sessions Prices are very reasonable as they are generally at Football club pricing for drinks, with a Pint of beer available for $10 Partners are also welcome to attend the Sundowner This is a great opportunity to visit and enjoy this wonderful community facility You can bring along your dog if you choose to sit in the outside area Seating is available inside or outside, depending on your requirements The Tiger Bar is open from 4:30 till late, but attendance from say 4:30 to 5:00 onwards is recommended so we can enjoy the Sundowner period during the optimum time frame. These Sundowners will run each Friday for the next 3 weeks, so will be held on 21st and 28th January and 4th February. And for the purpose of total transparency, my son, James Panek, is the proprietor of El Cabro and since I am trying to support him in this venture, I cannot attend or organise the usual Beer and Bullshit session at the Shed Whilst this is not your usual Shed event, it is a great opportunity for our Shed Community to mix with the local community and enjoy what it has to offer. Best regards Peter Panek
