BEAR BOWLING! Tuesday September 14th


Our first BEARS ON THE LOOSE event for the new year is here, and it comes in the form of Bear Bowling!!

Come on down to Strike Bowling Bar (325 Chapel Street, Prahran) for a night of bowling with all of your bear mates - we've tried to choose a more central location for this particular event, so make sure you come on down after work for a cheap and fun evening!

"Strike Bowling Bar is the perfect place to spend your Tuesday nights, with $8 bowling, drink speci...als, free popcorn, prizes and more!"

We've booked lanes from 7PM - so please try and be there by 6:30 - 6:45ish. And RSVP here so we can get a good idea of numbers. We'd love to see you there of course, and a big turnout means we'll be doing plenty of these BEARS ON THE LOOSE events in the future.

Woof!

Den Night - 28th August


It's the 4th Saturday of the month, and after our recent Annual General Meeting... it's back to tradition with another friendly Den Night at the Laird Hotel!

We've ushered in a brand new committee at our recent AGM, so what better opportunity to meet them all in the flesh at our first Den Night for the 'new year'!

We've got a couple of big announcements to make and some raffle prizes to give away, so come on down and say hello! We're all incredibly ...excited about some big changes over the coming year, with new events, new ideas and new chances for our members to really benefit from VicBears... so be there when it all kicks off this Saturday!

And as always... don't forget to bring your membership card to get your 15% drink discount - we'll be there at the desk if you want to join up or renew your membership!

Come and hang out with your bear mates, or maybe meet some new ones!

Hope to see all you fellas there!

Southern Hibearnation 2010 - Survey Results

"That was the best bear run experience I have had! Great work buddies! Thank you very much ;)"

The survey results are all in from our recent Southern Hibearnation 2010 Survey and we thank you all for taking the time to complete the survey questions and adding your comments, feedback and suggestions

We received over 100 completed surveys, which is an awesome result for any type of club survey!! It's obvious you guys care a great deal about your Club and the SH event, and want to see it continue to improve in the years ahead.

Laid end to end, the Survey Report is over 39 pages long, and we have tons of data, statistics, ratings and comments which we'll be sorting through and taking on board, in preparation for Southern Hibearnation 2011. Overall, the comments made throughout the SH2010 Survey were very positive, encouraging and constructive. Here's a couple of final comments made;

"The events that I attended ran smoothly and without any real problems that I could see. Probably one of the smoothest years so far."

"Great events organised, next year I will take time off work as it was bloody hard work to attend events and get to work every day."


The new VicBears Committee will be wading through all the Survey results and comments in the coming weeks, and we'll start our work towards an even woofier SH2011. So thanks once again from all of us at VicBears for completing the Survey - the quality and quantity of the responses was phenomenal!

Oh, and the winner of the random prize draw from those of you who completed the Survey was Rob Bell from Victoria Park, WA. Rob will be receiving his 100% Beef Magazine subscription soon!

AGM complete!

Hey everyone,

After another year of VicBears concluded at our most recent Den Night in July, it was time to re-elect the new committee for the next year! After our executive committee from 2009-2010 delivered their final reports, a new committee was elected:

President Ricky Cooper
Vice President Luke Mitchell
Secretary Peter Undy
Treasurer Clint Roberts
Committeeman Joe Davis-Westland
Committeeman Jack Chapman
Committeeman Rob Camm
Committeeman Kevin Reader

Congratulations to the new committee; we at VicBears all look forward to an even bigger and better year than the last one.

Hugs and woofs,
Luke Mitchell
