Hi Guys,

This is the announcement for the 2011 Golden Camel Dinner. You know the drill, 3.5hrs to build, convert, and paint a miniature, while you eat delicious Thai food and celebrate the end of another Golden Demon competition.

GOLDEN CAMEL 2011 DETAILS

I've booked the same place:

Thai La-Ong
88 King Street,
Newtown, NSW 2042
More details: http://www.eatability.com.au/au/sydney/thai_lalong/

Time:

7:00pm

Note - Games Day finishes at 4pm, however, we assume there'll be a lot of socialising afterwards There are LOTS of bars along King Street, you could probably pub-crawl from Newtown Station down to Thai La-Ong in the intervening 3 hours.

Price:

$20/pp for the Banquet

Food:
It's a Thai restaurant, expect curry puff type things for entree, a meat salad of some sort, stir fry, curry and rice. It will probably be spicy. Let me know beforehand if you have any dietary requirements or restrictions.

BYO:

Alcohol (softdrinks provided - there is a bottle shop across the road), Partners (you'll need to pay for them as well), Brushes and Sculpting Tools, Paints, Secret Bitz, miniatures to display, cameras

Supplied:

Miniatures, green stuff, brown stuff, crappy crappy paints and brushes (hence BYO or share if possible)

Theme:

The theme is Childhood Toys and TV Shows- we want to see nostalgic homages to your favourite forms of entertainment as a child, no matter what decade you grew up in! As to the miniatures you will be working off... well...

Payment:

As usual, I will need payment beforehand to make things smoother on the night (unless arranged prior). Reservations are on a first-come first-serve basis. If you are under 18, you must nominate a guardian who will be attending. I have booked for 20 people.

How to get there:

Assuming you are spending the day at Games ay, there are a number of ways to get there.
- Taxi (approx. $5-$10).
- Walking (approx. 20-30min at a leisurely pace - distance is 2.2km).
- Train - from Redfern Station to either McDonaldtown (closest) or Newtown (drinks beforehand).

Ok added you guys to the list.

I've also added a map and link to Google Maps - you can see the stations Redfern, McDonaldtown, and Newtown are all within walking distance. Highlighted is a possible walking route from the Technology Park to Thai La-Ong.
