What better way to warm yourself up than getting down to the Camel tomorrow night for Bashers drink.

Round 2 of the 2012 Bashers shot selection will be taking place so if you think you can improve on the delightful ‘Happy Ending’ shot we came up with a few weeks ago then come armed with a good recipe.

the Happy Ending was;

Grenadine
Blue Curacao
Tequila
Vodka

See if you can beat that.

Also witness the return of the mystical Sinbad from his 2 month retreat in India.

Please start thinking hard about recruitment of new players for 2012, spread the bashers love to anyone you meet and try and get them down tomorrow or any of the up coming events to get them on board.

See you all tomorrow!

Maybe a little highbrow for the like of some Bashers but our fine selves at Sirromet Wines in conjunction with The Wine Republic & The House of Roosevelt are hosting a casual tasting this Wednesday evening at The House of Roosevelt. 6:30PM kickoff with 6 wines to sample across the range including sparkling, whites, reds and a lovely little number using the mistelle method to finish with.

The price for the night is 128 RMB which is a  bargain either way you look at it; its cheaper than a fines session.

Hope to see a few of you there.

Loose.

If you want an excuse to turn up to work on Monday half cut then come and join me at The Camel. Kick of is 07:30 and there will be a table put aside for the Bashers so head down a bit early to get warmed up!

Yes , those crazy guys from Studio 188 are back into the live music for 2012

For one night only ( until they book us again ) get down to P & G Live tonight for good tunes, good times and good vibes

OK I have to stop sounding like a prat so come on down and bring the missus

If you are lucky enough to be staying in Shanghai over the coming holiday then you defiantly definitely need to head down to Kakadu on the 26th Jan for what will be one of best tasting Australia Day parties in town.

James and the guys will be putting on one of their famous all you can eat BBQ’s for 150rmb (including a free beer) with great prices on Aussie beers and wine provided by the bloody brilliant guys at Just Beer.

Put your name down below if you can make it and lets go support two of the clubs best supporters.

You flamin’ Galah’s!

Now we are all back in the swing of things lets get back on track with some off season training! We need to start working on some important stuff for the 2012 season and I cant think of a better place to start than The Camel!

Firstly we need the 2012 Bashers Shot sorting out. This may seem insignificant to many but these will be forced upon you at a moments notice with no warning so we defiantly need to work on the recipe from last year.

The selected mix last season was;

Whisky
Drambuie
Grenadin
Lime
Bitters
Tabasco

Now i’m not saying this wasn’t an inspired selection but it did taste fairly rough. As always the Bashers strive to improve and we defiantly cant fail to improve on this.

So, come down for a drink and an open discussion and maybe a taste test or 2 this Thursday 12th from around 7pm.

Also after a few testers we can start practicing a reenactmentof this….

Yo guys!!! Check this out… the peeps from PubcrawlShanghai are organizing a big Boat Cruise party for all the sports teams in Shanghai. This looks like a cracker of a night as it starts with a pre-party at our very own “EL CAMEL” and moves over to the Huangpu river (I’m on a Boat!) with a “happy ending” at a VIP party on the Bund (I think…). Tickets are 250RMB and includes free flow beer and all that jazz. Have a look below and let me know if ur in by Monday so we can start organizing tickets (family and friends all invited!). BRING IT!

Fall Sports Boat Cruise

The Fall Sports Boat Cruise, held on November 25th, 2011, is a great way for teams to bond, meet other athletes and sports enthusiasts around Shanghai and enjoy a ride down the river while listening to a live band and drinking free-flow beer and discounted cocktails. Dates and friends not affiliated with a team are more than welcome to join us for this fun and memorable evening that will set the stage for valuable networking opportunities.

Each league attends a pre-party at a sponsoring venue from 6-8pm, where a bus picks up participants and transports them to the boat for a two hour ride down the Huangpu from 9:15-11:15pm, bringing them to a VIP after-party to end the night in style.

The cost for the party is 250rmb per pre-sale ticket or 300rmb at the door (discounted packages of 20 tickets per team are available for 4,400rmb). Each ticket includes bus transportation to and from each pickup location, flow beer during a two-hour boat cruise and 35rmb mixed drinks, live band and DJ.
Attire is dress to impress!
