As many of you know, we’re bringing back the Zoolander Walk Off with the help of QUT Mixed Netty.

It’s scheduled for Saturday the 30th of August upstairs at the Port Office.  Check out the flyer on our Fundraising page for more details, or check out the Facebook event.

There’ll be drink specials on entry ($10 arm band = $2 local beers and $4 spirits until midnight!), much entertainment, and no doubt a very large number of embarrassing photos making future denial impossible.

Bring everyone you’ve ever met!

Mr T

Like Shanas said just recently, it’d be great if we could all support the other teams.  We’re all in the same boat when it comes to paying for these trips, and more importantly, they’ll do the same for us if we do!

Hey everyone,

This is just a quick message to acknowledge our sponsors for the New Zealand Uni Games tour. You can find them in our Sponsors page.

With their help, we’ve managed to arrange an entire playing kit for this tour including new playing shirts and shorts. Our sponsors feature prominently on this gear and I’m sure we’ll get noticed on court for the uniforms as well as our amazing volleyball ability (except for Rags who will only get noticed for his chiselled body).

So a big thanks to our sponsors. Thanks to you guys, this trip looks like being a whole new level of awesome.

Hi all,

Well the two tournaments we’re running are coming up fast.

The first, on March 25th will see the First VI teams from the AIC and GPS school competitions go head to head at Gregory Terrace.  QUT Volleyball will need bodies at the venue to man the canteen, referee, and generally run the show.  It seems that most of the invited schools are aching to meet each other on the court, so this should be a big tournament.

The second tournament is on the following weekend, on March 31st.  QUT will be expected to put some teams in, so we’ll need even more people to play.  We’ve got a few extra volunteers, and a few extra players, but the more help we can get the better. Due to a late cancellation, the venue for this tournament has been changed to Marist College Ashgrove.  There are three courts available there, which should mean extra games for all teams.

QUT (through Package) is arranging some inaugrual trophies so we can make this an annual event and bring a bit of prestige to it.

See you all there!

Hey guys and gals,

Hopefully by now you’re all well aware of the tour to New Zealand from Tuesday 10th to Friday 13th of April. It’ll cost around $1000 for the trip, and you’ll need to start getting money together for plane tickets pretty soon. You can probably get your return airfares for around $420 or so including taxes.

I have a few guys who are definites at this point, but unfortunately not a whole team. At the moment the only people I’m 100% sure are coming are myself, Shanas, and LG. If you want to be added to this list, let me know very soon.

For the girls, I’m not sure whether we’ll get enough for an indoor team. They do have beach volleyball at the games though, so let me know if you’re keen for that.

To be safe, I’ll assume you’re probably not coming until you’ve bought your plane ticket. If you haven’t done that by the end of February, I won’t be counting on you at all. Shanas, LG and I have tentatively decided to leave Brisbane on Saturday the 7th, and return on Sunday the 15th.

In terms of how much of the cost can be covered fundraising and sponsorship, expect to pay for your airfares at least. Shanas and I are onto a few money-making ideas so we’ll see what we can do about the rest. To be safe, work on the assumption that we won’t get any money, then you’ll be right when we do. On this point as well, if you know any company who’d like to chuck in some dollars, put them onto myself or Shanas, or at least let us know.

So let me know if you’re a definite and we’ll start organising. Hopefully once we know who is keen, we can all have a meeting (with alcohol of course) to talk about how it’s going to go.
