1. ANZAC
DAY EVENT – TICKECTS ON SALE
It’s that time of year for one of NYC’s
not-to-be-missed events! This year’s annual ANZAC Day Party extravaganza will
be held on Saturday the 22nd of April and promises to be bigger and
better than ever! Once again the huge
get together will be at the NEW AND
IMPROVED Frying Pan dock. The venue
has added another bar to reduce wait time and has added another deck above the
dance floor, which offers an unobstructed view of the Hudson River and the famous
Entry includes a FREE all-you-can-eat BBQ courtesy of Outback Steakhouse from
2pm-6pm, Live music, dancing, a DJ playing current and
classic Aussie Tunes, 5 drink tickets which can be used at any time during the
event, heaps of FREE door prizes and all day giveaways!!! Authentic Meat Pies will be available for
purchase from DUB Pies.
There will be plenty of Coopers, Tooheys New, Boags and Aussie
wine as well as plenty of other brands of beer, wine, liquors, and
non-alcoholic drinks. Not that we’re
advocating heavy drinking or anything. Just have one of each.
Buy in advance to guarantee entry, save money, receive
automatic entry into the FREE raffle, and get a free Magpies stubby holder upon
checking in.
Get your tickets in advance for just $50 at http://nyfooty.com/ or pay $60 at the door. We will all be there late into the night so
come down as soon as you can to join in.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to an RSL / War Veterans Fund.
