Presentation Night

The Monash University Volleyball 2002 Presentation night was a huge 'hit' and was a great way to conclude the State League season. All were "dressed to suppress Tony," as opposed to 'impress' and 'depress' him in previous years. It was a night where the girls could dress up, let their hair down, and guys weren't quite as sweaty for once. The venue was ideal and the photos of 2002 volleyball projected onto the wall throughout the night, which brought back some good memories of tournaments and let's not forget the Yarra Cruise (or can't we remember?) (thanks for the memories, Appsy). It was a clever initiative of the committee to introduce ping pong balls to each of the tables, which gave members a chance to throw these little treasures at our wonderful coaches and other crazy volleyballers who rambled on for far too long. Well done to Slammer for proving to be an  entertaining presenter, but where was 'Mini me?' Yes, we all loved his outfit! Thanks to Baz for the President's shout at the bar, due to all volleyballers who successfully and simultaneously won games at one of the rounds during State League. Congratulations to all those who won awards, both trophies and embarrassing paper awards you can take home and make paper planes out of. We hope to see you all again next year for some more fun and games and stories to tell.

Yarra Cruise

The Monash Volleyball Yarra Cruise was held on Sat 23rd March proved to be a major success, with a healthy turn-out of 65 people and fun had by all. A DJ provided most  of the entertainment, and let us not forget the talented, lovely pole dancers (alias Monash volleyball chicks and friends who had only a few drinks). The bar was handing out beer at an alarming rate, we obviously broke a record as the boat had to reload its supplies shortly before the night was over. The weather was perfect and was pleasant enough to gather a crowd on the deck outside. We cruised along the Yarra, with a magnificent view of Southbank and we made our way towards Williamstown and back and forth and back and forth. Thanks to all who came.
