A Huge, Massive, Enormous THANK-YOU to all the helpers for the 2012 Raw Nationals and Pacific Invitational! Especially to the Melbourne Uni volunteer army that always shows up to make sure the job gets done, no matter what the size. I know there are still chalk bowls, a dais and odds and ends still in …
To the delight of thirty-ish MUWPC members and disappointment of Robert Wilks, the club’s Christmas Party and AGM rolled into Percy’s Bar on 9 December, 2011. Whilst Robert would have preferred the fare at Longrain, everyone else downed their parmas in good cheer. Highlights of the AGM included President David’s review of our club members’ …
During the warmer months of 2012, MUWPC found itself venturing into the ancient art of Karaoke. With 15 muscled diaphragms packed into a small private room, FM Lounge was always going to erupt. Predicable favourites were trotted out alongside some more obscure Kenny Rogers and Dean Martin numbers. Little Nick showed us he’s not just …
Australian-born Dutch lifter (and IPF World Championship silver medallist!) Pjotr Van Den Hoek, visited the MUWPC for a quick training session and to catch up with a few old mates during his visit to Aus. This follows on from Brad Gillingham, who dropped by before delivering his amazing WR performance at last year’s Nationals/Pacific Invitational, …

With over 90% of the work being done by MUWPC volunteers, we …
After weeks of speculation over just who is the club’s finest golfer, six MUWPC members descended on Royal Park Golf Course last Saturday to find an answer. Pre-match favourite David Jame had been busily talking down his chances leading up to the Classic, but it didn’t bode well for the rest of the field when …
The natural order of the World was restored at the 2011 Australian Championships, with Melbourne University regaining the men’s team title after it had been snatched by the Queensland University pretenders in 2010. Another verity also asserted itself in the running of the Championships, with Melbourne Uni people doing almost all of the set up, …

Melbourne’s loss is Perth’s gain! On very short notice, the Flanagans, or as Rob affectionately named them, “Mr and Mrs Irish” have moved across the country to W.A.! However, I’m told it’s only temporary. Even so, this is sad news for the MUWPC as Club Vice-President, Marcus and Property Officer, Laura, became almost instaneously integrated …
