press release #1At this very moment a team of highly skilled artisans are working like ants constructing a fabulous new venue for Klub Kevlars World HQ. Becoming a disillusioned with having to travel to Aucklands 'Mermaid Bar' for corporate meetings, the Klub Kevlar executive met at Melbourne Kevlar annexe, Bar Humbug in Little Collins st to develop a working plan for our own free standing corporate home.
The Jones bunker in leafy Kellyville, NSW was chosen as the location and a development application was submitted and accepted by Baulkham Hills Council to construct a multi level corporate garage/cocktail lounge/business complex, hearafter to be called Mermaid Bar West or "The Tiki Lounge". A proposal to name the venue "Bar Pad" was overturned by chairman Firkin, describing the proposal as "just plain dumb".
One of the most volitile subjects discussed at the now infamous Bar Humbug meeting concerned the proposed decor of the venue. A nautical theme concentrating on speedboat racing was proposed by delegate Phipps but that was dismissed by the executive council because "it'd be all about Phippsy and his Bridge to Bridge Hydroplane activities". Another proposal was to dedicate it to our (
kevlar members) own racing careers, with photographs and our trophies displayed in custom built glass cases. That concept was dismissed by chairman Firkin due to his not actually having any trophies to display, thereby inciting a potential feeling of inadequacy when in residence at the venue. Eventually after some heated debate, the executive agreed on the Tiki Bar format, as it presented an ideal opportunity to display the previously "tacky" souvenirs collected by members over years of visiting holiday beach resorts and so called "island Paradise" holiday venues. Delegate Jones has accumulated a veritable museum of tacky wood carvings, plastic palm trees and other paraphenalia which will provide the foundation for the decor. Other Klub Kevlar members are donating decor items.
It is currently envisioned that the "Grande Gala Opening Luau" will be held in June to enable Klub Kevlars American members, McCook and Siege (
the t shirt guy) and Klub founder Mikey Jolley from NZ who will all be in town for CD6, to attend.
