A Message From Dome

Hi guys!

Spring is definitely upon us and the numbers of cyclists arriving at the cafe on Saturday morning is increasing just like the temperature.

I just wanted to let you all know that I am currently working on acquiring some new granite tables for our al fresco area to increase seating capacity for summer.

We also have some bike racks on the way that will enable you to rack your bikes when you come in for a coffee. Hurrah!

Most of you don’t know this – but getting approval for having cyclists come to the cafe as been a huge drama. It’s taken me ten months of negotiation with our building management to come to a arrangement that we are both happy with.

The good news is cyclists on Saturday mornings have the green light! All we ask is that you look after the building and your bikes when you are in the area, and when the racks arrive please use them.

Thanks again to you all for supporting the cafe. We all certainly love having you here – and the more the merrier!

If any of you have any questions about the cycling – coffee relationship, want to use the place for a function, or want your coffee remade because we didn’t get it right – please don’t hesitate to ask me. I’m the one guy wandering around behind the bar in lycra, or chewing stem in Main 1.

Thanks again,

Toby

DOME pre-opening – tuesday 1st nov

DOME - Westralia Plaza

 amongst all the CHOGM news that has been flooding the press lately, you may have heard about another big thing to open in perth.  unfortunately, the queen will not be officially opening the new DOME cafe, but in spr world this is pretty big news.  after months of delays, and us riding around with a non-existent cafe advertised on our kit, we can say that it is so close now, you can almost smell the coffee.

wednesday 2nd nov is the big grand opening with saturday 5th being our first official ride finish at the DOME.  however, there is more to this post than just free advertising for toby.

on tuesday 1st nov between 7am – 9am, toby wants to test out the staff in a special free breakfast for any spr member.  basically, after the tuesday earlybird ride, you head up to the new DOME and get yourself fed and watered for free.  if you work in the city, feel free to head home first to get changed before making your way to the cafe.  all members have to do is present their cycling australia memberhip card that shows you are a current member of south perth cycle club and you are right to enter.

as this is to test out his staff a day before the grand opening, he would like about 50 or so people to take advantage of it.  the idea is to spread yourselves out around the entire cafe and not just all sit in a group together.  the cafe is 70m long with a mezzanine level as well, so there should be lots of spots to lounge about.

for those that don’t know, the adress is 167 st georges terrace in the shadow of the new bhp building and runs alongside the walkway down to the esplanade busport.

come along and help toby out by eating his free food and coffee.
