We are heading back to Dos Dingos Bar and Brewery to watch the Socceroos play Argentina in the World Cup quarterfinal at Dos Dingos.
Dos Dingos' Mati and Nico did a great job for the group stage games and we can think of no better place to see the big clash.
Dos Dingos Cerveza Independiente, Calle de la Cañada 7, 28860 Paracuellos de Jarama (Madrid)
Paracuellos de Jarama is a bit of a hike, on the other side of Madrid Barajas Airport, but the effort is well worth it.
Dos Dingos have a special beer and burger pre-order with discount. Very tempting as both beers and burgers are excellent.

This is a delayed showing of the game so avoid all contact with Australia and the internet in general on the day, especially if your team is playing. That way the match won’t be ruined for you.
A word of warning. If anyone even hints at the final result they will be obliged to pay for a round of drinks for everyone present. And judging by the good turnout in previous years that could be costly.
Entrance is free.

Come and join Gudonya at our next event Drinks in Madrid de los Austrias.
We’ve found a lovely square in central Madrid and a great bar that will look after us.
The plan is to meet for drinks (coffee, tea, beer, wine, copas or whatever you fancy) but there will also be food on hand If you get the nibbles. There is also an option for dinner for those who stay to the end.
The event is family-friendly so kids are welcome. The bar is on a quiet square so young and old can run around to their heart's delight. I’m tempted to bring the cricket bat and a taped-up tennis ball, and play a few overs. There is a rubbish bin in the middle of the square that would make for perfect stumps.
We are working hard to get some Coopers beer for the big day. Let us know if you prefer Pale, Sparkling or Extra Stout.
The event is free and pay-as-you-go for what you consume. RSVP by return email, Facebook or the gudonya.org contact page

The big game will be showed at the Irish Rover, Avenida de Brasil 7, on Saturday 30 September at 2:30 pm.
The match is a delayed telecast so in keeping in tradition, anyone who hints at the final result will have to shout the bar. Judging by how much we drink, it could be a costly mistake.

In what has been one of the most controversial decisions made by organisers, Eurovision has extended an invitation to Australia to take part in final of the European song competition on Saturday.
Gudonya will be getting together to enjoy this momentous occasion to watch Guy Sebastian to make history.
The venue for the party is Bambalinas Bar on calle Pelayo, 74, a perfect place as it has dedicated itself to Eurovision this week. The final starts on Saturday at 9 p.m. so arrive early to secure a spot. The bar's website is www.bambalinasbar.com.
INTRODUCTION TO WINE TASTING AND SPANISH WINES
As requested by numerous members, we have organised a wine tasting and tapas evening on Friday 27 February. Some of you may know that Luis, who will host the evening, has worked many years in the wine industry including the areas of winemaking, distribution, journalism, competition judging, teaching and gastronomic events.
Being the first ever wine event we have organised for Gudonya and considering the range of people who have already expressed interest in attending, the evening will begin with a brief introduction to wine tasting, which will be followed by four wines that represent Spain well. Theory and practice. The evening will finish with a range of lovely tapas for dinner, during which we can discuss food and wine matching.
WHERE
El Colmado de Chema
Calle Alburquerque, 3
28010 Madrid
Between Glorietas de Bilbao and Quevedo
WHEN
Friday 27 February at 8pm
PRICE AND CONDITIONS
27 euros
Maximum 24 people
Reservations and deposit required
Why charge beforehand? The nature of the evening is different to all other Gudonya events for a number of different reasons. We want to discourage people from booking and not turning up. Food and wine will be bought and prepared especially for the evening and has to be paid for. Although the room appears large, there is only space for 24 people and we want as many as possible to enjoy the event. We suspect it will be a full house. Your money will be refunded if you cancel at least 48 hours before the start of the tasting. However, even if you have paid and you cannot attend, we will return your money if others make a reservation in your place, which we strongly suspect will be the case. There will be a waiting list to facilitate this.
To reserve or ask any questions, please fill out the form below.
We hope to see you there!
With the end of January fast approaching, it's time to celebrate Australia Day, which always seems to have more significance when you are away from home.
This year Gudonya has organised to get together in a more relaxed, intimate venue in central Madrid with a decidedly Australian feel, Federal Café, very different to the big parties with live music we have organised in the past.
As 26 January is a school night, we will be meeting earlier, 7 pm, and there will be be food available for those looking to have a spot of dinner before heading home. We want this year's event to be family oriented, meaning kids are more than welcome!
Federal Café, Pl. de las Comendadoras 9, 28015 Madrid,
We hope to see you there!
Gudonya!
PS. If you any questions, please let us know.
