The table is booked for us under the name of "Russell" from 10.20pm to midnight. You will have to wear your clothes in this venue, sorry. If you could send an email to Russell and Michael to let us know that you would like to come along that would help with the seating arrangements. Please send your email to Assistant Leader Russell.

Facemasks are not required to be worn but you may wear a mask if you would prefer. Hand sanitiser will be provided. Once introductions are completed, we will proceed to the bowling area. When advised by the Event Leader, everyone may then undress. All clothes can be left at the rear of the bowling alley. You may wish to bring a small bag for your clothes. There should be no problem with security, but we recommend that you do not bring valuables into the venue, as we are unable to take responsibility for any losses. The time allocated for bowling is 8pm until 10pm. Bowling shoes will be provided for all. You will each be able to select a suitable bowling ball to use during the evening, and then can join in with others at any one of the lanes. Do not worry if you are on your own, we will ensure that everyone finds a group to bowl with. You do not need to be experienced in 10 pin bowling. This is all about having fun with like minded people. Depending on the number of bowlers at each lane, you can typically expect to complete up to two games. There will be a small competition with prizes which will be awarded based on the individual scores of the first game.  In order to maintain everyone's privacy, please note that no photographs will be permitted except as advised by the Event Leader on the night. Phones are not to be used during the evening, and we thank you for assisting us with this. Please see the Event Leader if you have any concerns.

A pleasant naturist walk to the top of a forest ridge, just south of Bendigo for great views to the south. Lunch at the top and hopefully some wildflowers to see along the way.

We then plan to return to Kangaroo Flat to the Windermere Hotel bistro for cool drinks, coffee and snacks. If you wish, you can stay on for dinner which starts at 5.30pm. If you happen to be travelling by public transport, it is an 8 min (550m) walk to the train station. For details see the Public Transport section below.

Enjoy a pleasant day walking along the picturesque Merri Creek on a moderate walk through the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne. The walk includes some hidden gems as well as a good array of birdlife, the result of many years of replanting indigenous vegetation. The often-shady trail hugs the creek intimately, with wetlands, cable suspension bridges, parks and veggie gardens.

After crossing the old trestle railway bridge, we will then pick up the Inner Circle Rail Trail, a linear reserve remaining from what is left of the abandoned railway line that stopped running in 1981 after a long history of service. The trail now serves as a shared bicycle path connecting the Merri and Moonee Ponds Creeks. We will discuss the history of the line and your leader will point out the locations of the old stations and the existing infrastructure that remains today. Moving further west our walk concludes at Jewell Station, where those who travelled by car will take the train back to the beginning point of the walk.
