MannyT Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys/Hallo julleI am helping Mark and Julie Stockhausen organise the South African get together at the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 19 October 2008.Location and map available on Mark's initial post under the "Events" forum, or just Google Mount Lofty Garden. Map location: Lower entrance Lampert Road to Picadilly Road at the Aboretum (location 8), just below the dam wall. We are thinking of providing beach balls, Frisbees etc for the kids to play with and to provide name tags for everybody. If you have any ideas of how we can make this function a great sucess and a memorable one, please let us know.Almal is welkom. Young ,old, established Adelaideans, new arrivals from South Africa, Afrikaans speaking , English speaking, everybody is welcome. I understand that there are now about 6000 South Africans (and ex South Africans ) living in South Australia so lets see how many we can get to attend this function.Geniet jou dag!Manny Edited October 2, 2008 by MannyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticker will display the participant's first name and their RSA location. I will also try and get some beach balls/frizbees etc for the younger kids to play with.See you on Sunday. Lets hope that the weather is good.Enjoy!Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MannyT Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 (edited) Ginnie is wondering if there is a barbeque on site, or do we just bring cold food?Sorry Bob there are no "braai' facilities at the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens. We thought that we would keep it simple by picking a beautiful venue and having a "picnic" style gathering instead - so no burnt meat for lunch for you this Sunday Seeya!!Manny Edited October 17, 2008 by MannyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just want to say a big thanks to Mark & Julie for getting the event off the ground and also to Manny for helping to organise the show.I reckon about fifty folk turned up, with some old faces and some brand new faces. The afternoon was a bit cool, but still enjoyable, especially with a few Carlton Cold stubbies that "disappeared" out of my young bloke's bar fridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
