Events
Adelaide Talks and Walks
All FairSharers and their friends are invited to our “Start of Season Talks and Walks”. A small group of us gather for coffee and some FairShare chat, and afterwards those who want to, take a short walk together somewhere nearby.
We started doing this four times a year in 2007 as an easy and pleasant way for members to keep in touch face-to-face if the mood takes them. Our numbers have ranged from two to nine!
The 2010 schedule is:
| AUTUMN: | Saturday 6 March 2010 at 11:00am: At the Elder Park Café on the edge of the Festival Centre complex, a few metres south of the Elder Rotunda on the River Torrens. Do the Kaurna History Walk or ramble or fast walk to Adelaide Zoo or the Botanic Gardens. Or take a river trip on Popeye. |
|---|---|
| WINTER: | Saturday 5 June 2010 at 11:00am: At the Adelaide Botanic Gardens kiosk (the old one). Then walk in the Gardens or along the River Torrens. |
| SPRING: | Saturday 4 September 2010 at 11:30am: At Parisi’s Café, 613 Magill Rd, Magill (right near the corner with St Bernard’s Rd). Then walk in Morialta or Black Hill Conservation Park. |
| SUMMER: | Saturday 4 December 2010 at 10:00am: Meet at Grange Jetty Café. You could take the train from the city to Grange and then it’s only a short walk to the Café. |
