=== One free entry is currently available ===

=== Bouldering ===

Bouldering is indoor rock climbing without ropes or harnesses. You climb walls up to about 5m in height, then climb back down. It is a fun, physical activity that requires a bit of thinking to work out how you'll tackle each climb as you get to more complicated routes.

I've set up this event as this is my regular climbing day (~9am Saturdays) and I've left it open for anyone who wants to join me or try it out. I'm also climbing Tuesdays ~6pm, but that's not a formal event.

My best so far is level 4/9, so don't count me as a great climber, though I'm getting better; I'm still building strength, learning technique, and getting over my fear of heights.

No prior experience is necessary, as a beginner safety walkthrough and online waiver will be provided on first entry. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Message me on this app if you would like me to meet you at the entrance, even after 9am, as my Airpods will notify me that you've sent the message. Otherwise, Saturday mornings are quiet, and you should be able to find me.

=== Details ===

Price: ~$24 (entry & shoes)

Come down and join us for another fun filled afternoon/evening!
$5 Entry, BYO or play one of groups library games.

No matter if you are new to the group or a regular, we would love to see you at the table for a game or two or three!

Snacks, tea and coffee provided. Cool drinks available for a small fee.

Do you have a game that you would like to move on? Anything you are not getting to the table? Bring it along to our swap and sell table. Please note, sales are done between seller and purchaser and do not involve MDD, thus cash is required, but we can help out with change!

In this series of events, we intend to create an open platform of small groups that meet for conversations about ideas. One need not have attended a TED event or a TEDx event to participate in this event. You are welcome to invite friends, neighbours, strangers to discuss a variety of interesting topics.

It’s a great chance to learn new things and meet new people so we’re seeking new people to ensure we have a variety of voices included in this conversation!

The theme for July 2022 is Resilience.

This meetup is limited to 25 RSVPs. Victoria Park Community Centre have kindly given their space for this meetup format.

The circle will start just after 2 pm and will not go longer than 4 pm. The last half hour is for chatting & networking for those who want to stay after the event.

There’s no obligation to stay beyond 4 pm, but from what we have found in prior events people like to chat and network afterward.

This event is hosted by Activate Mental Health.

We hope to see you there!

Join me for a leisurely Sunday stroll around Jackadder Lake in Woodlands. The lake is approx 1.2 km, so we will aim for 2-3 laps. There is plenty of seating around the lake if you wish to take a break to enjoy the views along the way. After the walk there is the option of catching up at the cafe across the road for a drink (if seating is available) or take away and sit in the park. You can find free street parking along Tamarisk Way which is a short walk to the meeting point (see Map).
