* Frankston forecast for Easter Monday: 25°C * Cloudy. Medium chance of showers, most likely later in the day. Winds north to northeasterly 15 to 20 km/h increasing to 25 km/h before tending north to northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h during the day. * More info at this link closer to the day: * http://reg.bom.gov.au/places/vic/frankston/forecast/detailed/#d2026-04-06 * **Ride**: This is a group ride to Sorrento at a moderate pace specifically for distance rather than speed. So, other than climbing the few short hills, we'll endeavour to keep close as a group. We regroup after hills and have one or two breaks, eg Safety Beach. **Speed**: 25-30 kmh in a group on flat ground, winds permitting. (Typical speeds, not average). **Note**: This is a ride intended for **Upper Intermediates**, please. There are some bike-lanes but not everywhere. You should be confident in traffic. We meet in Frankston and ride to Mornington and beyond then via the esplanade and the rolling coastal hills of Mt Martha to Safety Beach. From Safety Beach it's a flat ride to Sorrento for lunch. After lunch, we will do a 15 min ride to the lookout before returning to Frankston. Coming back is via the same route. **Map and GPS files**: [https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30164847](https://ridewithgps.com/routes/30164847) **Bike**: Lightweight road-bikes only in good mechanical condition. **Getting there**: Flinders St 8:27 train arrives Frankston at 9:31 and cycle with me to the Centre (see location map). I'll be on the train in the last carriage. Driving? You'll need to park a little away from the Visitors Centre where it's not restricted parking. Please allow enough time to be early to the start. The Visitors Centre has closed however toilets are available 50m south. **Bring**: Water, sunscreen, tube, tools, snack food, energy bars, lunch and emergency money (eg maxicab), your phone with my number. *A bright flashing tail-light is recommended.* **Contact**: Neil Griffiths, 0419 560 409 \***Photos**: London Bridge (Jan '19) --Cycling to the lookout (Jan '19) - See photo album below.

EASTER SUNDAY Meetup. ALL MALES MUST ATTEND WITH A FEMALE FRIEND. All who have an interested in ASIAN CULTURE are welcome to attend! Everybody is welcome!

**This Easter Sunday**, take a pause from the busy world and immerse yourself in the bliss of Kirtan. Through sacred chanting and collective energy, we create a space for joy, connection, and inner peace. Come as you are and experience the magic of togetherness. No experience needed, just bring yourself and an open heart. **Enjoy a nourishing vegan/vegetarian dinner together after the session.**

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
