Dragon Boat Introduction
Come outside! Try something different! A bit of exercise with good company, maybe challenge yourself in a team environment.
Join us - **Southern Storm Paddle Club** - for a Saturday morning session to give Dragon Boating a go!
**Introduction session**
We host an introduction session regularly on Saturday mornings — 8.30 to 10.30.am at 912 Collins St, Docklands VIC 3008.
For the first part of the session, we will provide you a safety briefing and some demonstrations on basic paddling technique. Then you will join our club for their regular \*on water\* training session. There will be a small coffee catch up after the session at the nearby café.
Once you complete the introduction session, you can join us on regular weekday trainings and ***paddle for free for 30 days*** (with a valid Dragon pass - free to register).
**To join us**, simply RSVP to the event on Meetup and email/message your contact details (email or phone number) to our host if this is your first time attending the session.
We will provide a PFD (life jacket) and paddle. We recommend you bring a drink bottle, sun protection and clothes for change as you may get wet in the boat. There are shower facilities and lockers at the boat hub.
More specifics will be provided to you the day before the event!
**Can't make it** on Saturday session? We also train on Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6pm. Contact us and see what we can arrange.
**Southern Storm Paddle Club** trains all year around in Docklands, weather permitting. (Rain is not an issue!)

The Grand Urban Bike Loop — Flirty, Leafy & Full‑Circle Fun - 50+km - Hard
**🚲 Eat Drink Dance Melbourne: The Grand Urban Bike Loop — Flirty, Leafy & Full‑Circle Fun**
Ready to stretch your legs, wake up those “long‑forgotten” cycling muscles, and glide through Melbourne’s prettiest corridors with a crew that knows how to mix movement, mischief, and good company? Join us for a long, relaxed, social urban ride that loops the city in one big, scenic swoop — starting and finishing at Skyline Ferris Wheel and the 🥰Love Cafe
****### Before you consider joining this event, read the group rules section at the end ###****
🌿 **The Route: A Melbourne Love Letter on Two Wheels**
We roll out from the Skylight be Erris Wheel and hit the Capital City Trail eastward, cruising under canopies of green until we meet the Outer Circle Rail Trail at the Eastern Freeway. From there, we weave through the leafy middle suburbs toward Oakleigh, letting the pace stay friendly, chatty, and delightfully unhurried.
Next, we slip onto the Rosstown Rail Trail toward Elsternwick, glide down to Elwood Beach, and join the sparkling Bay Trail all the way to Port Melbourne. Sun, sea breeze, and a bit of flirtatious drafting encouraged.
Finally, we arc back along bike paths to where it all began — Transport Bar — for a well‑earned snack, drink, and post‑ride glow.
**🚆Choose Your Own Adventure**
There are multiple train stations along the way, so you can peel off whenever you’ve had your fill — or stay with the group for the full, triumphant circuit. No pressure, no peloton politics.
**⏱️Pace & Breaks**
This is a relaxed ride, perfect for:
- Warming up sleepy muscles
- Building confidence from previous urban rides
- Chatting, laughing, and rolling as a social pack
We’ll take a short break roughly every 3/4 hour to hydrate, snack, have lunch at a cafe if we find one, stretch, and exchange a little friendly banter.
**🔧What to Bring**
- Your bike (any style welcome)
- Helmet (required)
- Bike lock
Spare inners and tools for the unlikely tyre flat
Sun screen
- Water + snacks
Consider RACV Bike assist
for $24/year (Ger Arevco Bike navigation app for discount)
- A sense of humour and a willingness to flirt with the breeze, the route, and maybe a rider or two
🍻 **Finish Line**
We end where we began — Skyline Ferris Wheel — for a celebratory bite and drink. Think of it as your medal ceremony, but with better lighting and more winks.
**Group Rules and Event Etiquette**
**Fitness Requirements**:
**Riding:** 10 to 15km/hr
Ensure you have adequate fitness, it's unfair for the group to wait extended periods for you. You may be asked to exit the event as a consequence.
**Very Fast or Very Slow People**
As a group activity the organiser can't manage the group if people are everywhere, please consider going by yourself, joining faster groups or having adequate fitness or be asked to exit the event.
**Busy People**
Best to give yourself some wiggle room, or not attend the event if you have time constraints. Things rarely go to time, especially when having fun.
**⚠️+++VERY IMPORTANT+++**
**People Who Do A No Show**.
This is too common for small group events, there may be people on a waitlist wanting to come on the event and hence very inconsiderate. Remove yourself from the going list at least 24 hours before the event to give people on the waitlist an opportunity. **If you do a No Show you will likely be removed and blocked from the group**.
If you remove yourself from the event an hour or two before the event (flaking) you may also be blocked and removed from the group if there is a waitlist, very unfair to those people.
**People Not On The Going List**
This is a major security concern, **DO NOT TURN UP RANDOMLY**.You will be asked to leave the event unless you have made arrangements with the organiser **PRIOR** to the event.
**People Who Are Late**
You will be left behind and or removed and blocked from the group as a **No Show**. It is your responsibility to communicate with the organiser if you will be late. It's up to you to catch up. This may not be possible for some events.
🤔**Second Chances**
Please communicate with the organiser if you do not want to be blocked and removed from the group
🚩**Disclaimer: No Liability & Organiser Indemnity**
By participating in this event, you acknowledge and accept full personal responsibility for your own safety, wellbeing, and belongings. The organiser assumes no liability for injury, loss, or damage incurred during the activity. Participation is entirely at your own risk.

O'Keefe Rail Trail - Easy 50km off road Bike Ride along the Wine regions of Vic
Who loves bike riding? I certainly do and this is one of my favourite bike rides in central Victoria.
So let's get on a train to Bendigo and get on our bikes.. *Train rides on V-line are currently free until end Jan 2026..*
The O’Keefe Rail trail is a popular cycling path stretching roughly 50km between Bendigo to Heathcote. We will ride to Axedale (half way point) and turn around back to Bendigo. Built along the former rail corridor, the trail offers a smooth, mostly gentile ride suitable for beginners through to experienced cyclists.
The bike ride will typically take 3 hours @ 16km/hr to complete without any stops.
However, we plan to stop along wineries for some wine tasting and a couple of stops at Axedale Tavern and Farmers Arms Hotel for food and beverage (including coffees/teas).
I plan to arrive back to Bendigo station at around 4-5pm where we head back to Melbourne by train.
This will be a fun day out.

Photography at St Kilda Beach (and maybe capture kite surfers)
We had to reschedule the Explore Bendigo for the day on Saturday due to extreme heat. Given Sunday will be a cooler and hopefully a windy day, let's explore St Kilda beach to try and capture scenes in this rather lively place. If we are lucky, we may be able to capture some highly skilled kite surfers near the St Kilda pier. This will be a very casual event for the day.
If you have a zoom lens, it might be a great opportunity for you to capture those surfers in action. Otherwise, get your other lenses out to capture street photography at the beach.
Draft Schedule
4.00pm - Meet in front of Luna Park - Welcome and introduction
4.15pm - Head towards St Kilda Pier to explore the area in your own time.
6.15pm - Regroup in front of Luna Park
6.30pm - Dinner at Iddy Biddy Bar 35/39 Blessington St, St Kilda
7.45pm - Optional to join us for Sunset Photography (location TBA)
8.30pm - Event ends

Family Board Games
Looking for a fun, screen-free way to spend your Sunday afternoon? Join us every other week at the Community Center for a few hours of friendly competition and laughter.

Fairfax Home Board Game Fun!
This will be a fun night of board games hosted at our house! Feel free to bring some games if you'd like. No experience necessary, I will be happy to teach any and all games. Click [HERE ](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s-kHTgssAccloaJENey7_Xy_uT-AqyjTJYVEp88zis8/edit#gid=0)to see my games library.
Below are some important logistical details.
* Arrive on time! - I will typically wait about 15 minutes after to begin playing. If you come much later than that games will be in progress and there is a high probability you won't be able to play a game that night as we usually only run two to three tables and often only play one game per table per night.
* Ring the doorbell if the door is not open. I can't hear anyone knocking on the door as we are in the basement. You can also send me a message on Meet up if you would prefer for me to let you in.
* If you would like to bring a game to the group that you want to play, please post the game along with a link to a tutorial in the event chat so people can prep to play if they plan on playing too. Also arrive 10-15 minutes early so you can set your game up and be prepared to teach the game.

Board Games at Aslin Beer Company (Izzi)
Come out to a evening filled with fun board games at Aslin Beer Company in Herndon! We play a variety of games, including strategy, co-op, and party games! Always welcoming to people who are brand new to the hobby to those who have been playing for years!
We will be meeting in the Izzi building (not the main taproom), as there is more table space there and is right next to where you can get food and drinks!
There isn't a hard cap on attendees per say, but we would prefer that you sign up in advance so we have a rough head count as to whom to expect! Can't wait to see you all there!
