Bob's New Year's Eve Party Venue Details

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 19:17:17 -0700

Bob McCracken is holding a New Year's Eve party for us and it promises to be a huge event. Many of us have been to parties at his Somerton Park home before and they've always been packed. A slight change of plan, though. In view of the large attendance expected, Bob will instead hold his party at the Warradale home of a friend. It has a huge yard, a swimming pool and ample dance room. Contact Gareth for the address.

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 17:38:55 -0700

Leonie had planned to hold a shared lunch around the swimming pool of her new Netley home on Sunday 18th March. She has now discovered that another function she particularly wants to attend is on that date, so she has brought hers forward to Sunday 11th March. She has gained a reputation for holding a great party in the past and this one will no doubt be a winner.

Susie's Party Deferred

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 12:17:02 -0700

Susie has been forced to defer the house party she had planned for Saturday 10th February. This will be a disappointment for her as well as us as she was very much looking forward to holding the event. We accept her sincere apologies and have no doubt that she will re-schedule as soon as she is able to.

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:09:52 -0700

On Sunday 12th November 2006 Vaike held yet another Shared Lunch / Pool Party at her Bellevue Heights home. Its an entertainer's delight with a big verandah and a very big swimming pool. You can find a report and pictures ...here...

Viv's Party was Well attended

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 13:04:57 -0700

Around fifty people attended the Shared Lunch / House-warming at Viv's Oaklands Park home last Sunday. The weather was mild and windy, but in her sheltered backyard that wasn't a problem. Many thanks to her for welcoming us into her lovely home.

Richard's BBQ/House Party Fundraiser Was A Winner

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Sat, 25 Mar 2006 02:21:15 -0700

Around 120 people attended Richard's BBQ/House Party last Saturday night. The weather was quite mild and in the tradition we are used to, his Edwardstown backyard buzzed and hummed all evening with the sounds of conversation, music and dancing.

The event raised $580, of which $400 was donated to the Adelaide Zoo, $140 was given to the Chinese Moon Bear Rescue Appeal and $40 went to the Port River Dolphin appeal.

This type of event is an extremely successful way for people to meet other single people in a relaxed environment. Its a great deal better then the bar and 'meat market' scene.

Shared Lunches Steam Ahead

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 01:13:28 -0700

One of our greatest success stories is the Shared Lunches held usually on Sundays at our member's homes. Last Sunday 26th February, that success continued unabated with an attendance of fifty people at Pam's Hazelwood Park home. Her expansive backyard provided a perfect setting to relax with a drink or two and get to know some other single people in a similar age group.

Once again, a good sprinkling of newcomers to our network ensured the atmosphere remained lively and interesting. In the shade of a large pepper tree, on a neatly cut lawn, members reclined in folding chairs, holding plates filled with a selection from the many delightful dishes our guests contributed.

Our next Shared Lunch is on 5th March at Wendy's Athelstone home. The North Adelaide Walking Group will combine their walk and lunch with this function, so it should be a great turnout.

Irish Bush Dance Date Change

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:31:17 -0700

Going Places With Gareth always has a couple of tables reserved at the Irish Hall in Carrington Street, Adelaide for the Celtic Music Association's monthly Bush Dance. Its normally held on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 8 PM. Occasionally the date is changed for special reasons.

The date in March has been changed from the 18th to the 11th. If you're a regular attendee, please note this date. If you've never tried this fabulous fun activity, give it a go. Entry is $6. Children are welcome. Wear cool, comfortable clothes.

Celtic Music Cruise Was Wonderful

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 21:46:59 -0700

On a warm, sunny afternoon 500 people aboard the Dolphin Cruises "Explorer" helped to raise a large sum of money to help pay for the new P.A. system in the Irish Association Hall, Carrington Street, Adelaide. 180 of them were Going Places With Gareth network members.

We left Port Adelaide at 2.30 PM and cruised along the Port River almost to Outer Harbour before returning. Bands of Celtic musicians played aboard the boat moving from one level to another. The three-level vessel is huge, easily accomodating the number that were on board. Feedback was extremely positive with smiles all around when the trip ended.

A similar trip is planned for 5th November.

Next Semaphore Palais Dance Party

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 23:38:13 -0700

The Semaphore Palais on The Esplanade at Semaphore is a classy venue and the Grand Ballroom is just grand! We've had numerous Singles Dance Parties there and they have been exceptionally well attended. Its definitely a favourite venue with our network. Our next event there is planned for 27th May, 2006. The band, subject to confirmation, is likely to be highly praised duo "Two Hard Basket".

Marion Hotel Dinner Scores A High Mark

gareth@garethevents.info (Gareth) — Sat, 04 Feb 2006 17:11:17 -0700

Impressed guests is the name of the game in the hotel industry. On Friday 3rd February the Marion Hotel at Mitchell Park achieved exactly that for sixty of us. The meals and service were first rate. We dined in the lovely Mitchell Room which has a warm and friendly atmosphere along with highly appealing decor.

After the meal we moved into the main dining room where fab duo "Boris Loves To Boogie" played up a storm. We danced and chatted the night away in a classy establishment which emits lots of good vibes. Feedback was overwhelmingly in favour of a return to this venue in the near future.
