EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION CLOSES ON FEBRUARY 28th.

The new Riverbank provides some wonderful grassed lawns ideal for a welcoming cocktail party.   You will look actoss the northern parklands along the River Torrens, over the famous Adelaide Oval with its statue of our most famous cricket resident, Sir Donald Bradman, to St Peter's Cathedral. 

It is a wonderful way to get your sense of location together. This first evening is designed specifically to give you a chance to make contact with friends and relatives. Take notes along to pop into the bulletin boards to let people you want to contact them and let them know where you are staying. We will have a welcome to Adelaide speech from a local dignitary, as well as a face or two you'll probably recognise - then some information on the happenings in the Parklands tomorrow. 

As the party ends, there will be coaches waiting to take you to your accommodation - or you can decide to make your own way home later in the evening.

We have negotiated to use these for one day - so there are hockey, rugger and soccer pitches, as well as cricket ovals, tennis courts and facilities for volleyball, croquet, petanque etc. 

By giving us details of your last year at school and which schools you attended, we'll be able to put together PE/St Georges or Townsend / Evelyn matches for example - all graded according to your antiquity! 

If you feel it is unlikely you might play hockey, be warned - you may!  If you are feeling geriatric - you may only have to touch a ball to score a goal. All will be fair! Of course if you are still in your twenties - well that's different! There'll be forfeits and awards galore. You'll be able to feed your family from the range of food stalls set out around the parklands. Another good chance to meet up with old mates.

Here you will find all the ingredients which make up a great Aussie barbeque and we hope to have you bush dancing, listening to folk tales, joining in a sing song and floating serenely up the Murray in a luxury houseboat. 

BBQ packs will be for sale as well as numerous arts and crafts and things Australian. We should return to the city by about 5'30 - so you' ll have a chance to get together and go out on the town, or whatever you feel like.

We're not going to give away too much, but DJ's and entertainers from the past, music from the past and present, from smanje manje to tickie draai with a healthy dose of pop thrown in, will give you the chance to dance the night away till the wee small hours - if you so desire!
