Meet on the coastal path outside the cafe. Look for the "Befriend" flag. Wear comfortable shoes for walking. We will walk/roll for 30 minutes south of Burns Beach and then return as the sun sets. If you don't want to walk the whole distance there are plenty of benches with beautiful views to make use of. You can join us again on our way back. Generally we will walk regardless of the weather. As someone dear to me used to say: "There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing".

Summer rolls along into February and with everything heating up why not come cool down inside for an evening of ten pin bowling at Zone Bowling Morley with the friendly Befriend Bowlers on Sunday the 16th of February from 6 pm - 8 pm.

Whether this is your first time bowling or have been before!, this monthly running event of Befriend Tenpin Bowling always brings a positive experience for our members, who enjoy a game of bowling and meeting new people. No experience required! all are welcome!

If befriend members can please arrive 10 minutes early we can get started exactly at 6 pm. The reception at Zone Bowling will be aware of our group so Tom will have a sheet which you will need to write down your name and number of games you want to bowl and at 6 pm you will need to just simply line up to pay for the number of games you want to play and get your bowling shoes!

The number of games is 2 but I always give members who want to do 1 game that option. The cost for two games is between $15 - $25 but for more information on cost of games you can find on their website https://www.zonebowling.com/bowling-activities/pricing
(note:shoe hire on website price is not included when you go up to pay)

Food and Drinks are optional and there is a cafe of yummy food and drinks available if you may so choose!

Tom also recommends that if you do, for whatever reason are running late, please contact or message Tom on the befriend hotline number so he can notify reception that someone is still arriving. However there have been instances were members have missed out, but can still participate but generally only can end up playing one game.

So with that in mind for late members please make sure you arrive on time or if for what every reason cant make it, please unrsvp on meetup. But if running 10 minutes late, it shouldn't be a problem as most times members are still lining up to play their games!

For any member in a wheelchair at Zone Bowling Morley there is only one wheelchair access ramp at the end of the bowling alley so make sure you please give tom the heads up on the Befriend Number so he can try to book down the end lanes near the wheelchair ramp a week before the event if possible!.

Volunteers from all walks of life get together to make re-useable fabric "Boomerang Bags" using recycled materials, to provide a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. The bags are given away to friends, family, colleagues, bagless strangers and so on, as a plastic bag alternative that can be used and reused, or passed on to others in need.

The bags create a platform to start conversations, make friends, up-cycle materials and work towards shifting society’s throw away mentality to a more sustainable revolution of re-use – one community, needle and thread at a time!

Thanks to wonderful donations from the local community, all materials are provided. BYO sewing machine if you would like to help out by sewing. No experience necessary, experienced sewists are available to help you if you are just starting out! Plenty of things for non-sewists to do as well.
