We warm up by first walking once around Manning Lake (easy 20-minute walk with plenty of time to have a chat). Then we climb the stairs... slowly... It's a great aerobic workout and fitness test! If you can't do stairs, you have option of doing another lap of the lake. But there's a great panoramic view if you reach the lookout at the top of the stairs!

After we catch our breath, we continue the walk along a crushed-limestone track through the bush, arriving at another lookout, where the group does some exercises; usually step-ups, push-ups or whatever you fancy (again, it's optional).

The stairway is located at the south end of Davilak Avenue at Manning Park in Hamilton Hill. It has 192 steps, 50 landings and rest spots.

We meet in the carpark at the base of the Manning Park Stairs, Fridays 9.30am. (At the edge of the carpark that is...look towards the lake and you'll see us. If you spot a group of very athletic youngsters in short-shorts, that's not us!)

The walk takes just over an hour. Bring a bottle of water, hat, windcheater, rain jacket... There is a drinking fountain and toilets nearby. We walk all weathers, but we recommend you drink plenty of water before the walk, especially in summer. New members are very welcome!

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.

This is one of the biggest community fun runs held annually in Perth and has been going for a super-long time! There are actually various distances that you can do, from the 4 km walk, to the 12km, to the half marathon to a full marathon. There is something for everybody from the recreational walker to the hardcore marathon runner!

Whilst there are various distance and speed options, *****this Befriend event is specifically for people who want to do the 12km walk*****. We are not hardcore marathon runners. In fact, we are rather fond of our pre-course coffee, general observations and conversation along the route :) For those who have not done the City to Surf before, it takes between 1.5 to 2 hours when you go at our leisurely pace.

When you get to the end of the route, they even give you a cool, shiny medal for your efforts. So if you have always wanted to win a medal for something sporty but are not super-duper athletic, now is your big chance! :)

In order participate in the 12km walk, you will need to go to the official City to Surf for Activ website to register. If you register within the early bird period, you receive a free event shirt.

Here is the website address : http://perthcitytosurf.com/

THINGS TO REMEMBER
* You need to register on the City to Surf website to participate
* When you register, don't forget to register for the 12km walk option
* If you register within the early-bird time period, you receive a free event shirt
* Register as an individual, not as a team. We will walk together but I have not created an official Befriend team.

All the best with registration and I look forward to meeting you on the day!

Its August and lets not forget if whether its heavily raining so some nice sunshine and you want something to do why not come down for a game of ten pin bowling at Zone Bowling Morley with the fantastic Befriend Bowlers on Sunday the 25th of August from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

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 4 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 4 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 varies on certain prices (e.g concession, companion card, full price) ranging from $6.50 - $30.

For more information on cost of games you can find on their website https://www.zonebowling.com/bowling-activities/pricing
https://www.zonebowling.com/bowling-activities/people-with-a-disability

(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 (see how to find us).

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 (just incase if there is a waiting list of members can join in and have fun!). But if running 10 minutes late, it shouldn't be a problem as most times members are still lining up to play their games!

Please Note: 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!

Join in a lunch time walk if the weather is fine (or an indoor activity if the weather is too wet) with Exercise Physiologist Kyle and find 30 today.

It won't be too strenuous, the aim is to just get moving and to have a chat and think about good health.

We will meet outside GP Extra at 1 Chisham Ave (behind the Dome) and leave at 12pm sharp, returning by 12:30pm.

Finding your 30 minutes of physical activity a day can lead to a happier and healthier lifestyle for you and your family. Here’s why from Sports Australia:

Brain Health
Exercise training can increase brain size and improve memory - reducing the risk of dementia.

Mental Health
Regular physical activity reduces the risk of depression and has a range of benefits for mental health.

Social benefits
Organised physical activity creates opportunities for meeting new people and socialising.

Heart and Lung Health
Physical activity strengthens your heart and improves lung function – reducing your risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack.

Bone Health
Physical activity increases bone mineral density – important for bone strength; reducing risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

Environmental benefits
Physical activity, as a form of active transport, reduces our carbon foot print.

Please bring 100 points of identification (https://www.police.wa.gov.au/Police-Direct/National-Police-Certificates/Proof-of-identity) so we can complete a police clearance! You do not pay for this clearance, we do. If you are concerned about completing a clearance please get in touch; having something on your record doesn't automatically mean you can't volunteer.

All those who attend this Workshop will have 'Hosting' privileges added to their user profile, so that you can post your own events on this site, access free resources and training and connect with a community of other Hosts.

This is also the first step for all other volunteers, to get a basic understanding of Befriend, its history, values, and more!

Now that summer is on its way out, and the hot weather is going, it's a great time to get out in the beautiful outdoors for some fresh air and exercise for a healthy mind and healthy body. Tomato Lake is an easy walk on concreted pathways the whole way around. People of all abilities very welcome. Walk at your own pace, and make new friends or renew acquaintances.

Meet at 4pm in the Oats Street Car park near the children's playground. Walk will commence at 4:15pm I will be there with the Yellow Befriend flag. My mobile number is[masked] in case you can't find me.

Come down to the Old Shanghai on Thursday evenings for a variety of meals on offer and a good chat whilst enjoying dinner. There is a whole range of Asian food on offer, from Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Malaysian, as well as an American food stall. There's even a dessert stall for those with a sweet tooth.

We'll be there every week to eat, talk, eat, catch up on the week that's been, eat, and generally gossip about anything that comes to mind, while eating.

Food ranges from $10 - $20 with most meals around $15 and is generally a type of street food. If it's warm we can sit outside and enjoy the Fremantle evening and if it's cold, there are heaters inside to keep us warm.

So if you feel like a good meal, a good chat, and the chance to try a different meal every Thursday, come down to Old Shanghai in Fremantle.
