Adelaide Christmas Function

Postby DebT on Wed Dec 03, 2008 11:15 am

Hi,
forum member in SA are invited to attend the Adelaide Christmas Picnic , Sunday 14th December from 12 noonish.
It is proposed we meet at the Rotunda, (near Festival theatre) and find a shady spot to enjoy our BYO picnic.
Plenty of photo opportunities near the festival centre, paddle boats etc and we have the opportunity to take popeye to the zoo later in the afternoon.
While RSVP's not neceassary if you could pm me the number of children who will be attending there may be a little something in the lucky dip box.
Hopefully everyone will be able to make at some time during the afternoon to catch up and say Hi

There will be a small prize for the 'best/most interesting' (as voted by your peers) 'Christmas' happy snap brought along on the day

DebT :D

I would love to be there but won't be able to at this stage - we will be getting ready to head overseas. Have a great time though!

I'm afraid I won't be there either. I have a couple of other commitments.
I hope everyone else has fun.

Nice shots Tony and Fozzie, you guys have convinced me to get a zoo membership after the last time i was there with you and seeing the shots you get. Next year when the funds allow!

Sorry we missed it, had family issues on the day and wasn't able to get out there - looks like a fun day was missed

Maybe on the next

No, he doesn't.

Tony, love that image.

Foz - the pelican image ... looks more like it's on the Torrens, rather than actually within the zoo ????

Gary - we caught Poppye (River Boat) on the Torrens River near Festival Theatre to the Zoo and the Pelican was captured en route.

Thanks for arranging this Deb. It was a good day. Hopefully I'll have some pics up tonight to go with those nice shots above, but I've been busy playing with my new iPhone that I felt compelled to get after seeing Big V's. Can't believe how easily it sucked me in.

Kevin, I had an itouch not the iphone - anyway you will love its capabilities for showing photos and playing movies plus all of the cool apps you can load.
Gary, good call on the pelican
